What the gurus are saying

The experts who tried it praise the lightweight lotion texture and how it delivers visible glow, especially for those with dry or dehydrated skin. The formula includes ceramides, squalane, and antioxidant-rich oils like rosehip and cranberry seed, making it generally gentle for acne-prone skin too. One note: the bottle's printed label can transfer onto skin, so wiping it down first may help, though that packaging quirk hasn't stopped the gurus from reaching for it regularly.

"The Strate Lipid Gold is 27 bucks. I just finished up my last tube last night. So, I love this stuff. It's fragrance free. It's got a lotion texture. It's got a nice lotion texture to it. And it's fragrance-free and it is kind of yellow due to the seabuckthorn oil in here. So it's got ceramides, rose hip oil, cranberry seed oil, which is a super good antioxidant, green tea. I'd say this is great for dry, normal and dehydrated skin. And for acne prone skin, we have dimethicone, cetyl alcohol, squalane, and vitamin E. So pretty friendly for the most part depending on what you're sensitive to."

"Strate Lipid Gold, I wiped off all the print on my bottle because it started coming off and then I was getting like print on my face, so I just used a towel and rubbed it rigorously and most of it came off. So now I don't have that issue. It sucks for the packaging but that's not going to stop me from using it. I love that glow."
