What's really scary is that even products designed for barrier repair can still be irritating depending on how damaged your barrier is. My barrier has been damaged for 8 plus months, and even products like Krave Beauty's Great Barrier Relief made my skin feel like it was on fire. I got that way from trying to overtreat maskne, and the only thing that has gradually helped over time is the La Roche Posay Cica Baume, slathered on twice a day. I also switched cleansers to the La Roche Posay super gentle wash for Eczema (it does have niacinamide in it but it didn't seem to bother my skin, I had been using cerave cleansers for many years but they burn now). I haven't even been able to wear sunscreen, chemical or mineral for a whole month plus now. It's been a huge switch since I have oily acne prone skin but for months I've been bone dry and sensitive and still acne prone. So basically, choose your 'barrier repair' carefully, some of those products might only help later on in the healing process or as a preventative measure.
2 years ago I learned everything about barrier support from your channel and invested in a biggest tube of face cream I ever bought - Illyoon ceramide . I since added Keep Cool bamboo toner and now Make Prem toner to my routine ; all from your recommendation. And I never looked back. Thanks Kelly 💕
Yes! I love Illiyoon ceramide cream found thanks to Kelly. I never tried Keep Cool toner and will not, I won't give my money to a sketchy company. I have Make Prem toner though, again bought after Kelly recommended it, but haven't opened it yet🙂
@@niklaus009. just get it, Make Prem is very hydrating and totally worth it. Affordable and effective! Keep cool has a bit of slippery feel but still good.
@@laynaaa yeah I stopped using Keep Cool after the sunscreen saga over a year ago. Make Prem is very good and one of the most affordable toner I have. Into my 3rd bottle now 😅.
i suffered the worst irritation few years ago when i didn't know that my skin cannot tolerate alcohol and hyaluronic acid. it made my skin barrier damaged to the point i can't even tolerate a mineral sunscreen. what's even worse is that my job requires me to be outdoor most of the time. i had to wear a hat, sunglass and face mask to make sure that i cover as much skin as possible. it was my worst nightmare. i stopped all of my skincare products and only use cleanser & ceramide cream for a solid 2 months until my skin barrier completely healed. my 2nd barrier damage was last year when kbeauty brands put exfoliating acid in literally every products and claimed that it was very mild and safe for daily use. i even saw a sunscreen with glycolic acid in it 🤦 after that 2nd barrier damage, i only use PHA to exfoliate. now that i understand my skin better, it is a little bit easier to treat damage barrier. i hope you can always make this type of video. lots of love ❤
same!!!!! i am soooo weary and timid about using exfoliating acids now, and only use natural enzymes, even lactic acid i worry about. it’s hard to find as many products with just pha. i have NO idea how some people use BHAs every single day. happy to hear you’ve healed ♥️
@@alyxoddy6696 ikr~ I've seen influencer who love toner pad and use it everyday despite having all types of exfoliating acid in it. As someone who sensitive to HA and cannot tolerate potent exfoliating acids, finding Kbeauty products without those 2 is quite a challange now.
You can’t see me but I’m nodding along with your video. I have atopic dermatitis (and a sun allergy), born with it, and one of the contributing factors for it is some sort of skin barrier dysfunction or abnormality. I can keep rashes and allergic reactions and the like at bay by avoiding irritants but my moisture barrier is defective in itself so I’m permanently “repairing” it. I don’t itch or flake usually and I can use actives (aha/bha/adapalene) very carefully on a schedule. But I also go to bed looking like my cheeks got a sunburn the nights I do, red, tight and burning. It’s always gone in the morning so it’s not a problem but yeah, although purely cosmetic (my cheeks aren’t more sensitive than the rest of my face usually nor do I have breakouts or capillaries or anything from the flushing) it’s still looks alarming and like I cooked myself in the shower. I did not know this/walk myself through this reasoning five years ago when I started breaking out like crazy so I went full on French pharmacy acne-fighting routine. That was a mistake. And I didn’t stop until smiling made my nasolabial folds crack and bleed in winter. Good times!
Hats and sleeves and covering from the sun is an excellent sun protection method! Especially agree with avoiding the high uv times of day, and also you can check online what the uv level is in your area that day so you can plan how much time to spend outside. For those who find mineral sunscreen more soothing on their skin than chemical, I really like the eltamd uv physical sunscreen (water resistant), or pipette mineral sunscreen. They are both simple formulas and easy on the skin. Once my barrier improved a bit I started seeing even more improvement in my skin when using these sunscreens! Protecting my skin from the sun makes a huge difference in keeping my skin healthy and keeping my moisture barrier strong!
totally agree with you on point number 5. I had damage skin barrier and can't tolerate any sunscreen at all! even the physical one. so i skip the application for two weeks but I diligently wear hat, umbrella and sunny if I could. actually make it better
Solid gold advice in this video! 🌟 I have a "chronic barrier dysfunction" with rosacea, and NIOD Modulating Glucosides is the best thing I've ever put on my face. It's one of a kind! Love to see it recommended in this kind of video. I always focus on bland products that are hydrating and moisturizing, this is what works for my skin best. And I learned how to do this thanks to your advice Kelly! I also really appreciate the encouragement to listen to your skin and do what you think is right. There's a lot of judgment on the internet about the "right" way to treat sensitive skin, and it truly is individual. Once I stopped listening to others and listened to my skin I finally saw improvement.
