I swear, with the last several videos you've come out with it's like you're reading my mind. Also, thank you so much for the time, care and knowledge you put into your content, it's so helpful and really just a joy to watch.
Ah the joys of ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids! My skin has never been healthier and it’s thanks to your videos that I have barrier care products permanently in my routine 😊
Hi kelly i just love how consistent u r with your recommendations..i have seen influencers changing products everyday and not honest about them ..i have bought cosrx cica toner and isntree milk cleanser and moist cream on your recommendations and working amazing for me.may you achieve more and more every year
you are so beautiful aaaaaa I feel so proud of myself for being able to see you here on this platform talking about skincare and hearing you makes me feel so calm
Kelly you are so right we only have one face, one skin barrier. I’ve certainly learnt my lesson from over doing it, thankfully my skin is in a good place. The main culprits over the years have been exfoliators and retinoids, however that’s my fault and not the products. I have the Naturie on its way to me, I was able to source it locally but I do have a huge stylevana order to complete and adding things daily to cart( thanks to Kelly😂) I’ve also just completed my deciem order too, phew it’s hard work this skincare lark 😂😂
It’s getting colder in the UK and I have my I’m from honey mask at the ready. I have also started the Necessaire body lotion which so far is lovely. I have enough of the Stratia lipid gold. I have the new ordinary barrier serum at the ready to open as I have a couple to finish. Great video as always
Kelly - I am 53 and live in MN. Cold never bothered my skin but since I’ve turned 50 it’s been a struggle. I hate having the heat on lol, we do not have a humidifier on our furnace either… plus I sleep with my bedroom window open since I now have hot flashes ugh 😣. Anything with HA in it burns my skin… I need recommendations for cleaners, toner, essence, night cream, day cream, under eye, etc. my skin barrier has been compromised… I would prefer no acids.
Love your videos. You are the only channel i watch, when i need suggestions on skincare that really works. Thank you for helping keep my skin healthy ❤️❤️❤️
The weather is getting colder where I live too, and between the colder weather and the heat blasting in many buildings, it’s been causing havoc to my skin. I just added vanicream to my skin regimen, and it’s been helping massively. Sometimes I mix it with my regular moisturizer, so it isn’t as heavy.
For the past 2 yrs due to one of your videos I’ve almost exclusively looked for creams with ceramides/cholesterol/ fatty acids. When used year round I notice I no longer get that skin that flakes off and dries out. Another discovery I sort of came across is an ingredient called L22. It’s a barrier complex type of ingredient with a ton of research behind it. In fact geek and gorgeous use it in their happier barrier. It’s jojoba oil macadamia sterols, along with squalene, and several others and I notice products with L22 (trade name)complex work on a whole other level with my skin. I’ve only been able to find one or two Korean brands that use it and several US ones. I rarely steer from Korean skincare but recently discovered brandefy triple lipid which has the l22 complex as well as ceramides collateral fatty acids, phytosterals etc. I love the texture of that cream it is very reminiscent of some Korean creams I’ve used. I get it on sale though otherwise it’s like 59$ highly recommended
Lately I’ve been using a new to me serum from skin & lab called barrierderm milky serum. I LOVE it because I have been a tret user for 15 yrs and always get pilling when I put it over a few serums but with the barrierderm it allows it to glide and slip right over it and I no longer get that annoying pilling. I always have to put one or two serums before tret when the weather starts getting cooler bc my barrier without fail starts flaking off. You kinda read my mind with this video!❤❤
I remember the Hatomugi toner was one of the first toners from Japan I used and I actually did not find it hydrating. It was too light for me. Loved the Skin1004 products and the Yam root cleanser, I used up two! My favourite for barrier repair are Aestura, Celimax, Skin1004 and Torriden Ceramide range so far
@@kathleenwarner4046not op, but the dual barrier line is really nice! i personally liked the serum (a moisturising lotion like serum, sadly too small imo) and the cream as well (i have dry skin, it felt occlusive enough while being quite elegant and not greasy). i think the toner confused me a bit (it's a milky type and i'm used to more pure hydration toners), and thought i originally really liked the cleanser (very gentle, non stripping) i realised after a while it's quite hard to fully wash off and kinda makes my skincare react with it and sort of slightly foam or leave a creamy residue
@@kathleenwarner4046 I use the entire Noni range- cleanser, toner, ampoule, cream and sheet masks. I also got the noni mist. They have other ranges as well but the noni one is my favourite as it's good for dry skin and soothing
The name change gets me Lipid gold just doesn't do it justice like liquid gold does goes it's liquid gold in a bottle 😆 I just can't ever think of lipid it always goes to liquid when I talk about it or comment on it. The weather is so weird it's warm it's cold it warm and cold can't make up it's mind and my skin isn't taken it well feel dry and tight burning even my hands and body cause of the heater then air ! It's crazy
Hi Kelly, Is there a worry that using Cerave Healing Ointment around the eyes could cause melia? I have a couple of bumps that I am trying to get rid of by using Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Cream with Ginseng and Retinal. I am trying to walk the tightrope between keeping my eye area moisturized and causing melia by using products that are too heavy. Thank you for all the information you provide. I love your videos.
