What to know before buying
- The manufacturer describes this as suitable for dry, rough and uneven skin and mentions keratosis pilaris- and psoriasis-prone skin. These are product claims, not a substitute for individual suitability advice. The listing also claims sustained 24-hour hydration and smoother, softer skin in three days, which should not be treated as guaranteed results.
