Hit me with your best barrier repairing products without any exfoliating acids! I’ve been using the cocokind barrier repair serum but was bummed to find out it has lactic acid in it. I have super sensitive skin and want to steer clear of anything with exfoliation effects for daily use!

Best barrier repairing products?

I was wondering if this was too many serums after cleansing? I rotate between vitaminc c in the am and retinol in the pm. I want to have them all penetrate and interact well. Should I cut any out or rearrange the order of application? I struggle with sensitive skin so mainly focus on repair and hydration. I follow them with moisturizer and spf (am)

Snail mucin 
Ceramide serum
Vit c/retinol
Hyularonic acid

Too many serums?

I know sandwiching retionol between two layers of moisturize is great when introducing it to your skin, especially if you have sensitive skin. Does this apply to introducing vitamin c or an acid as well? What is the best way to layer when you’re new to an acid or vitamin c (not at the same time)?

I’m 25 and I’ve always had darker under eyes due to thin and pale skin. Recently tho my under eyes have also become puffy and my smile lines much more defined. I use an under eye gel but I was wonder what other skin care techniques/recommendations you guys have to help with puffy under eyes. I also get plenty of sleep! SOS

I’m wondering if my skin care routine is well rounded or if I’m doing too much? I have sensitive skin and am trying to keep a healthy skin barrier while slowly incorporating actives. This is my pm rountine, my am is the same plus SPF and  without the retinol. Going to incorporate vitamin c in a month or so after my skin adjusts to my retinol. Any suggestions or advice welcome!

Overly extensive routine?

Immediately irritated my skin. After working out, I broke out in a rash on my face and it took a few days for the irritation bumps to go away.

Made my eczema flare up along with irritating my skin and giving me a rash.

Mositurizing and smooth finish, applies nicely without a white cast

Nothing so far! Have been using about a month now.

Has completely helped repair my skin barrier and bring it back to its former teenage glory! I also like to use it after retinol to help my sensitive skin.

Inaccessibilty. Not carried by many retailers other than target and the brand itself. Target doesn’t have it in many stores and does not ship the item in my area. 

The sunscreen takes awhile to soak in and can be kind of tacky&#47;greasy for a bit. Once its soaked in though, it doesn’t feel heavy and leaves skin soft.

Soft texture that rubs in well. No white cast, but I am very pale so keep that in mind. Does not dry my skin out or irritate it. I tend to have a hard time finding suncreens that don’t irritate my sensitive skin but so far my skin has been loving this.