Hi fellow chronic barrier dysfunction buddie! Atopic dermatitis is joining the chat, how did I not know about the modulating glucosides until right this moment? I’m gonna hunt down a retailer that ships to my country and has it in stock.
@@AwakingOceanborn hello! Best of luck in finding it in your country, I truly love the NIOD Modulating Glucosides serum. Not only does it help calm my skin immediately, but it also has helped to strengthen my skin over time. I still get rosacea flares from my triggers, but my skin adapts and recovers more quickly and with less irritation. Love that stuff so much I always try to get the word out about it. ❤️ Also hypochlorous acid spray found at the drugstore can be calming as well, but I'm not sure if it's good for atopic dermatitis. This is the ingredient in the tower 28 sos spray (not sure if that's only available in the US) which is sold at a high markup. Might be something else you want to look into!
i was number 4 HARDCORE, every single thing at all was making it react. i was breaking out in ways i never have (i dont struggle from acne, aside from random pimples here and there), i was oily, i tried every single product for like BABIES, everything that said no irritation. for a while i didn’t know if my skin was purging or if my skin was damaged for the first couple months, but when i finally understood i needed to repair my moisture barrier, eventually, i was able to heal. after trial and error. things that had moisturized me before were irritating my skin. i started using the skinfix+ barrier repair serum and moisturizer, as well as their oil cleanser and after 2 months i felt like my skin was all healed, i tried one gentle active, NOPEEEEE, cue my skin freaking out again. after 6 months of purely focusing on repairing my barrier, finally my skin had completely healed. i have ZERO affiliation with skinfix at all, but this was my holy grail skin saviour. it has the ceramides, the lipids, etc. then i could bring back in my retinol, and my skin could start to transform for the better. thank you soooo much for this information. this happened to me 2 years ago and i literally couldn’t find any good info like this video. i wanted to ask: when does the cosrx snail essence/snail all in one cream expire? i had to give it up during my time of healing, (even though it should have just helped haha), and i still have most of both products left but i loved them at first !!!!! wondering if i need to replace them.
I'm glad I found your video, I was about to go to the dermatologist because I didn't know what was going on with my skin, now that I've seen the video, I realized that I have almost all these saintomas, even washing my face with water, itchy , and I feel itchy :( I used a granactive retinoid serum for two days in a row, and after that, my skin became super sensitive, and it still is, even the products I used to use are reacting, red spots appear when I use it, but I stopped, I'm only using the soap and the physiogel moisturizer, I notice that the itch improves and the rashes too, now that I know what I have, I will be able to recover my skin, thanks for the video :)
I'm going through damaged skin barrier now, hence I'm here trying to salvage myself using your recommendations. 😁 I over-cleansed/over-exfoliated myself. A few days ago, I cleaned my face 4 times a day (after re-doing makeup a few times, I'm terrible at makeup and tried to put some on for an event), including using exfoliating toner in my night time skincare routine. My skin then became super sensitive, angry, irritated, and breaks out into small, tender bumps. I thought the bumps were soon-to-be acne spots, so, foolishly, I exfoliated my skin again and put on retinol particularly on the bumpy areas. This aggravates my skin even more, and I end up with red, blistering, tender sores all over my face, and nothing works on them. Like, literally, nothing. Even cleansing my face is extremely painful now. I can only pat my face gently with water, and put on tea tree-manuka honey healing balm on it (I swear it's not even a skincare product, more like balm with healing/soothing properties for wounds). So here I am, watching this vid while ordering some of the products mentioned in this vid online, as this is 2am and I cannot sleep due to the pain on my face.
La Roche posey cicaplast!! And moisturise like you are getting paid for it! That is what fixed mine 90% of the way. I'm on here recapping lol about to add an essence in too. My skin was BAD I mean dehydrated isn't a strong enough word for what my skin was like. Bright red, tight, sore with even water. La Roche posey cicaplast is AMAZING 😘
I know this is so long ago but it has helped me a lot. I was confused why my skin kept flaring up for both chemical and mineral sunscreen. It has been two weeks and i feel the stings and itchiness whenever I put sunscreen.
i love your videos about the moisture barrier, Kelly! i have first learned about it on your channel. when im experiencing these symptoms, i use a hydrating/mugwort toner, snail mucin, 2 pumps of liquid gold and an occlusive moisturiser. maintaining my moisture barrier and listening to my skin is something that i’ve been trying to improve on e.g. not washing my face with hot water, keeping it simple when i’m irritated (even though I feel guilty that im skipping a day in my schedule of alternating between Tret and Vit C), etc. I love and appreciate you and your content so so much! Thank you kindly!
