TasTheStuff review for Barrier+ Triple Lipid-Peptide Cream

As someone who majored in a health-related field, I scrutinize most moisturizers before purchasing them, as I have acne-prone, oily combination skin. Over the last decade, I’ve tried and tested many moisturizers and have settled on a few favorites that I continue to repurchase. Testing a new moisturizer is nothing new to me, which is why I was thankful to receive the Skinfix Barrier+ Triple Lipid-Peptide Cream to try. I’m in my mid to late twenties, so it’s crucial for me to take care of my skin. The Skinfix Barrier+ Triple Lipid-Peptide Cream is a peptide cream that is is formulated with four main actives, patented B-L3 complex (for restoring lipids), nutripeptides (for supporting skin barrier), seaweed sodium hyaluronate (for deep hydration), and lily root extract blend (to lock in hydration) . Here are some reasons why I liked this cream: 💙 This is an intensely moisturizing cream. From the first pump, I could see how thick and rich it was. Although I prefer this type of cream in the fall and winter, as it can be too heavy for the summer. I have oily skin, and this feels a bit much on my pores during the warmer months. However, it does an excellent job of not making me look greasy, despite its richness. It dries down to a semi-matte finish. Also note that one pump is MORE than enough. 💙 This cream is free of icky ingredients, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Some of the standout skincare goodies include: - Glycerin (for hydration) - Shea Butter (an emollient that smooths the skin) - Jojoba Oil (an emollient) - Squalene (an antioxidant that helps protect the skin) - Tocopherol (a great antioxidant to have in skincare) - Gluconolactone (an exfoliant that helps lift off dead skin cells) - Ceramides (mimics the skin’s natural moisturizing factor) 💙 I love the type of applicator on this. It’s hygienic and keeps the formula stable and clean as it’s not exposed to outside air. If you’re someone with a bit of OCD like me, this moisturizer is great; the product design is engineered to help your products stay clean and last longer. The only con for me was the scent. While a fragrance-free option is great for many, I didn’t personally like the natural scent of this one. I can’t quite pinpoint what it smells like, but it’s a bit dank, almost as if something is slightly fermented. It’s not a bad smell, but it’s not one I prefer in my skincare products. I thought the smell would go away, but I’m still able to detect the scent after a few hours. For this, I had to deduct one star. Overall, I give this a 4/5. It’s a nice cream to use during the colder seasons and is suitable for those looking to repair their skin barrier, especially if you have mature skin.
