Barrier Restoring Gel Cream.

"Their triple lipid cream is a favorite of mine for the winter months but they also came out with a lighter more fast absorbing gel consistency for the spring and summer months. This has the same patent pending BL3 lipid complex which contains a patent pending blend of vitamins lipids and peptides that can really help to repair your skin barrier. I find that this formulation is really soothing as well as hydrating without being overpowering and I love that SkinFix came out with a version of this that's heavier for the winter months and then this version for the warmer months."

"This is their barrier restoring gel cream, it's also $54. This one is geared toward oily skin types or acne prone skin types. It contains an updated lipid barrier complex and then also contains several peptides, green tea, squalane, folic acid, no fragrance. Anytime I'm at TJ Maxx or Marshalls I see SkinFix, I'm instantly going to buy it no matter what and I will find a use for it myself or from somebody I know."

"There is a good amount of moisture to this but it actually doesn't feel greasy or overly emollient. There's just a little bit more of that skin softening, a little bit more of that silkiness, a little bit of that my skin feels moisturized kind of feel along with that deep drink of hydration. This one actually has a little bit more occlusivity, so if you do suffer with dehydration this might be the smarter choice, not just because of the barrier protecting ingredients, but also because that little kiss of occlusion helps to tuck all your skincare in, hug in all the hydration, keep it in place, and act as a little bit of a barrier on your skin to prevent dehydration. The mix of ingredients here is quite fascinating because not only do they have their eye on the barrier with five different ceramides. Ceramides are lipids that help to hold the hydration in, right, a really important crucial element if you want that drink of water to stay in your skin. There's some really great calming extracts in here as well."

"I had a sample of the SkinFix Barrier Restoring Gel Cream. I felt like it did a good job to moisturize the skin, but I really didn't feel like it repaired my skin. When I used this on balanced and normal skin and then when my skin needed some TLC, I didn't feel like I received the relief I was expecting, because this is supposed to be very repairing and I didn't get that from this. The gel is very lightweight, and this wouldn't be something that I would purchase, especially a full size. I just didn't really like it."
