How we score →Yay
15 experts · Strong agreementWhat the gurus are saying
This cream's thick, emollient formula makes it a standout for eczema and deeply dry skin, with gurus praising its ceramides and barrier-repairing lipids for calming inflammation and relieving raw, irritated patches. The trade-off is real: the texture is so heavy that some find it works better on the body than the face, and the pump struggles once the jar depletes, meaning you'll need to scoop out the last portions by hand. Best applied to damp skin right after showering, and worth the investment if you have eczema or winter-dry skin, though one dermatologist found it overpriced for what it delivers.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.
Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
