What reviewers say
345 Relief Cream
Great calming cream
"If my skin is irritated I can use this knowing it will help calm it down. It is a good basic moisturizer."
Amazing for problematic skin
"After a week of using this, it's been AMAZING. My skin has been acting up for months, it's dehydrated, oily, sensitive and textured."
Aloe 99 Soothing Gel
"This gel is clear, slightly thick, yet spreads easily. It doesn't necessarily smell of anything in particular, just crisp and clean."
