It can be used daily or just when your skin needs extra support.
You just need to warm Glossier After Baume between your fingers to melt the formula before gently massaging into your skin.
My Review of Glossier After Baume
First of all, I absolutely love the packaging, but that’s no surprise when it comes to Glossier!
The glass jar is fully recyclable with a recyclable aluminum lid.
Now, this isn’t a full review because I’ve only had the sample for a couple of days, but I can say that After Baume has the most gorgeously rich and buttery texture.
Once you warm it a little in your fingers, the texture melts beautifully into the skin and provides a cushiony and comfortable feel. I used it at night after my serum and it felt super moisturizing and softening on my skin.
The following morning, the feeling of moisture was still there and my complexion felt bouncy, smooth and calm.
I have also tried a light layer under makeup, and it gives the skin a lovely glow! I’ll update more as soon as I can.
Does it contain fragrance?
I know this will be a big question for anyone with sensitive skin. Glossier say that After Baume is fragrance free and formulated without essential oils. It is also non-comedogenic.
When does Glossier After Baume launch?
The new Moisture Barrier Recovery Cream is £ 25 for 50ml and available from 15th February 2022.
For a limited time, After Baume will also be available as part of The Winter Rescue Duo (£ 30 saving £ 5) alongside Balm Dotcom.
