Review (5/5): Soothing & Skin Feels Less Sensitive, Hydrates & Improves Skin Texture, Free Of Fragrance/Alcohol
Skin & Lab Barrierderm Milky Serum Milk Ceramide Complex is a milky serum free of fragrance and alcohol that comes in an easy to use dropper bottle. Ceramides can make skin healthier by strengthening the skin barrier, preventing moisture loss and protecting against environmental damage. Also, ceramides work better combined with certain types of ingredients that are contained in this serum, such as cholesterol, glycerin, squalane (rich in fatty acids) and more.
This serum feels wonderful on my dry, sensitive and mature (55+) skin that needs a lot of hydration and is aggravated easily by chemicals fragrance, natural fragrancing essential oils and extracts, drying alcohol, aggressive products, the environment and so on. I’ve been using this ceramide serum after cleansing and follow with my face cream, but it also layers well with my favorite staples, such as a Vitamin C and hyaluronic acid serum (followed by my moisturizer).
I like that this ceramide serum doesn’t appear to have any harsh ingredients, and it feels soothing and gentle to my skin. I’ve used it about a week so far and it adds noticeable hydration that isn't heavy, greasy or sticky, and my normally sensitive skin is calm and comfortable. Also, my skin texture feels soft and seems more elastic. I can’t judge the full benefits yet as that can take many weeks or months, but I’m pleased so far and will keep using this serum. Love it. 5 stars.
