Push all your other night creams aside and make room for Farmacy’s Sleep Tight Firming Night Balm with Echinacea Greenevy. A little goes a long way with this product, warm the balm in your palms and apply to freshly cleansed skin. The texture transforms from a balm to a highly moisturizing oil and when you wake in the morning there is no shiny residue, just a glowing, firm and highly moisturized complexion.
