Real Barrier - august.serenade review for Extreme Cream

🔻 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗟𝗢𝗚𝗨𝗘 I bought this cream when I saw review that this cream is perfect for someone who has eczema and dry sensitive skin, emm.. that perfectly described my skin, I’m all that. I’m sold! I started using this when my inflammation got worst and I want to know if this can reduce the inflammation, this review will be based on this particular aspect. 🔻𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗗𝗨𝗖𝗧 ▪️ Specifically formulated for very dry & sensitive skin types including eczema, but with a twist: it features HA and patented dual ceramides in addition to MLE giving the best hydration & comfort to compromised skin barrier. ▪️ Atopalm MLE, HA, patented dual ceramics, squalene, mistletoe fruit extract, phytosterols, vitamin E, allantoin, madecassoside. Also contains Lavender, orange & vetiver root oils to supply a mood-enhancing aroma. ▪️Jar, twist cap, 50grm, has a protection lid inside with spatula. I bought it RM60 (USD14). ▪️ I use this both in my AM and PM routine everyday during my healing process. Basically, here is my routine in this particular order: - toner pad (Missha Artemisia) / Manyo Factory - serum (Iunik Propolis) - essence (Abib Heartleaf) - sheet mask (Beauty of Joseon) - moisturiser (Atopalm) {Toner pad changed to Manyo Factory (Bifida Biome Ampoule Toner) on the 4th day of this routine}. I decided to apply the Iunik serum first since the Abib essence is actually more viscous than the Iunik serum. ▪️ I scoop 4-5 times to cover my forehead, both cheeks and whole neck area (there was an eczema reaction on my neck during this healing process as well). 🔻 𝗠𝗬 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘 ▪️A cream with very thick consistency and this is the thickest cream that I have so far. The scent, the nearest description would be it smells ‘balmy’ or ‘traditional Chinese medicine’. In my place, we have this Chinese shops that sells ginseng/ herbal medicine, we called them sinseh/ singsang, it’s like when you enter their shop and this is the smell that first greet you, you either like it or hate it. Since it is milder here, I kinda like it, it’s soothing to me. ▪️I was so surprised to feel the cream on my skin! Despite the thicker texture, I like blending it taking my time, definitely need more effort to work with it. The finish, I can feel there is a thin layer on my skin that locks all the goodness inside. There is shine but not oily for my dry skin and no greasiness either. My skin looks supple and moisturise. The scent still lingers for a while and I love that I can sniff it after application. ▪️I have inflammation on my skin and there was no tingling or stinging sensation, I was amazed and fall in love with it immediately. On my third day of using it, I noticed my inflammation is reducing and healing. 🔹𝙎𝙤.. In summary, my questions that I had before starting using this cream are answered~ ➥ Any tingling or stinging sensation? HELL NO! ➥ Is it hydrating enough? HELL YES! ➥ Does it reduce my inflammation? HELL DOUBLE YES! You heard the HG bells.
