Happier Barrier.

"The Happier Barrier is the slightly thicker option, great if you have dryness-prone skin. It's super inexpensive and packed full of really beneficial ingredients. They put everything on the front which makes it super simple. You've got squalane, you've got lipids. These are all going to be great hydrating and nourishing ingredients that deliver what you expect from a moisturizer without breaking the bank. I have been using these for the past two years. They've never steered me wrong. I love the fact they're a convenient size. You can throw these into your handbag or into your car and use them as a hand cream during the day. You can use them as part of your morning and your evening skincare routine. They're not packed full of actives, so they work alongside everything else. Just really affordable, cruelty-free, and I think leading the way when it comes to quality moisturizers. Well thought through in terms of the formulation that again don't need to break the bank."

"I actually think this probably works better than the Lash Pose because of its formula. So, yeah, if you have blackheads, sebaceous filaments, the little black dots on the nose, and you want them gone, get this. Better than any pore strip, better than any mask that you're going to use. Just massage it into the area for a solid 5 minutes. You'll feel those little plugs coming out. They feel almost grainy on the skin. That's satisfying and it genuinely works. I do this once a week, every week. Keeps everything in check. So, so good. And Geek and Gorgeous just happen to be one of my favorite favorite skincare brands."

"This is a great trio of these three products. As a three I think this is a real well thought through and curated collection which almost could be like someone's skincare routine. You're going to want to start with a cleanser but then you can apply these in this order and you've got a pretty comprehensive routine particularly for beginners. I like the additional saving which I like the fact that you get this little travel pouch with it as well which is really convenient."

"For me, I use the Geek and Gorgeous Happier Barrier. It's super inexpensive. It works really, really well, and it gives a nice blend of oils and other hydrators and humectants to work as an all over moisturizer and a targeted blackhead treatment, too. It's cruelty-free and far cheaper than alternatives. This has been a no-brainer and an absolute holy grail when it comes to my own blackheads. All you need to do is put a small amount onto the nose or the area where you have blackheads and massage in for 5 minutes. At the end of it, you'll find that not only is the nose super smooth and hydrated, but you'll feel little filaments, almost like little grains of sand, which are those sebaceous filaments and blackheads being lifted from the skin."

"The Geek and Gorgeous Happier Barrier actually works. Cruelty-free. It's far cheaper. This has been a no-brainer and an absolute holy grail when it comes to my own blackheads. All you need to do is put a small amount onto the nose or the area where you have blackheads and massage in for 5 minutes. At the end of it, you'll find that not only is the nose super smooth, hydrated to the gods, but you'll feel little filaments. They almost feel like little grains of sand, which are those sebaceous filaments and blackheads being lifted from the skin. If you do this every other day for a full week, you're going to see the true results. Honestly, there won't be a blackhead left in the area. This works so well because the oil in an oil-based moisturizer actually loosens and softens the oil and the sebaceous filaments that are in the skin and helps them to be lifted. That massage is really important because it's a gentle way of just detaching the blackhead from all the sides of the pores and helping it just to be released from the skin."

"This is the Geek and Gorgeous Happier Barrier. I last filmed this 18 months ago, and in that video this came in definitely in pole position. I still love it 18 months later. It's amazing. The Happier Barrier works for almost everyone. It's got lipids, it's got squalane, and I actually use this on my nose to eradicate blackheads. Get a little bit of this, massage it into the nose a couple of times a week, and when I say massage, really go in for like five minutes, and the oils, the lipids in here will pull out those blackheads. It works better than any pore strip going. Use it as an all over moisturizer. Use it as a targeted blackhead treatment. This is amazing. This is super affordable, and I find a little goes such a long way. It's also handbag size, so you can put this in if you want to use it as like a hand cream. Just a nice amazing product."

"For the more affordable option, this is the Geek and Gorgeous Happier Barrier. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. And one thing I would say with this one is if you have clogged pores on the nose, you've got the blackheads, the sebaceous filaments, you want to get rid of them, massaging this in for 60 seconds every day onto the areas where you have that, they'll be gone. Geek and Gorgeous for the budget friendly option, this for blackheads on the nose, stunning."

"I use this in two ways. I massage it into my nose, it just helps to take away any blackheads and sebaceous filaments. Use a tiny amount, massage it into the nose three, four times a week, and it'll just pull out all that dirt, debris, and the oil plugs that are congesting our skin. It genuinely works. It works far better than any pore strip you've ever tried. I also pop it in my laptop bag or keep one in the car and I use it as a hand cream. It's a really nice hand cream. It's probably one of the few that doesn't leave my hands super greasy. So you can use it either way. It's super inexpensive."

"This is the Geek and Gorgeous Happier Barrier. This is so good. It's one of the least expensive ectoin containing products you'll ever find. Ectoin is fantastic as it heals the barrier function of the skin. It prevents sun damage in terms of restoring any damage that has already happened. So during the summer, even if we're really on top of our sunscreen game, you will accumulate some sun damage and this can help repair some of it. And ectoin's a great ingredient to kind of do that. So ectoin is a must in my summer skincare routine. This is actually quite a thick moisturizer, so it lends itself well to adding any oils into it."

