Stratia Liquid Gold with Ceramides, Cholesterol and Fatty Acids FULL SIZE 60ml

Product Information

A final benefit is niacinamide’s ability to prevent and reduce acne due to its antimicrobial and sebostatic effects, meaning it can help protect against the bacteria that cause acne while also helping to reduce oil production. The formula of Liquid Gold allows to restore this barrier thanks to its “magic” trio of ingredients: ceramides + cholesterol + fatty acids, the three main ingredients of the moisture barrier of our skin. rc-container-wrapper .rc-template__legacy-radio .rc-radio.rc-option__subsave { padding-bottom: .5rem; }

I’m almost 6 months into the treatment and I’m in the ” tough ” part of the treatment ( I think, but there might still be a long way to go! Sheena commented, “I found this moisturizer through TikTok. I was excited until I realized I had fallen for a marketing gig. It is a great moisturizer, but how it is advertised is unreal. This moisturizer is very uncooperative with my makeup. For now, I am just utilizing it as a night cream.” Good Cera Super Ceramide Cream So far we were writing about ceramides in plural. It's because there are lots of different ceramides, a 2014article writes that currently 12 base classes of ceramides are known with over 340 specific species.Chemically speaking, ceramides are the connection of a fatty acid and a sphingoid base and both parts can have different variations that result in the different types of ceramides. Parabens have been linked to reproductive, immunological, neurological and skin irritation problems. Parabens penetrate the skin and hang around in our bodies. As preservatives, parabens keep the bacteria out of the products, but keep in mind there are clean alternatives. I prefer mandelic acid to harsher ingredients like glycolic acid. Plus, lactic acid always has a distinct smell that I don’t like.What it’s supposed to do: Liquid Gold is a moisture barrier repair moisturizer/emulsion. (For more info on what a moisture barrier is, see Skin & Tonics excellent moisture barrier post linked in the sources.) Liquid Gold takes your thinned out, red, overexfoliated, stinging, weakened skin and makes it supple, bouncy, strong, and able to tolerate some serious heavy-lifting from acids and actives. It accomplishes all this with the magic of CERAMIDES oooh ahhhh Elizabeth wrote, “I am 42 and have patchy and rough skin. My daughter got this moisturizer for me; it has been my favorite since then. Hydration is a primary feature; it also acts as an anti-aging solution and fades away the appearance of wrinkles and crow’s feet. I am satisfied with the product.” e.l.f Pure Skin Moisturizer This really is everything I look for in a moisturiser. It has Ceramides, Cholesterol and Fatty Acids, Niacinamide, Panthenol, Glycerin, Squalane – all important ingredients to support a strong, resilient moisture barrier. All these amazing ingredients are combined into one lightweight but hydrating cream. Reed expects sales to accelerate and continue to double over the next few years as she ramps up social media marketing, and plans to finally enter retail “in a strategic way.” I just love it as a daily moisturizer. Plus, the cool thing about carrier peptides is that they should be gentle enough to be layered over other actives like glycolic acid or lactic acid.

A year and a half later, I don’t use acids, Vitamin C, or retinol anymore (“too young,” she said of my skin!). It’s just hydration serums, oils, and barrier serums — and my skin is more resilient and comfortable to be in. On my best days, my skin is ridiculously unreal, in the “let me misspell everything” / “take a look at my no-makeup face!” way. Liquid Gold has 4% niacinamide, which is fantastic for helping maintain your skin’s barrier function, so it can trap moisture in better, and keep irritants out. It’s also had a bunch of other skin benefits too in clinical trials, like decreasing wrinkling, fading hyperpigmentation, reducing appearance of pores and decreasing skincare development.And, like the overly confident doofus I was (because skin care = self-care, right?), I powered through the stinging. Six months later, I got bangs to cover the worst of it. Until the worst of it wouldn’t heal. Zara wrote, “I deal with dehydrated skin; this moisturizer is my savior. First of all, its cute pump bottle stole my heart, and then as soon as the moisturizer touched my skin, it felt like my skin drank water. It smoothly glided onto my skin and improved my skin in just a week. The plump glow and radiance were the cherry on top. It is my new go-to moisturizer.” Keenoniks Moisturizer Face Cream I like that this has panthenol (skin calming), and Glycerin (Humectant / mosituriser) as well as squalane (also in the Krave Oat So Simple Cream), and Green Tea (antioxidant). 3 types of ceramides as well, for extra reinforcement.

Interface is vegan and cruelty-free. All Stratia products are free of common irritants like fragrance, alcohol, and essential oils. In addition to efficacy firming carrier peptides, Interface includes other skin-loving ingredients like: Growth factors are found throughout the body; they bind to special receptors on a cell to regulate cell division, creation, and differentiation. In desperation, I made a Hail Mary appointment with Kristina Holey, a holistic esthetician (whom I discovered only because Glossier’s editorial director, Emily Ferber, name-dropped her at an event). Stinging is never a good sign, folks. You want your skin to tingle, a kind of ooo feeling, not a surprise sssttt moment like you threw jalapeños on an open wound. I didn’t realize that when I first ventured into skin care, copying acid and essence routines from r/SkincareAddiction. So when a barrier breakdown, which can take a long time and was triggered by a stress-induced full-body hive breakout, finally happened, I was lost.Those with normal to oily skin may find Liquid Gold is moisturizing enough to be their only moisturizer, while drier skin types may want to follow it with a heavier cream. How to Use Stratia Liquid Gold? I do think those with oily skins should really keep their routine simple when using this, so the skin isn’t overwhelmed with serums + creams This was one of the few products I bought when I learned about the benefits of Ceramides. If you observe, the ingredients of CeramedX moisturizer and Stratia Liquid Gold are a perfect match. Even if you have acne prone skin or oily skin, this moisturizer enriched with encapsulated and targeted peptides shouldn’t break you out at all.

And another 5-star review says, “This stuff is FABULOUS, I just got done with almost a year on accutane and my skin is so dry and so sensitive, and this stuff is like butter, it brightens my skin, and makes it so incredibly soft it’s unbelievable. I hooked two of my best friends and my mom on it, they are equally as pleased.” My skin turned against me. I developed dry patches on my forehead, over my left eyebrow, and on my upper lip that stung whenever I did my routine. But is Stratia Liquid Gold right for you? To help you answer this question, below we’ll give you all the details on the key ingredients in this formula, as well as the research that supports (or doesn’t support) their use in skin care. If you’re looking for a watery, water-bursting moisturiser, then this isn’t it (I would recommend the Krave Oat so Simple HERE) But if you want a moisturiser that has some oil in it, some fatty ingredients BUT isn’t heavy and lets the skin breathe still, I think one may enjoy this. I’m not a fan of oily/fatty creams and the fact that I liked this and found it lightweight enough and used it everyday without feeling like my skin couldn’t breathe, says a lot.The next Ceramide-enriched moisturizer that needs your attention is from the South Korean brand: The Face Shop. It is a mild nourishing face cream that improves my patchy and rough skin. Stratia is a Los Angeles-based indie skincare brand that’s formulated with effectiveness in mind. Alli Reed, the founder, has an excellent blog called The Acid Queenwhere she detailed her DIY adventures before setting up Stratia.
