Liquid Gold Barrier Cream.

"Stratia Liquid Gold is one of my most beloved skincare products of all time, and it made my skin better for years. Then one day it seemed like it wasn't working anymore and I noticed it was stinging my skin. It turns out the issue is that it contains niacinamide, and I don't do well with high strength niacinamide once it stacks up from using it in multiple products at once. So it's not that the product betrayed me, it's that I have to be careful not to overuse niacinamide, and I think that's the answer to why it seemingly stopped working for me."

"This and my Regella Essence absolutely are my top two products of all time, just one hundred percent. This is one of those products where the more I use it, the more I love it, and that speaks for itself."

"Stratia's Liquid Gold is a forever favorite. I'm now on my last one and hoping it lasts until their sale, but if it doesn't I'll bite the bullet because it's not that expensive, twenty seven dollars for one point seven fluid ounces."

"For moisturizer I have a tie, and one of them is Stratia Liquid Gold. I know this is a little more expensive than most of the products in this video, but to me, as somebody with sensitive, difficult skin, this is so worth it. It's such a restorative and reparative product, I love it so much. The only catches are that you might not like the smell, it's a smell of natural oils that some people are over at this point, and even though it's called a moisturizer, I find it too lightweight for my dry skin on its own, so I use it as the first step in my adapalene sandwich."

"I know I'm such a broken record on Lipid Gold in particular, but it's because I've just never ever found a moisturizer that is as reparative and restorative as Lipid Gold. It is more expensive than a lot of drugstore moisturizers, and yet in my opinion it's worth every last penny."

"This is from Stratia, one of my holy grail products, it's now been renamed from Liquid Gold to Lipid Gold. It's a restorative and reparative lightweight moisturizer that I almost treat more like a serum, I like to use this as the first step in my retinoid sandwich."

"This is a product that continuously proves itself to me time and time again, season after season. It's a product I can use to help restore my skin, and the amount of times it has literally saved my face is a lot. In winter I can use this more like a serum, in summer I can use it more like a moisturizer, it always finds a place in my skincare routine to help better my skin. I love this so much, truly to this day it's one of the best products that I've ever tried."

"Let's do the sandwich, starting with Lipid Gold, my absolute favorite repairing moisturizer. I'll call it a moisturizer, but I treat it more like a heavier serum, a lightweight moisturizer in my mind. It's an absolutely amazing product for strengthening your skin for repair. It does have a naturally unscented smell, not as bad as some unscented products. This right here never irritates my skin, it always helps improve my skin, it's truly such a special product."

"I love this brand so much, not only has it absolutely helped with improving my skin, Liquid Gold is by far my absolute favorite product, one of my absolute favorite moisturizers, my most favorite repairing product. Nothing has ever repaired my skin as well as Liquid Gold. Every single product this brand has ever released has had so much thought put into it, and while not every product is a perfect match for my preferences, this is still my favorite brand."

"This is Stratia Lipid Gold, formerly called Liquid Gold. I haven't been using it as much lately because there are new barrier boosting products I'm testing, but there is nothing else on the market quite like it. Ceramides are easy to find and there's no shortage of niacinamide in skincare, but this is special because it's the full formulation, and it's also a fully fragrance free product. I do think some people might not like the smell, since even a fragrance free product still has a smell, but for me when my barrier is compromised that's a good time to go fragrance free. It's just a product I always know I can rely on, and I won't go without it."

"Lipid Gold, formerly called Liquid Gold, has been one of my favorites for years. I used to think of it more as a serum for my skin type. It has a skin strengthening, ceramide lipid rich formula. The one con I used to have with it on its own is that it looks a little yellow, not because they added dyes but because the skin strengthening ingredients in it are yellow."

"The other product in the egg is Liquid Gold, it has a new name now, Lipid Gold. On their own these are incredible products, together I feel like you really do get the best of both worlds. I'm into the egg, I love the egg."

"This contains sea buckthorn, a wonderful restoring oil, rosehip oil, niacinamide, and ceramides in that golden ratio. It all comes together to make truly an incredible repairing product no matter how wrecked my moisture barrier is, and I have wrecked it a few times. This always calms it, always speeds up that process of repair. It is a phenomenal product from a small science focused brand."

"I ended up swapping out of the Stratia Liquid Gold which by the way is gorgeous. I love it, it's so so good."

