Ceramide Barrier Serum.

"Cocokind's Ceramide Barrier Serum has a cult following, and I can totally see why. It's one of the most gentle, modern barrier support options out there. It's lightweight. It has ceramides just like in the name. And ceramides are part of the glue that hold those bricks together, it's part of the mortar. So you want to replenish your lipid matrix with the ceramides and strengthen your skin barrier. It has squalane which is barrier friendly and it helps hydrate the skin and also help with some moisturization, and then glycerin is a classic humectant that draws in water like a magnet and will plump up your keratinocytes and help give you a little bit of a glow. Following up with a moisturizer over this could help plump up the skin enough to hide fine lines and wrinkles. It's so lightweight you can use it before your sunscreen in the morning. You can consider this for oily or acne prone skin, whereas other heavier balms you've got to be careful if you're acne prone. This one I'm more confident with patients with oilier skin types because it's so lightweight and it's better for people who don't want thick creams that just feel heavy on the skin."

"This is something that I do like to purchase over and over and to have in my collection for when I need it. This is a product that you can use every day twice a day just to prevent any possible irritation. It keeps your skin barrier nice and strong and it also helps to prevent water loss. So it's a very hydrating milky serum but it's also a great one to pair up with active ingredients to keep your skin in check while you're using tretinoin, retinol, glycolic acid, anything like that. You can honestly pair this up with anything and everything. So you can use this with copper peptides, vitamin C. You don't have to stress, you can use this with anything. Even though this is considered like a water-based serum, I would still use your thinner-based serums first after a facial mist and then use this as the last serum before your moisturizer and sunscreen or before anything that is cream-based. It does have a milky consistency to it."

"I absolutely adore it, it hydrates my skin, it plumps my skin, but then that soothing moisture on top just holds and hugs all that hydration in place. It's really soft but it's not sticky and tacky or greasy. However, my skin was feeling worse and worse. I was using this morning and nighttime, everything else in my routine was consistent, and my skin was not feeling it. It was inflamed, it was looking a lot more red, displaying all those classic symptoms of your barrier not being good: dull skin, uneven skin, red skin, inflamed skin, irritated skin, dehydrated skin, itchy skin, tight skin. I realized I had missed a crucial ingredient here and this is what was causing all the problems: it was gluconolactone, which is a PHA. It's misleading to me a little bit because they're saying it has ceramides, it's for your barrier, it's for a healthy strong barrier, right, and there's two forms of AHA in here. PHA is often referred to as a new generation AHA, so it is often touted as being a lot more gentle for your skin than say glycolic acid is, but it is still a chemical exfoliant."

"The Cocokind Ceramide Barrier Serum is a holy grail serum for skin barrier support and hydration, made with wonderful ingredients to not only reduce transepidermal water loss but also hydrate your skin, keep your skin hydrated, plump, supple, and help support your skin's own ceramide production. Ingredient-wise, it is made with five different ceramides along with ceramide precursors that support your skin's internal ceramic protection, along with a blend of fatty acids and humectants like beta glucan. I love the fact that it is a milky emulsion-like serum that is hydrating but lightweight and fast-absorbing, so very elegant and great to use with your other actives in a very non-irritating way. It doesn't really interact with your other actives, so great to use once a day or twice a day or as needed."

"My top product for dry or dehydrated skin is the Cocokind Ceramide Barrier Serum. I discovered this one when I was doing my 60 second brand review videos and I saw this looked at the ingredients and I was like the ingredients in this product are so good why have I never tried it and I started using it and sure enough it is a really good formula. The $22 serum has ingredients like propanediol to help increase the moisture retention squalene one of the best moisturizing oils out there glycerin sunflower seed oil and ceramides to help make sure your skin is healed and protected so it can hold on to moisture and then the reason I really fell in love with the product it has PHA and lactic acid both of which are exfoliants that are particularly really good for dry skin. Lactic acid and PHA are humectants which means they're able to retain moisture from the environment in your skin which is super good if you have dry skin but they're also the best exfoliating ingredients out there if you struggle with dryness or dehydration they're very gentle but super effective of getting rid of those dead skin cells on your face and it's hard to find a good product for dry skin with exfoliating ingredients because they're usually targeted at either oilier skin or they're so powerful that people with dry skin might over exfoliate themselves with this one you won't have to worry about it. It's just such a well-rounded ingredient list. Because it has lactic acid and PHA I would recommend using this at night time."

"This is their Ceramide Barrier Serum and this is so lightweight. If you're in a heat wave and you just don't even want to put on moisturizer but you still want to get your ceramides, your hyaluronic acid, your glycerin, your niacinamide in, this is packed with all those things. I think this has like five ceramides in it. It just feels really fantastic. If you kept it in your mini fridge or in your fridge and then put it on, it would be so nice and cooling for these hot summer days."