Petrolatum is not actually pore clogging and is considered non-comedogenic. BUT, because it seals everything in it can sometimes cause issues with the other things layered underneath it. I'm not sure what causes your milia but petrolatum likely will not cause more.
I like your video, starting from watching your another video about barrier damage and then watch this. I suffer from barrier damage since this summer, at first I didn’t know it’s barrier damage, because my face skin is keeping better and worser, and it becomes severe after sunburn and entering winter. Also I didn’t know what cause it at first, so did things made it worse. Almost all face red and itchy and painful. Cannot using any mild cleansers, only can wash with water, then super heavy repair cream, La Roche-posay cicaplast B5+ help me a lot. But I still feel not moisture enough, so partially cover with Vaseline after repair cream. （I usually am mixed/neutral skin, not oily at all, so this work for me)Eventually my face get better, recover like 95%. I hope more ppl can know that how important skin barrier health is, not like me, almost got depression. And I want to encourage ppl like me, just need to believe you will recover one day. I have bought Cerave moisture cream as you and a lot of ppl recommend, I think I will use that as daily care during winter for face and whole body. Thanks for making videos to spread skin care knowledge.
I never thought to put oil under tretinoin to help buffer. I'm nearing the end of my tret journey after two years of peeling regardless of hydrating, moisturizing, and buffing methods I have used. It's been frustrating, and my skin being in a constant state of irritation is outweighing the positives of tret, but I will give your idea of using oil one last try!
Kelly, the other day I saw a video from Dr. Pie, the Korean who tests the oils and looks at the formulas, looks at them under a microscope to decide which are the winners, and she talked about how cleansing oils contain surfactants on their own and that they are not needed. a double cleansing that if there is residue left can be removed with a toner and it makes sense not to do double cleansing because the skin barrier can be damaged with so much cleansing, what do you think about that? 😊
I personally think that would be a really finicky method for removing makeup/sunscreen and likely would require the use of cotton pads which would be kind of abrasive and wasteful if you don't use the cotton resuable ones. As someone with congestion prone skin it also doesn't sound like a good fit for me. It's an interesting experiment but the performance irl is what matters and you can only determine that by using the products. Don't over cleanse or use harsh products is still the advice that should guide us all.
Hey Kelly, I think the hatomugi skin conditioning milk and the skin conditioner are 2 different products. I know it since I too mistook the conditioning milk for the skin conditioner. The milk is like an emulsion whereas the conditioner is more like a milky toner 😅
Yes there are 2 versions. I choose this one since I like to use watery and thin toners first, the thicker emulsion texture layered on top really helps hug that in while offering the moisture level I'm seeking in the dry weather.
Last winter I went thru a rough time with my skin barrier, and it turned out to be the Vanicream gentle cleanser-who’d have thought it would be that?!? Just goes to show that what’s gentle for one person might not be for another. It was stripping my skin. Now, it’s a perfect cleaner for my brushes.
Same, it stung my skin. I need products without hyaluronic Acid in it during the winter. I live in MN… I wish more influencers would talk about using that in the north and the reverse effects it has on the skin. Any products would be appreciated without HA please.