"I absolutely love the Stratia Liquid Gold. This has been a favorite of mine for years, it was one of the first products I spoke about here on the channel when I set it up 5 years ago, still going strong. I love this product. A lot of brands will say that niacinamide will boost the barrier function of the skin and help heal the skin, but you need a lot of other ingredients to achieve that, and Stratia have done the work for us. This product has that 5% niacinamide, which is perfection, but it's also got all those lipids, those ceramides, those other barrier-boosting ingredients. If your skin is going through it at the moment, maybe you're coming out of winter here in the northern hemisphere and your skin might be dry and sensitive and you want to get it in tiptop health for the summer, this product is a must-have. It is amazing. It feels beautiful on the skin, uses that niacinamide responsibly alongside some other amazing ingredients, and it's super affordable. Use it as your moisturizer. This is so hydrating, most of us can do without having a moisturizer after. Use this as like a barrier-boosting niacinamide serum and a moisturizer all-in-one. An absolute favorite of mine."

"The liquid gold, it's just that it's liquid gold in a bottle. It hydrates, it nourishes, it calms. It comes in a great pump, it looks beautiful, it's ticking every single box. And I think if you're looking for extra hydration and calming and soothing at the same time, this is a really great moisturizer. I'd say it's kind of a moisturizer serum hybrid. It's not as thick as some moisturizers, but it definitely has a thickness that maybe doesn't align with serum, so it's somewhere in between. Definitely the standout of their collection."

"This is by Stratia, it's their Liquid Gold. I'm gonna put this on, it's a barrier repair cream. It just happens to have some of my favorite soothing ingredients like camellia sinensis in it as well. There is niacinamide, and I suspect my skin can handle this now, and I'm right. I'm not feeling any sting or tingle from it, so that's good."

"I think that people with really sensitive skin could use this product. It has nice oils in it, it has niacinamide in it so you're actually even getting a brightening effect to your skin, but people don't realize that niacinamide does so much more and it actually helps to strengthen your skin barrier as well. So this is just a really nice product. It's got this beautiful gold tone to it too, so obviously they call it Liquid Gold, and I think you should definitely pay attention to this and give it a try if you are experiencing some type of sensitivity."

"Stratia Liquid Gold, this retails for $28, and this is really great if your skin is a little bit on the drier side. This is the product that actually helped me heal my skin barrier back in 2018, and I really do stand by this product."

"I'm still using this step at nighttime since it still is a bit cooler at night, and I want to keep my skin moisturized, nourished, but also keep my barrier nice and strong. I have been doing some version of this barrier care step in my routine for eight years. It's been a really long time using Stratia Liquid Gold, but it really is my ride or die for my skin barrier. I love this product, and I especially like to incorporate it into my routines right alongside the exfoliation from the AHA and BHA or my retinoids."

"I really like the amount of moisture that it brings to my skin. I know in January, I was really starting to get some peeling skin on my chin because I was getting that triangle of doom. This area just tends to get very dry. And so, Liquid Gold really does help to repair that skin when it's in that peeling state as well. Right now it's a maintenance product for me and it just feels really good, but it can also come to the rescue if your skin needs a little extra TLC, especially with barrier care."

"It worked perfectly. It's a bonus too that it's a really gentle, simple product with very minimal ingredients. My skin was feeling a little bit more sensitive, so this really helped."

"I'm doing one pump of Stratia Liquid Gold and then three drops of the Fortify Facial Oil mixed together for all that good barrier support."

"Stratia Liquid Gold is all about those three ingredients, ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids, plus there's 4% of niacinamide. This is what keeps my skin barrier strong and keeping my skin barrier strong really helps to resist dehydration. The oil itself is very moisturizing and protective but the actual qualities, the profile of these oils are beneficial for the skin barrier as well and that's what keeps my skin really strong, resists the dehydration, keeps it really nice and moisturized."

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

"I do about a pump of Liquid Gold"

"It's Stratia Liquid Gold time. You know, I love this stuff. I use it every single routine."

"I'm going to rate it with a heart eyes emoji because how many of these have I emptied since 2018? This has never been out of my skincare routine. And let me quickly tell you, I tried this time, this empty, I tried to not buy it. I tried to use something else in its place and I was like, I'm irresponsible, I'm gonna save money, I don't need to buy it right now. Yeah, no, it only lasted about three days and I put my order in."

"Stratia Liquid Gold, this is something I've been using for so many years I swear by this product."

"I do about two pumps of lipid gold I normally would just do one but lately this winter I've been really into two pumps"

"Stratia Liquid Gold, you know I've been using this since 2018. There's not much I can say, it's definitely an 11 out of 10. I recommend it."

