Paired with CeraVe and Cicaplast in dry+sensitive HG threads; SCA posts use it to seal moisture overnight on flaky patches. Caveats: greasy, can stain pillows, some break out if used full-face — thin layer over moisturiser. Strong oily-skin no for full face.
Regularly named next to Cicaplast in Reddit slugging and barrier chats.
Dry-skin reviewers often wake up feeling softer on the sealed patches.
