Happy Barrier Cream.

"This one, which is the Happy Barrier Cream, 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 don't need to break the bank."

"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. I actually think this probably works better than other options because of its formula. And Geek and Gorgeous just happen to be one of my favorite favorite skincare brands."

"The Happy Barrier is just a great moisturizer. This is one of the best moisturizers around."

"The Geek & Gorgeous Happy Barrier Cream actually works. It's cruelty-free and far cheaper than alternatives. This has been 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. 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. The massage is really important because it's a gentle way of detaching the blackhead from all the sides of the pores and helping it be released from the skin."

"This is the Geek and Gorgeous Happy Barrier. I last filmed this video 18 months ago, and in that video, this came in definitely in pole position. Still love it 18 months later. It's amazing. The Happy Barrier, I would say, works for almost everyone. They do do a lighter version, which is called the Hydration Station. So if you have very oily skin, you might want to go for that lighter one, but most people can get away with this one, the Happy Barrier. 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."

"The geek and gorgeous Happy Barrier Cream is beautiful, absolutely beautiful. If you have clogged pores on the nose, blackheads, or spacious filaments you want to get rid of, massaging this in for 60 seconds every day onto the areas where you have that, they'll be gone. It's the budget-friendly option with a beautiful formulation, and for blackheads on the nose, it's stunning."

"I use this in two ways. I massage it into my nose. It just helps to take away any blackheads and sebaceous filaments that you might have. 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. Works far better than any pore strip you've ever tried. I also 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 and like I don't want to touch anything after applying it. It's really good. Super inexpensive and I'll just get through loads of it."

"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 Happy Barrier Cream 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 again really important for just 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 so well for me. It's also super inexpensive if you're living in the UK 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 for this hack going forward. I've experimented with others, this for me is just the best of the best."

"The Geek & Gorgeous Happy Barrier is the thicker, more occlusive of the two moisturizers they offer. It's great if you have a more dryness-prone skin type. Super inexpensive, a little goes a long way, and it's always in my skincare routine. Entirely cruelty-free. I think it's one of the very best moisturizers that I found."

"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 of 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. So if you want to eliminate your blackheads, you want to decongest the skin, just buy this. 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."

"The Geek & Gorgeous Happy Barrier Cream is one of my favorite moisturizers and great in terms of compatibility. You can mix a small amount with a powder to make a paste, apply it to the nose, leave it on for about 10 minutes, and then gently massage it in before washing it off. Do that a couple of times a week and within a fortnight your blackheads will be eliminated, those sebaceous filaments will be lifted, and you'll definitely see a whole lot less congestion on your nose. It's gentle enough that you could technically do that every single day, but for me I do it a couple of times a week and it just works so well. The key thing is to get a nice thick paste you really want something that actually leaves a visible layer on the skin, and then you rinse that off after 10 minutes and it's gone without a trace. It leaves behind a nice level of calming, soothing, and hydration, so it's kind of like a two-in-one blackhead-busting treatment and some extra hydration for the nose too."

"This is the Happy 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 soothing ingredients. This packs a punch in terms of hydration and is super super affordable. Geek & Gorgeous, one of my favorite brands, and this is definitely a star performer."

"Geek and Gorgeous are one of my all-time favorite skincare brands. They are just perfection with their formulations. The Happy Barrier is the heavy duty one. It's fantastic for 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 it. These are the moisturizers that I tend to just use day in day out. I love them. I actually use them on my nose to get rid of blackheads. If you haven't heard of this hack, let me tell you, this is the best blackhead buster you will find."

"This is the Happy Barrier. 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 barrier balms and want a cruelty-free option, this every single time. I love it."

"The Geek & Gorgeous Happy Barrier is for drier skin types. These are amazing, they're super affordable, and a little goes a long way because these are super concentrated so you only need the smallest amount to actually deliver that hydration. If you're someone that has super dry skin, I would actually buy both the Happy Barrier and the Hydration Station. I would put a small layer of the Hydration Station and then a slightly thicker layer of the Happy 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, dry skin gone."

"This is my go-to for that hack. It's inexpensive, it just works, and so this is a personal favorite of mine when it comes to just keeping the skin congestion free. I tend to focus it on the nose but it works wherever you have those blackheads."

"Happier Barrier is one of the best affordable moisturizers around. It's a wonderful addition to any skincare routine, and if your skin's going through it, especially in winter when it's cooler and your skin tends to be more dryness prone or a little bit more irritated, this is like an instant fix for that."

"The Happy Barrier Cream is great for dry skin. It's a very simple but very nice moisturizer. I went through a good long phase of using this and I still use this a lot on my neck and chest and things."

"This one's great for dry dehydrated skin as well as damaged skin barriers. It's also vegan and for exciting ingredients in here we've got squalane, ceramides, green tea, and Centella Asiatica, and it's just a wonderful moisturizer. If you suffer from dry skin or dehydrated skin, it's a wonderful moisturizer. No fragrance in it, no scent in it. Lovely product."

"The Geek & Gorgeous Happy Barrier Cream, which is $11, doesn't get better than that. It's got ceramide NG, phytosterols, phytosteryl macadamia, green tea extract, and squalane. It's a really wonderful cream, hydrating, and it's more geared towards drier skin types. They have another version which is geared towards oilier skin types."

"Geek and Gorgeous Happy Barrier is a nice moisturizer, it's 11 bucks. It's really nice, great for dry and sensitive skin types."

"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 Happy Barrier Moisturizer. If you have oilier skin or acne prone skin, Hydration Station is 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."

"The Geek & Gorgeous Happy Barrier Cream contains squalane, ceramides, bisabolol, and lanolin and it's just a really nice moisturizing cream. If you have skin that is on the drier side, this one's really nice, or if you have a damaged barrier. It's pretty easy to damage your skin barrier these days. Over exfoliating, using retinol, getting adjusted and acclimated to retinol, over cleansing, too harsh of products, too much alcohol, too much fragrance, things can damage your skin barrier. The sun, UV damage is huge. So it's really easy to damage your barrier and then it takes some effort to build it back up because when your skin barrier is damaged, you don't retain moisture, you end up getting flaky, dry, red, irritated, itchy. So it's really easy to damage it and then to repair it sometimes can take a while and you just have to be really gentle with it."

"The Geek and Gorgeous Happy Barrier Cream is really nice. It's got squalane, ceramides, and [allantoin], a really nice product from Geek and Gorgeous. If you notice your skin is really dry and not retaining moisture as well, I'd probably recommend layering some of these products. You could apply the Geek and Gorgeous cream over other hydrating layers."

"The Geek and Gorgeous Happier Barrier is a lightweight moisturizer that I really enjoyed and might eventually pick up again."

"It's rich enough to buffer my Tretinoin, but not too rich for my skin."

"My suggestions would have been the Geek and Gorgeous Happy Barrier for winter."