"I really landed on Stratia Liquid Gold. They're using ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids. They've also included other helpful ingredients like 4% niacinamide as well as sea buckthorn which can be really moisturizing and very strengthening for the skin. I personally like to use this like a serum or an emulsion in my skincare routine. I top it off with another moisturizer because it's not enough to protect my particular skin type, it's too light, but I use it like a treatment step or a serum in my skincare routine to keep my barrier strong and then I put another moisturizer on top. So it's pretty flexible on how you use it, but it is really like it's just the special Goldilocks formula that really helped me heal my skin and I'm very passionate about this product."

"Stratia Liquid Gold is a barrier cream that at a cellular level makes a difference between just clear skin and healthy luminous skin. I think these types of ingredients and these types of products can actually be that difference between just merely clear skin, which is already quite an achievement, and really healthy youthful dewy glowy skin."

"I tend to use this as like a serum or sometimes as an emulsion type of step in my skincare routine. The reason I love this and I have been using this, I legitimately have not stopped using this since 2018, no joke. I have not stopped using this, it's so so good. I originally started using it when my barrier was damaged and it really helped my skin heal up. I keep it in my routine to keep my barrier strong. Absolutely ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids, my skin thrives on them. Once I really figured that out about my skin, about really focusing in on my skin barrier, everything just really became so much easier for me in skincare. So I really like to have that foundation of ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids in any product in my routine. This is a great one, but it also has some other great ingredients in here that are fantastic for well aging, a really heavy focus on antioxidancy. Buckthorn in here really brings the beautiful golden color but also it brings that antioxidant protection and also has some capabilities for helping with the complexion and brightening it up just a little bit. This also contains four percent of niacinamide, so talking about brightening benefits but it's also the percentage that's great for stimulating collagen production on the skin. It's also the percentage that's great for supporting your skin's moisture barrier."

"Stratia Liquid Gold, I have been loving this product since 2018 and not only do I know that the first time I used it was 2018 I can remember exactly the month it was October of 2018. I remember exactly when I ordered it, when I bought it, when I first tried it. That product is so dear to my heart. They recently changed the name, I think it was just last year, and I actually like that it's called Lipid Gold. I think that describes the product a little bit better. I bought this when my moisture barrier was super duper messed up, it was incredibly damaged. I had used way too many actives, I had thrown way too much new stuff at my skin, I was pushing my skin way too hard and my skin was like enough. My barrier was so so so damaged, my skin was so irritated, it was so red, it was so inflamed, I was getting the worst breakouts, and my skin just looked terrible. It felt worse than it looked but it looked really bad."

"This is a formula that's really emollient, it's got some great moisture in it and it really does promote healing and barrier strengthening and it just feels like that's what my skin needs right now."

"The formula has not changed at all, it's still the same formula that you know and love, but the updated name really helps us to understand what it's doing for our skin, which is delivering so many beautiful lipids, ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids right into our skin to really help fortify that moisture barrier. I do always talk about Liquid Gold in the context of how it can help to strengthen or heal a weak or damaged moisture barrier. When you do have eczema-prone skin, you are probably more prone to a weak moisture barrier, and I have personally made that link between the times where my barrier is feeling more weak where my flareups are more likely to happen. So part of my strategy to managing my eczema skin and helping to prevent flareups is keeping that moisture barrier really strong. For me personally, as we're going into the colder, drier temperatures, I need to be on the lookout because those fluctuations and that dry, cold air really do test my moisture barrier, really do increase that transepidermal water loss. When my skin is dehydrated, when it is dry, when that barrier is not helping to keep all of that hydration into my skin, I am more prone to having flareups. The majority of my flareups do happen in the wintertime, so I do like to make sure that I'm building in those beautiful lipids again, ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids, to keep my barrier strong."

"I really love this product so much. So as long time viewers know, what I like to do is use one pump of this and this is ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids, there's four percent of niacinamide in here, sea buckthorn. That's where you get that really beautiful golden color is the sea buckthorn in here, which is a fantastic antioxidant for your skin. It's all about protecting your skin, strengthening your skin, and of course helping with some well aging too. At night time it's really not negotiable for me."

"Stratia Liquid Gold has got to be the first one that I mentioned because that is actually truly the product that I used in 2018. I have been using it since 2018 when I first ordered it when my barrier was like non-existent and damaged. This is the product that helped me through. It is a really good mix of barrier strengthening and healing ingredients. The ceramides, the cholesterol, the fatty acids, we also have some niacinamide in here, we have panthenol, we have squalane, we have sea buckthorn. There's a lot of really great emollient ingredients in here that offer a lot of that comforting moisture and nourishment to the skin. You might be feeling very dry and I was, and so that really helped to ease that pain from moving my face and my skin, but it really did help to strengthen my moisture barrier as well. This is like a serum lotion hybrid product. You can use it a couple of different ways. If your barrier is damaged though, I would highly suggest you use this as a serum not as a lotion or a moisturizer. You need something more occlusive on top of this because your barrier is not working the way it's supposed to. You need something to act as a temporary barrier."

