I love using this $13 face balm as a nightly moisturizer, especially in the fall and winter months when my skin is dryer than usual. The formula is super thick, helping to support the skin barrier since it locks in moisture for hours on end. It's formulated with "nutrient-dense" bacuri butter, kokum butter, and apricot kernel oil, which is rich in antioxidants. Regular wear can result in a "soft, plump, radiant-looking complexion."
