I have sensitive, oily, AND acne-prone skin so trying out products is a hassle. I am so glad I found Liah Yoo on YouTube a few years ago before she started her business, Krave Beauty. Her tips and THIS product has transformed my skin. My break outs healed, redness and dryness from other irritants went away. I used this product, Great Barrier Relief, with a layer of Cetaphil on top to seal it in, day and night for almost a month and now my skin is finally hydrated and healthy. Skin soaks this serum up quickly and it's lightweight enough to wear during the day and under other moisturizers, sunscreen, and makeup. Pairs nicely with other moisturizers, especially Cetaphil and CeraVe. Only downside would be the slight nutty or bark scent which is because of the tamanu oil but it hasn't affected my sensitive skin and acne nor does it bother me, you get used to it. And for all the benefits... TOTALLY WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!
The scent and texture are so nice, I really like using it. One to two pumps were enough for all my face.
Unfortunately, my face skin usually broke out one or two days after applying it, with clogged pores. I then tried to use it on the body to not waste it but same, I got few of very small itchy spots with clear liquid (allergy? fungal acne?) where I put it (arms and legs).
disclaimer : I have a very dry and sensitive skin.
Price: so expensive for a 40 ml serum but considering the result on my skin, it is worth it.
Texture: thick, more like a light lotion.
What It Claims: "nourishing serum that calms signs of sensitivity and evens out skin without the greasy after feeling."
Result: It helped the eczema on my palm that I had been suffered for almost 3 years! I am glad that it worked on my face too, when it feels so dry because I overexfoliate or whenever my skin needs it, I always use this as my SOS skincare. Its like a must-have on the skincare shelf.
