I live in the mountains and am always battling dry skin. Between lack of moisture in the air and my skin being exposed to the elements when exercising outdoors - my skin takes a beating. I typically have turned to thick balms to lock in moisture and create a barrier. I was curious about this Barrier Balm and am glad I tried it! The consistency is watery compared to my balms but once on my skin it spreads easily and soaks in to provide relief, but also leaves a nice feeling of a barrier. It is hard to describe but I can feel the barrier on my skin when I touch my face - it feels smooth, bouncy and protective. I am almost done with my first jar and will buy another. It layers well over my Vitamin C serum and under my SPF. I use at night after my lactic or retinol items as well.

Really impressed with this. It’s incredibly rich but not greasy. Very moisturizing. Still not 100% sure on how to integrate it in with my dream cream but it’s made a noticeable improvement on my skin. Have been using it day and night. Will definitely repurchase.

This is a nice balm, more like a gel-cream texture, light and moisturizing. However, it is quite expensive and I feel like I've gotten more dramatic results from other barrier repair products. While testing it, I substituted it into my routine in place of onekind's Dream Cream moisturizer and felt that the Dream Cream absorbed better and gave me more visible benefits on its own. I'm glad I tried it, though, and will happily rotate it through my routine until the jar is empty.
