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."

"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 like my skin feels moisturized kind of feel along with that deep drink of hydration. This one actually has a little bit more occlusivity, so I think 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 the dehydration."

"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 was using this, I used it when my skin was balanced and normal and then when my skin needed some TLC, and I didn't feel like I received the relief like I was expecting. This has ceramides in it and it's supposed to be very repairing, and I didn't get that from this. The gel is very lightweight. This wouldn't be something that I would purchase, especially a full size. If I had to pick between this and another option, I would go with the other one because this one is very satisfying and you do get that relief and your skin is repaired and moisturized. I just didn't really like it."

"The SkinFix Barrier Restoring Gel Cream is one of my moisturizer picks for oily skin. SkinFix as a brand makes great moisturizers. This is a super lightweight moisturizer, and I would almost consider it more like a hydrator. This has 2% niacinamide, which is going to contribute to that oil control aspect of it, but it also has some really nice nourishing ingredients like squalane and allantoin as well as hyaluronic acid to give that immediate plumping effect. If you like the way gel creams feel on the skin and you're looking for one that fits really seamlessly into your routine and doesn't feel sticky or tacky on the skin, this is a wonderful option."

"This is a new product from Skinfix that has an amazing lightweight consistency but does a really good job at packing a punch for hydration and moisture. I love Skinfix for that reason, all their products are deeply nourishing. This one is a little bit more expensive, so if you want a cheaper or more affordable product I would recommend the Rovectin moisturizer, but I have been using this one really regularly and I also enjoy using it overnight during the summertime."

"This is another new product and it has a heavier cream-based option that now comes in a lighter weight form, and I'm really loving this gel option. The cream version I've tried to use on and off, and it's definitely heavy on the skin and very occlusive, so I wouldn't choose it if you have very oily skin. But this new gel form is much lighter on the skin while still being formulated to really accomplish that barrier repair. It absorbs in so much more quickly than the cream version and you still get that same hydrating feel. This product claims to repair your barrier after just one hour and give you hydration up to 72 hours. It has saccharide isomerate which supports the skin barrier, niacinamide which helps visibly even the skin tone and absorb excess oil, a heptapeptide blend which helps nourish the skin microbiome, and zinc PCA which is great for oily skin because it helps control excess sebum production and can calm redness and irritation. I really love this product specifically for acne-prone skin, if you have fungal acne or malassezia folliculitis, if you have a damaged skin barrier. I really love this for nighttime use on nights that you take off from using a retinoid to really help reset the skin barrier or strengthen it. If you struggle with maintaining a healthy skin barrier while dealing with skin issues like acne or textured skin, or if you have a routine with a lot of skincare actives in it, this can definitely be worth the money for its unique ingredients and repairing properties."

"I also love this one for really really dry skin now my facial moisturizer would be the SkinFix Barrier+ Restoring Gel Cream this year so I'm a lipid guy normally now when it gets a little bit colder I'm going to be going into their dark blue one the one that's a little bit heavier but probably most reused this year or I know most reused this year because I purchase it the most often is actually the SkinFix Barrier+ Restoring Gel Cream. Now it just is a little bit less heavy but still the same like their textures are incredible on their moisturizers just absolutely phenomenal. I've been kind of having a little bit less thicker creams lately and I love it."

"I don't like skin barrier restoring creams that are thick, medicinal, clinical feeling, but this is a gel cream that does all the good things for your barrier with all those really nice skin-soothing, restoring ingredients without being thick and heavy. It's great for my combination skin. It has niacinamide and zinc PCA which are great if you're prone to breakouts or very oily, green tea for antioxidants, and squalene - so it's nicely moisturizing without being greasy."
