After over-exfoliating and breaking my skin barrier, my skin became dehydrated, irritated, and full of acne. These three products helped repair and soothe my skin.

First, make sure your skin is properly hydrated — it's essential for healthy skin!

Krave Great Barrier Relief

Contains ceramides, niacinamide, and tamanu oil. This rich cream calms irritation, repairs the barrier, and prevents new breakouts. Heavy but effective, I use it at night for soft skin. It can double as a spot treatment or serum.

Stratia Liquid Gold

Made with ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids, and sea buckthorn oil. A lightweight cream-serum that strengthens and nourishes skin without feeling greasy. Ideal for dry or dehydrated skin and perfect for nighttime use.

MIAN Retinol Neon Serum

Features vitamin A with oatmeal and aloe vera. Gentle yet powerful, it boosts cell turnover, clears pores, fades scars, and calms skin. Lightweight and hydrating, great for retinol beginners when used sparingly.

These products truly helped me rebuild my skin's health and confidence—finding the right care makes all the difference!
