Is BioCorneum plus SPF30 good?
Having that this product is often prescribed by surgeons and dermatologists, we can assume that it has a good reputation among skin care professionals.
Just like similar products, this one should be applied once the skin has healed. It is suitable for the face, neck, chest, hands, and any other area exposed to the sun.
The reviews about this product are not very impressive but the most common reason is that (as usual) people expect visible changes after the first days of application.
Sadly, the healing process requires way more time and patience.

- Isopropyl Myristate (a common emollient, lubricant; considered generally safe)
How to apply BioCorneum plus SPF 30?
