Facewash
This is the BEST light cleanser for dry to oily skin. It’s a standard cleanser that works great for sensitive skin. I like the pump specifically because it lasts longer than a squeeze bottle since you get less out at a time.

Cicalfate is my holy graillll. I will always have back ups and will always repurchase. Use it as a thick moisturizer, for damaged skin, an extra boost, etc.
Cicaplast belongs in everyone’s skincare routine. I use it on top of toner, as a mask, for scars, for everything !
