      Tested this through a full Pretoria winter and it kept my skin comfortable the whole way through.

      Eczema-prone skin over here — this didn't trigger anything, which is rare for me.

      A friend who's way more into skincare than me recommended this, and for once the hype checked out.

      Wasn't expecting much but this one surprised me. Simple, no drama, does the job.
