Damaged Skin Barrier
Here is a list of useful products for restoring the skin barrier. They are all effective and delicate products, which help hydrate and soothe the skin. I think they are suitable for all skin types, but especially for those with sensitive skin.

Acqua Micellare Delicata Aminoacid Complex
PickyMickys
I had already tried some micellar waters from this brand, and I was never completely satisfied. So when I purchased this new product, I didn't expect much. Instead, I changed my mind: this micellar water cleanses the skin and eliminates all traces of makeup in a very delicate but effective way. It is also perfect for removing makeup in the delicate area around the eyes: with just a few gestures, without rubbing too much, you can cleanse the eyes very well, and it does not burn or irritate the skin. It is fragrance free. It also has a pretty affordable price.

Hyaluronic Acid Low pH Cleansing Foam
PickyMickys
It is a facial cleanser with hyaluronic acid, panthenol, ceramides and centella. I've been using it for a few weeks, and I must say that I find it to be a really good product! It cleanses the skin effectively, but at the same time it is extremely delicate, and therefore is perfect for all skin types. After using this cleanser, the skin feels soft. A small amount of product is really enough to cleanse the face well.

TS Calming Tonic Hyaluronic Acid
PickyMickys
This toner contains hyaluronic acid, urea and chamomile extract, and helps hydrate and soothe the skin. It has a particular texture, liquid, but slightly denser than usual toners. I use it in the morning, immediately after cleansing, and I usually apply it to the face with a cotton pad, and then tap lightly to make it absorb completely. I really like this product, as it hydrates the skin, and immediately calms any redness and irritation. It leaves the skin soft, luminous and plump. It is very gentle, and has no fragrance. I think it's a product suitable for all skin types, but it is especially perfect for those with dry and/or sensitive skin. It has a vegan formula. I also think it has a really good price for its quality!

Mineral 89 Daily Skin Booster
PickyMickys
This serum contains only 11 ingredients, of which the key ones are hyaluronic acid and Vichy volcanic water enriched with 15 essential minerals. These two ingredients together help hydrate and plump the skin, and strengthen the skin barrier. Precisely due to the fact that this product has a simple and essential formula, and does not contain parabens, silicones, perfume, dyes and alcohol, makes it suitable for all skin types, especially the most sensitive and delicate ones. In addition to hydrating, strengthening and protecting the skin barrier, this serum effectively protects against aging caused by stress of fatigue. The texture of the product is gel, rather fluid, and is absorbed quickly without leaving residues and without making the face greasy. The product has a very light consistency, and just a few drops of product are enough to hydrate your face well. After a few weeks of constant use, I can say that I notice more hydrated, plumped and luminous skin. The product gives a pleasant sensation of freshness to the face and makes it extremely soft. The serum can be used twice a day, morning and evening; I personally only use it in the morning, after the usual cleansing and after applying toner. After the serum is completely absorbed, I apply moisturizer or sunscreen.

Beta Panthenol Repair Cream
PickyMickys
This vegan cream contains D-panthenol 5% and Beta-sitosterol, and is suitable for all skin types, but especially for those with dry, irritated and/or damaged skin. The cream has a rather rich and dense texture, but once applied to the face it does not feel heavy and/or greasy at all, which also makes it suitable for those with combination or oily skin. The special ingredients of this cream have an intense hydrating and soothing action, which lasts up to 100 hours, and help strengthen and repair the skin barrier. I used this cream for two weeks both in the morning and in the evening, and with its constant use, I noticed that my skin is definitely more hydrated, soothed, soft and luminous, and the redness is less evident. When you apply the cream, you feel a pleasant sensation of freshness, and its light fragrance is also very pleasant. I think it's a really great product suitable for everyone, both for daily use and in case of irritation and damaged skin.

Cicaplast Baume B5+
buba991
This beloved product was reformulated and I heard mixed opinions. Some ingredients were removed, and many new ones were added. Some of the new ingredients are: corn starch, centella leaf extract, lactobacillus, vitamin E and vitreoscilla ferment. Corn starch is added to reduce shine but it is still very dewy on me. The new texture is more silky, but still nourishing as before. I have combo skin and I like this new version. I won't be using this in my AM routine because it is to dewy for me. For nighttime is perfect, especially for colder days. It is effective as previous version.

Real Cica Calming Care Mask
PickyMickys
This face sheet mask contains centella and madecassoside, and has a hydrating and soothing effect. The mask, made with 100% vegetable cellulose fibres, is vegan and biodegradable, and adheres well to the face throughout the application time. The mask is very rich in serum, which is completely absorbed, leaving the skin soft, luminous, and deeply hydrated and soothed, and not at all greasy. After using it, I noticed that the imperfections, redness and dark spots were decidedly less evident. I think this product is suitable for all skin types.
