NIOD - allaboutskin review for Modulating Glucosides

A lightweight soothing emulsion for compromised skin. With glucosides that modulate inflammation pathways, a ceramide complex to restore the skin barrier, plus multiple other active ingredients to calm signs of irritation, inflammation and sensitivity. What stood out to me the most was it's barrier repair ability and how well and quickly it accomplishes that. It goes beyond the traditional barrier repair product, it has so many other benefits and active ingredients that you wouldn't find normally. It doubles as an antioxidant rich serum, a potent anti-inflammatory and has all the skin identical ingredients you need. It's just a step up, kind of like a long term solution rather than a temporary fix. As someone who has struggled with sensitive skin for years and using this while my skin was in an overly sensitized phase I really saw the benefit and I think I still am. This fixed my issues within a couple of days, from a constant uncomfortable, tight feeling (kind of like a mild sunburn) where most products were irritating to use and redness that was getting worse and worse, to feeling completely comfortable again. It helped me introduce actives back into my routine as well. I didn't experience any issues with this on hand, whereas I could not have tolerated a retinoid before this came along. Even after finishing this, I have yet to experience another flare up of irritation, I just feel like my skin is finally in a place where it's less sensitive and I think this definitely had something to do with it.
