Q: What is included in the IMAGE MD® Barrier Repair Duo?
A: The duo includes the IMAGE MD® Gentle Cleansing Balm 28g and the IMAGE MD® Barrier Repair Recovery Balm. Together they form a cleanse-and-restore routine suited to sensitive, dry and compromised skin, including skin recovering from professional treatments.
