"I'm using the [Stratia] Lipid Gold Eye Cream, one of the small businesses I love to highlight. [...] I am so happy they fixed the pump on this, it is so much better. I love companies that listen to feedback."

"I'm using the [Stratia] Lipid Gold Eye Cream, one of the small businesses I love to highlight. [...] I am so happy they fixed the pump on this, it is so much better. I love companies that listen to feedback."

Cool Weather Skincare Favorites (with a twist!)

"Then one day I tried it on an especially frustrating dry patch and that is where this product shined, it feels even more rich and nourishing than Liquid Gold. [...] Now that I've figured out to do one single pump around my eye area and spread the rest on my dry patches, I actually like it as an eye cream too. [...] I love it so much that I'm running low and already placed another order."

Products I'm QUITTING (& their replacements!)

"But I saw [...] people online saying they weren't loving it as an eye cream either, and instead were using it as a spot treatment for dry patches, so I tried that, and oh my gosh, this is the best spot treatment for dry patches. [...] It's a very unique case where I do love this product, just not as intended. [...] I don't like it as an eye cream, but eye cream is an optional step in the first place."

NEW Skincare: Stratia & Beauty of Joseon Come THROUGH (& so much more!)

"I'm always iffy on [...] eye creams, but talk about an eye cream that is perfect for me, this is focused on repair with sea buckthorn, ceramides, and now also peptides, plus algae and lipids. It's like it's already got everything I want right there in one product. I [...] like the change of the name from Liquid Gold to Lipid Gold because that emphasizes the lipid content. Yet again Stratia knocked it out of the park, I'm sorry in advance if this ends up becoming another favorite on this channel."

"It is good. Everything Stratia do is good. Another brand that is very US-centric, that's all. It's really difficult to get here in the UK, which is a shame. It might change, but it's hard to get hold of. That is my only criticism when it comes to Stratia. I do love the brand."

"My under eye area gets quite dry and dehydrated in the winter. [...] I took a selfie [...] early in December and [...] I was smiling and I could see all the lines underneath my eyes, and I realized it's because I'm so dry. I just need a little extra moisture in that area. It's the dehydration and dryness lines that are just making it look a lot worse than it truly is. It feels very soothing."

"I really love the performance of this. [...] It helped strengthen that delicate skin under my eye, which I've been noticing more over the last couple of years is a little bit more prone to dryness and some peely skin, so this really helps with that. But I think it also helps with darkness under the eyes as well."

"The eye cream has some petrolatum added into it which is just enough to really help hug in all of that moisture and emolliency and help to protect the eye area from moisture loss. The skin around your eye is a lot thinner, it's a little bit more delicate, and that's why it's more prone to moisture loss or hydration loss and more prone to the breakdown of collagen. I think it was a really smart move to add that into the eye cream formula."

Barrier Care for Cold Weather Skincare Routine

"This is the [Stratia] Lipid Gold Eye Cream, a new release. [...] I've just gone through a few applications so far and I'm really liking it. [...] The texture [...] is ever so slightly thicker than the Lipid Gold serum lotion and it's actually a little bit more occlusive. It's a nice choice for this time of year. [...] This is loaded with ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids. There's some really nice peptides in here that help with brightening the under eye area or the top lid area."

The Best Skincare of 2023! 🎉

"I love this product there's no vitamin C in it, it's very gentle. My sensitive skin handles this perfectly with no problems whatsoever. [...] [Stratia] Lipid Gold Eye Cream [...] takes that original Lipid Gold formulation and tweaks it for an eye cream format. [...] We have that same base of sea buckthorn, we also have the ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids, but this one does not use the 4% of niacinamide."

Empty Skincare and What I Replaced Them With!

"[Stratia] is barrier restorative, but it's almost like too rich. There's some oil content. It's almost a little too rich for what [...] feels good. [...] There is an oil content to it that just makes it a little bit richer. And if your skin is a little bit oily, it might even feel a little bit oily, greasy for you."

"It's kind of the sister product to its big brother Lipid Gold. In here we've got rose hip oil, we've got sea buckthorn oil, we've got ceramides, we've got peptides, and we also have an algae extract. Algae is great for protecting skin and works great as an antioxidant, so some really nice ingredients in here worth checking out."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Urea

Urea both holds water in the skin and gently loosens dead surface cells. At higher strengths it has good evidence for very dry or thickened skin.

Ceramides

Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