"The Geek and Gorgeous Happier Barrier is the best of the best. It contains those lipids and oils which are so important for dislodging those sebaceous filaments. It's also got some calming and soothing ingredients in here which is really important for minimizing irritation. It's thick enough that it's going to prevent transepidermal water loss, retaining the moisture levels in the skin, and this delivered so well for me. It's also super inexpensive if you're living in the UK or European Union. Geek and Gorgeous is one of the best brands around, easy to get your hands on, and I think this is the product that I'm going to continue to use going forward. I've experimented with others but this for me is just the best of the best."

"The Geek and Gorgeous Happier Barrier is the thicker, more occlusive moisturizer. It's great if you have a dryness-prone skin type. Super inexpensive, a little goes a long way, and it's always in my skincare routine. I think it's one of the very best moisturizers that I've found. It's entirely cruelty-free, and if you're looking for cruelty-free alternatives to Cerave and Cetaphil, it will absolutely do the job."

"This is packed full of oils, which if you use a small amount, and I mean a tiny amount, and massage it into the skin over time, it will just pull out some of the oil, the sebaceous filaments, the debris, and the blackheads, leaving your skin looking clear. Do it for like 5 minutes. You have to massage consistently for like 5 minutes to start seeing those results. But you'll actually feel those oil plugs coming out the skin. Ridiculously satisfying. Much more gentle than a pore strip and it actually works. This works better than any pore strip you have ever used. I've been doing that hack for the past 2 years, and I don't think I'll ever go back to using traditional pore strips and masks. They don't work half as well as this one does."

"This is the Happier Barrier moisturizer, packed full of ceramides again, higher concentration of ceramides than with other products, so you get a little extra for your money. This is one of my favorite favorite products, particularly on those days where I'm feeling super super dry because you've got lipids here. It's not just relying on ceramides for the hydration, you've got a blend of different lipids coming with soothing ingredients. This packs a punch in terms of hydration and is super super affordable. Geek and Gorgeous is one of my favorite brands and this is definitely a star performer."

"Geek and Gorgeous, like Remedy, are one of my all-time favorite skincare brands. They are just perfection with their formulations. The Happier Barrier is the more heavy duty one. I really like that Geek and Gorgeous have actually taken a different approach and have different base formulations for both of them. I think the Happier Barrier is fantastic for that intense hydration needs. It's also oil based. So it's great if you have a lot of blackheads, sebaceous filaments, and you want to do something called oil pulling. That's where you use an oil-based moisturizer and you massage it into the areas where you have that congestion for about 5 minutes and it actually removes that oil, those plugs, those blackheads from the skin. It genuinely works."

"This is the happier barrier. Beautiful for dryness prone skin, barrier supporting, extra hydration boost. That's one of the moisturizers that I tend to just use day in day out. I love them."

"This is a Game Changer. If you have sebaceous filaments on the nose, little black and white dots on the nose, and you want to get rid of them, the easiest way of doing that is massage this into the nose for 60 seconds every single day. You don't need to rinse it off. It acts as a moisturizer so you can just continue to use it, and you will see such a difference in those sebaceous filaments lifting. If you're disappointed by the reformulation of other products and want a cruelty-free option, I want this every single time. I love it."

"The Geek and Gorgeous Happier Barrier is amazing, super affordable, and a little goes a long way because it's super concentrated so you only need the smallest amount to actually deliver that hydration. The Happier Barrier is for drier skin types. I actually think if you're somebody that has super dry skin, I would buy both the Happier Barrier and the Hydration Station. I would put a small layer of the Hydration Station and then put a slightly thicker layer of the Happier Barrier on top. The Hydration Station contains ectoin which is the best calming, soothing, and hydrating ingredient you will ever find alongside other humectants, but it's lightweight and almost feels a bit serum-like. Put that on, stick this on top, and dry skin gone."

"This is my go-to for keeping the skin congestion free. It's inexpensive, it just works, and it's a personal favorite of mine. You get an oil-based moisturizer like this one and massage it into the nose for like 60 seconds every single day, and after about 3 or 4 days you'll notice such a difference. It'll keep pores congestion free. It works wherever you have those blackheads, you can absolutely use it."

"Happier Barrier, one of the best affordable moisturizers around. It comes in the Barrier Besties kit and you get a saving of around 15 to 18%, and then you get 15% on top of that."

"Their happy barrier moisturizer is great for drier skin types. It's got nice repairing ingredients and hydrating ingredients and some soothing ingredients in there as well."

"I really enjoy their Geek and Gorgeous Happier Barrier moisturizer. If you have oilier skin or acne prone skin, Hydration Stations probably the way you want to go, but for drier skin, damaged skin barrier, things like that, irritated skin, this is a wonderful moisturizer. It's also affordable."
