I bought this after having a skin peel! My skin was so dry i felt it would crack! It was dark,hurting and so uncomfortable! I bought the post peel cream and it was like vaseline thick and unable to provide any moisture or comfort! This was a true lifesaver! I applied a thick layer and it sank into my skin!you can apply for 20 min to absorb or tissue off excess! I used mine as a night cream and by the third night my skin was soft glowing plump radiant! Its brilliant not just as a mask but also for exceptionally dehydrated,thirsty and uncomfortable skin!
