ULTRA REPAIR HYALURONIC HYDRATING PRIMER My thoughts after trying the Frist Aid Beauty ULTRA REPAIR HYALURONIC HYDRATING PRIMER. It’s lightweight and didn’t cause any skin irritation.

My original 08 L review is below: The Sunroi Ceramide ointment cream works wonders for my dry skin. I used it last night. The cream is milky white in color.
