Atlantic: Great Sea Battles, Heroic Discoveries, Titanic Storms, and a Vast Ocean of a Million StoriesThe Atlantic Ocean is the second largest body of water on the planet. Much of the world's weather forms over this vast expanse; huge quantities of food come from its depths and it has been witness to voyages of discovery, fierce battles and scientific explorations.

The Atlantic Ocean is the second largest body of water on the planet. Much of the world's weather forms over this vast expanse; huge quantities of food come from its depths and it has been witness to voyages of discovery, fierce battles and scientific explorations. In Atlantic, bestselling author Simon Winchester explores the ocean's history from its geological origins to modern times, when the fates of both the environment and humanity are so inextricably entwined.

With a captivating mix of science and storytelling, the New York Times bestselling author of The Professor and the Madman and Krakatoa sets this epic narrative against the backdrop of mankind's intellectual evolution. Atlantic is not simply the story of an ocean, but the story of civilization itself and its changing relationship with the natural world.

Simon Winchester's many books include The Professor and the Madman, The Man Who Loved China, The Map that Changed the World, Krakatoa, and A Crack in the Edge of the World. Each has been a New York Times bestseller, also appearing on numerous best and notable lists. Mr. Winchester was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 2006. He lives in Western Massachusetts.

From dry to soft in days.
Size: 3.38 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: 3.38 Fl Oz (Non SPF)
I bought this moisturizer at a time when my skin truly needed help, with mature and sensitive skin, and I was dealing with intense dryness. My skin felt tight, dull, and uncomfortable, even after trying several products that didn’t provide lasting hydration. I decided to try this cream and within the first few days, I noticed a real difference. It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, doesn’t feel greasy, and most importantly, it doesn’t irritate my skin—instead, it soothes it. With continued use, my skin became softer, more supple, and visibly healthier, without that constant tight feeling. I love that it’s fragrance-free, oil-free, and non-comedogenic, as it hasn’t caused any breakouts. It also contains ceramides and niacinamide, and the added SPF makes my routine much easier. After trying many products, I can honestly say this is the only one that truly worked for me. It’s now a daily essential.

Nice!!
Size: 3.38 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: 3.38 Fl Oz (Non SPF)
This has become one of my favorite skincare products. I previously used Neutrogena Hydro Boost along with a separate moisturizer because I wanted hydration without feeling greasy, but this product feels like the two had a child and combined the best qualities of both. It provides all-day hydration, yet it never leaves my face feeling oily, heavy, or sticky. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly, making it comfortable to wear throughout the day and under sunscreen. My skin feels moisturized for much longer than it did with my previous routine, and I appreciate that I can get the hydration I want without that shiny, over-moisturized feeling. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a lightweight moisturizer that still delivers lasting hydration.

Moisturizing & repairs skin barrier, but does pill.
Size: 3.38 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: 3.38 Fl Oz (Non SPF)
Given myself a couple weeks of consistent use before giving a review. There are a lot of pros to this product which include: moisturizing and stays moisturized all day, made my PIE marks (post acne marks) fade a lot faster. Repairs my skin barrier, especially while using tretinoin nightly, not too thick but thick enough to keep my face hydrated. It does not have a smell. The cons are: slight burn for about 15 seconds but disappears, it pills if I apply too much. It does pill less if I pat it on my face versus rubbing; it does not pill when I apply liquid foundation. I just have to let it dry for 15-20 mins before applying makeup. I found the pros to overpower the cons and will continue to use this product.

Great daily lotion
Size: 3.38 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: 3.38 Fl Oz (Non SPF)
Great daily lotion. I love that it is light and fragrance free. It is perfect for day use. I have dry skin and sometimes it is not enough to use by itself. I mostly use it during the day as a base for sunscreen but it feels really good on the face and does not leave my face feeling greasy. The ingredients are really good and the value for money is great. I love LRP products and this is so easy to use.
