Safree Crux
Ultra Cica Barrier Repair Cream
Moisturizer

The ultimate local SOS rescue shield for over-stripped or burning skin barriers.

It utilizes a multi-lamellar lipid network matching the skin's natural structure to glide on like a protective cushion, locking in moisture while allowing cells to breathe. It extinguishes active raw chemical acid stinging indexing completely.
