| Verdict | Augustinus Bader's lighter sister to The Rich Cream — same TFC8 hero, in a daily-driver weight for combo and oilier skin types ready to invest in the brand's science. | iS Clinical's reparative moisturizer is what plastic surgeons send patients home with after procedures — centella asiatica for wound healing, panthenol for barrier repair, squalane and shea butter for occlusion without comedogenicity. The Beverly Hills-originated brand formulates for post-laser, post-chemical-peel, and post-microneedling recovery. But the formula works equally well for chronically sensitised skin that needs the same level of barrier support without having undergone a procedure. |
