What the gurus are saying

This cream sinks in better than the original formula and earns consistent praise for how soothing and restorative it feels, especially in cold weather and alongside actives like retinoids. The reformulation addresses earlier concerns about texture, though it remains quite rich and best suited to those with genuinely dry skin or seasonal dryness. The price is steep for the amount, but gurus who've tried it report it performs well enough to justify regular use in their routines.

"This is actually a lot more elegant. It's still incredibly rich, but it's actually sinking into my skin a lot better. It feels so soothing, it feels so restorative to my skin. It still smells funny but I don't mind that because it's performing for me so much better, and I just ended up using it so much in the cold weather. That's really where this cream shines, I think, for dry skin. It's incredibly rich."

5 Star Skincare Empties! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"It's very rich, it's moisturizing, it's barrier restorative. I knocked a star off of it because it's pretty pricey product for what it is, for the amount that you get, and it's not my year-round moisturizer. It's really only something that I've been gravitating towards in cold weather. They recently reformulated it within the last few years and I actually really like what they've done with the cream. I think they fixed a lot of the elements I didn't like about when I first tried it years ago."

"I really love SkinFix. I have yet to have anybody that I've given a SkinFix product to be disappointed with it. One of my friends her skin was getting super dry, so I gave her a bottle of the SkinFix serum and she loved it. I handed that to her with about three or four other moisturizers and out of all of them that was her favorite. In here we've got ceramide EOP, ceramide NP, ceramide AP, phytosphingosine, cholesterol, then we also have vitamin E, squalane, and aloe."

"This is their strengthening cream, geared towards dry skin, it's 54 bucks with an upgraded formula that now contains more lipids to help with skin barrier and hydration. You need to have a healthy skin barrier if your skin barrier is damaged, you're much more prone to aging and environmental damage than if it's not. It also has a good amount of peptides, ceramides, squalane, rice bran, and rice protein. It's very nice, so if you have dry skin this one's worth a try."