"This is Stradia Liquid Gold and I'm going to be combining that with the Ordinary Rose Hip Oil. Now, longtime viewers know I've been using this product from Stradia since 2018. It was really what got me so passionate about barrier care, about ceramides, about cholesterol, about fatty acids. Why this product works so well? It is the combination of the ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids, the three essential lipids that make up your skin barrier that are depleted when your skin barrier is weak or damaged or even slightly depleted when your skin is kind of reactive. You know, it healed my broken barrier, but I've also kept it in my skincare routine because I never want to go back because my skin is sensitive and can lean towards being reactive. It's very, very helpful in those situations, but I got to be real with you, it's a little bit of a safety blanket for me as well."

"I mix Stratia Liquid Gold with rose hip oil in the morning, even in summer, and it really works for me. The barrier care aspect of the Liquid Gold, with its ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids, really helps strengthen my skin when I am prone to dehydration. I am not recommending everybody use extra creams and oils in the morning, it is just what works for me."

"Stratia Liquid Gold is the product that healed my skin barrier back in 2018, the product that taught her what ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids are all about, the one she's trusted for eight years. It's built around the specific ratio that research supports for genuine barrier repair, ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids together in proportions that mirror what your skin actually needs. It's the backbone of her barrier repair routine and has been for eight years. It's a hybrid product that can be used as a serum or lotion, but if your skin barrier is damaged, you need to use it as a serum, not as a moisturizer, since it does not replace the moisturizer step."

"I've been using this since 2018, when I had damaged my skin barrier and was struggling to heal it. This is the product that not only healed my skin barrier but really helped me learn about the skin barrier, the ceramides, the cholesterol, and the fatty acids, it opened up my mind and my education toward skin barrier health and healing. When you're a skin influencer testing a lot of products, not all of them are good, so sometimes I run into mild irritation from products I'm testing for content, and this is a safety blanket but also a skin rescuer. I love having this in my routine constantly, it is really a foundational part of my routine."

"Next up, Stratia Liquid Gold. One pump mixed with a couple drops of the Drunk Elephant Marula Oil. I've built some version of this barrier care step into my nighttime routine since 2018. Not only does this combination keep my skin barrier strong, gets me through any irritation that I might be experiencing, helps my combination skin, whether the seasonal transitions, but it also is great for keeping my skin strong when using more aggressive ingredients like the retinol. So Stratia Liquid Gold provides those essential ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acid content that keeps your barrier strong and the fatty acid profile of the additional marula oil helps to add to that barrier strengthening. And this is a step that makes me using retinoids consistently sustainable. I don't wait for my barrier to show signs of weakness or feeling compromised. I work on having a consistently strong barrier so that I can consistently use my actives so that I can get compounding results for my well-aging goals."

"I love this product, it's amazing. I use it at night to moisturize my skin. It's great for hydrating skin, repairing the skin barrier, healing skin, protecting it, brightening it. It's got niacinamide, sea buckthorn oil which is a great brightening ingredient, rose hip oil, another amazing oil, squalane, cranberry seed oil which is an amazing antioxidant, vitamin E, as well as ceramides. It is yellow so when you put it on you'll notice it is bright bright yellow from the sea buckthorn in there. If you haven't tried anything with sea buckthorn in it you're missing out, it's a wonderful ingredient and really great for your skin. I can't get enough of it. It has a permanent spot on my countertop, which not a lot of products can say that."

"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 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 dimethylcone, cetyl alcohol, squalane, and vitamin E. So pretty friendly for the most part depending on what you're sensitive to."

"Sometimes in the winter when everything starts to get really dry, I'll add in one more layer of the Stratia Skin Liquid Gold. My skin will take more layers so I'm good with it. And if it's even drier after all that, I'll put a face oil on over it."

"I love this stuff. A lot of times I use this in conjunction at the end of my evening routine with the CeraVe and with the Klairs and all three together super hydrating and leaves my skin feeling soft and still soft the next day even in the morning when I go to wash it off it still feels nice and hydrated."

"It's a really nice thick moisturizer and Stratia is an absolutely wonderful brand. So this is a nice way to get it on sale."

"The Stratia Liquid Gold, this stuff is great. I don't even remember how many times I've purchased it. This is four ounces, it's a gigantic tube, amazing. I love it. I've recommended this to so many people throughout the years and it's really a winner."

"My favorite moisturizer for dry skin is the Stratia Liquid Gold. They also came with an eye cream version which I'm playing with right now and it's amazing."
