Description

  • Skin Recovery Lotion by Renée Rouleau gives highly sensitive, acne-prone skin the oil-free moisture it needs without clogging the pores or causing breakouts.

Skin Recovery Lotion goes to work fast to make skin look and feel calm and comfortable. The result? Skin that looks clearer and healthier with less sensitivity.

      Light and balanced moisture

      This lotion is perfect for blemish prone skin. I’m not sure how the formula works, but somehow a little goes a long way to effectively hydrate the skin. It’s calming and leaves a nice matte finish. I’ve never used anything like it.

      False claims

      I bought this due to my sensitive adult acne prone skin and it made me break out in a rash. It has a citrusy scent and I'm not sure if that's what did it or not. I'm so disappointed. I was really hoping that this was my new favorite product.

      use in the warmer months

      I use this lotion during the summer and switch to Sheer Moisture Lotion at night time during the winter when my skin gets drier from the cold and heat in the house.

      Great Moisture for Blemish-Prone Skin

      I've always struggled to find a moisturizer that was sufficiently hydrating but also suitable for my blemish-prone skin. Most products for breakout-prone skin are either too light or have added acne-fighting ingredients that I don't need because I'm already addressing that issue with other treatments and retinol. So happy to find a product that seems to check all my boxes!
