Not great, the UK one os better than the US one

How’s the distribution? Available freely or limited?
Limited

What’s good about it?
This is soothing, and definitely something to look at if your skin is compromised in any way. It doesn’t block your pores (see below), the formula is sophisticated for a good price, it’s hydrating and softening. Works well over any serum or oil (that I’ve used with it) such as Vintner’s Daughter, Zelens Treatment Drops, without interfering with the process. One to think about for the current weather (winter!).

What’s not so good about it?
I can’t use it for more than a few days at a time, although on reflection, this could be because it works, repairs your acid mantle, and then you don’t need it anymore, so the formula builds up your skin and you (I) get a couple of teeny whiteheads overnight, and then stop!

Would I purchase/repurchase?
Yes, affordable and a good moisturiser

Do you need it?
If your acid mantle is compromised, if your skin sensitised or reactive, yes. Consider it.
