An ELLE editor said: “More often than not, removing my makeup leaves my skin red and irritated underneath. However, the one product that instantly calms it down is this balm. I don’t understand how it does it, but within just a minute or two, 90 percent of the redness disappears. I will forever keep this in my arsenal—it’s a true must-have for all of my fellow rosacea sufferers trying to live their best lives.” —Carol Lee, ELLE.com associate beauty e-commerce writer