@@sherihays4559hi I'm Loretta De Los Rios using Frank's account to make this comment with his permission. I don't believe Vanicream cleanser has HA!( unless you just mentioned this) You might want to try a oil cleanser. And depending on the stage your skin is, double cleanse with using the Vanicream cleanser. Or used the Yam root one that was shown in the video also. But like I said depending on the stage your skin is., also protecting your Barrier and the NEED. I use several type of cleansers. I enjoy them. Have you tried the Uplifting Multifunctional oil cleanser. It's very nice., it doesn't contain HA also the Ordinary Glicolipid cream cleanser. 🙏🤲✝️
I'm with Dermatica and have been for 13 months now , I use less products . I use isntree onion Toner pm and jin jung Sung Essence with T.O Copper Peprides am . 😊❤👏
Hi Kelly. I love your videos. I got the lipid gold because of you and it helped me a lot with my skin moisture. I was looking into getting a thicker moisturizer to go on top of the lipid gold and came across this brand called regimen lab, they have a moisturizer called CREAM that has the same important ingredient plus colloidal oat extract ( an ingredient that I really like) can you do a review on the brand please please. I really trust your suggestions and recommendations compare to others influencers. Thank you
Hi! Really appreciate the video, great inspo for when the weather turns colder! Just one thing, i have the naturie product you showed and it's not meant to be a toner, i think you confused the conditioning milk with the skin conditioner (which is supposed to be much more watery, like a milky toner). The one you demo'd is the smaller bottle which is supposed to be a lightweight moisturizer in a recent expansion of the hatomugi skin conditioner line, which is why they have very similar and kinda confusing names
Yeah they do have more of a toner version too but since I always layer a watery (non moisturizing) toner first the thicker version makes sense for my routines.
Because my use of tretinoin nightly demands more moisturizing barrier care, I've focused most of my skin care on good moisturizers and less on active serums, both am and pm, . I feel it's paid off.
Hi Kelly✨ I love this routine! 🙌🏿 Do you think the Lipid Gold Eye Cream can be multi purposes for an all over face cream? I have a hard time with the OG lipid gold because of the niacinamide but want the barrier support in the formula.
I agree with @maryv9832 it would be an extremely poor value since the eye cream is only 15ml but the lotion serum is 50ml. Look into Paula's Choice Omega+ line, they have a cream serum and a moisturizer that has a very similar POV as Stratia but no niacinamide!
Hi kelly. Wonderful content. I have received my parcel of cosrx peptide booster essence today. But im waiting review from wonderful and graceful teacher kelly. ❤ From Pakistan
Emulsions are flexiable and can be used a multitude of ways, here I use as a 2nd hydrating product to help hug in hydration and offer light moisture early in my routine.
I've been getting botox between my brows but still have a crease shadow. The aesthetician suggested pdo threads to boost collagen but that's way out of my budget. I just got some agireline from TO to try to boost collagen and also fight dynamic lines from forming. Do you think this will help? Are there other ingredients or products (around the same price point) that would help this issue? ❤
Argireline should help but also collagen stimulating ingredients like retinol or vitamin C will hleo make more meaningful longer lasting changes. I'd also suggest using lots of hydrating products like gentle toners or serums because those ingredients can help plump and smooth skin, especially if it's a little dry.
Thx as always for your recommendations! I wanted to try the Isntree Yam Root Milk Cleanser, too. But the cream version dried my skin out very badly so i'm too afraid that the cleanser does the same. Loving the Laneige cream skin milk oil cleanser right now, but after it is empty i want to switch to a cruelty free milk cleanser
Since the isntree cleanser is a wash off, it likely will not cause dryness (assuming the issue with the cream is that it wasn't protective enough for your skin and not an ingredient sensitivity).
Great advices, does cerave healing ointment cause milia? I have dry undereye area but prone to milia, still would like to do slugging for that area. Can you recommend some products for to seal everything but wont cause milia. Thank you 😊
Petrolatum is not actually pore clogging and is considered non-comedogenic. I'm not sure what causes your milia but petrolatum likely will not cause more.
@@KellyDriscoll not sure what cause milia, i spend longer time to get rid of it so i ve been picky with everything i put on that area, i didint know that about. Thanks for replying, enjoy your day
My skin reacts to any fatty alcohols. C and S are the worst offenders. It burns stings and then welts very quickly. It is so hard to find moisturizers without it that will still help me with my dry and dehydrated skin. Any recommendations?
Dermatica doesnt serve my state which is strange since most do. Kelly can you let us know if Stratia has a black friday sale?? I love their products but money is tight.
Please help. Which toner Will you recomend for combination very sensitive skin with sebaceos fillaments and little texture. Among skin1004 centella toning toner or anua 77? Those are the ones i can get in colombia. Thank you very much ❤
The Centella toner has exfoliants in it so if you have sensitive skin I would not recommend using that every day. Anua does not have exfoliating ingredients so it could be used as an everyday toner. I hope that helps!
You're a wizard, Kelly (somehow it sounds better than witch😅): I was on my tret journey and it was going smoothly, then I upped to 0.5 and you predicted a purge and, unfortunately, it did happen. I think there were other factors at play, but it happened. I'm now taking a pause to repair my skin and will soon give it another try.
