A squalane + glacial glycoprotein daily cream for dry to normal skin. Rich but not greasy, very lightly fragranced. A sensible daily moisturiser that won't interfere with actives — though the price/performance ratio against CeraVe is debatable.

The formulation
Ingredient stack
Each ingredient is listed in descending concentration. Above the 1% line the order is regulated — below it, brands can list in any order.
Ingredients above the dashed gold line are dosed above 1% (the regulatory threshold) — these are what the formulation is really built on.
A saturated, stable form of squalene — a skin lipid that declines dramatically after age 30. Structurally identical to human skin's natural oil: non-comedogenic, non-irritating, suitable for all skin types. Unlike most plant oils, it is oxidatively stable and will not go rancid. Functions as emollient, mild occlusive, and antioxidant.
The closest active-matched alternative is the Avène Tolerance Extreme Emulsion (99% active overlap). We found 2 options that share this product’s hero actives.