Hi Kelly! I just found your channel and I have been Binge watching all your videos! I am learning so much! I want you to know how much I truly appreciate the content you create, you are changing lives with your videos! ❤❤❤. I do have a question though...if you have dry dehydrated skin, but react to insoluble silicone and petrolatum is there another ingredient you recommend to look for to seal in the hydration?
I don't, or at least isn't aware of, have a broken barrier, but my dry irritation prone skin really rely on a routine that consist of simple/bland/boring products free of (fragrances,) essential oils and anything that might dry my skin out even more, and which for some reason I don't really get have a certain focus on panthenol.
If many don’t recommend the use of actives on the face while skin barrier may be compromised, is there even an appropriate time to use actives for these issues in that case? Because wouldn’t we be worsening our conditions every time we have acne appearing and we reach for say for example bha’s and aha’s? When can we actually use those safely?
Besides my very dry skin it is also dehydrated. I will try the Make P:rem Toner thank you! And I have hyperpigmentation and some acne scars, I have worked on it with klairs vitamin c serum and the vitamin e mask, which really has helped. But there are still some areas where it is not completely gone, so I have to work on that too with other products. Do you have some recommendation for me? Would be great, thank you 🤍
My skin is usually quite normal, closer to oily than dry, and not very sensitive, but I think my barrier is damaged because it's felt dry and sensitive lately. But. To the touch it feels nice and soft and it looks really good??? It looks good when it's not damaged too but???
I'd go with how your skin feels. I had problems with my skin in the past when it looked perfectly fine but felt burn-y and sensitive, different than it usually feels. Your skin is trying to tell you something.
@@MercenaryCupcake I get it, everyone is different. I'd go with a very basic, "boring" routine - gentle cleanser, moisturiser, SPF during the day. No retinol or acids. Everything fragrance free. Plus maybe something very soothing like Niod modulating glucosides.
I’ve damaged my skin barrier and I’m worried I’m starting to get rosacea (I’ve a derm appointment in 2 weeks). Anyway no matter what I do my skin feels tight and itchy: I’m using Aveeno oat cleanser, LRP thermal water, 2 layers of Dr Ceuracle kombucha tea essence (which seems the only thing giving hydration and moisture to my skin) and either Cerave moisturizing lotion (which I think it’s not making the situation better since it contains ha) or LRP toleriane sensitive cream (I’m from EU and we don’t have the same products you do in US) and yet my skin is still dehydrated. 😭😭 I just bought vaseline and I’m waiting to receive it, I hope it’ll help sealing the moisture.
Buy oil serum. Or good face oil. Every second evening just wash your face, pat it dry, then put oil serum and then some thick barrier cream. When you put water/ hydration on your skin all the good lipids you put afterwards just cannot build on your skin because of water under oils. It’s the best way to repair your skin barrier. Hydrolipidic barrier ( one night for hydro second night for lipidic ☺️)
@@diamondprincess458 thanks! My skin was finally better, then I used Kiehl’s calendula toner and it gave me a bad reaction… I’m back to the start now 😔😭
@@dl6170 don't lose hope! My Barrier has been damage for about a year now and it's been an up and down journey but it's in a better place and hopefully it stays that way 🤞🏻
I used the make prem toner in the past thanks to Kelly. At first I was like "Mh, this seems to do nothing" but when I finished it, I missed it soooo much. I want to repurchase it so badly!
My skin feels so tight and just a mess. I am starting tonight just using skin1004 centalla toner, snail mucin and serum and then my beautiful deiux moisturizer. Is this a good rountine? I am unsure of what cleanser to use? My skin is definitely dehydrated for sure and dry. What cleanser would you reccomend to use as my cleanser? Maybe something that isn't very expensive? Would it be okay to use micellar water as my first cleanse and a cleanser that you suggest as my second cleanse?Thank you so so much for your videos. This one came at just the right time ❤
hi do u prefer the new ilyoon moisturizer or cera ve moisturizing cream? i have combo acne prone skin but i use retin a every night so that of course can dry my skin out. I like both the old ilyoon and cera ve, but have not tried the new ilyoon reformulation yet.
She put out a recent video comparing the old and new formulations. I personally am in a deeper love with the illiyoon cream since the newer formulation
Kelly said in her previous video that she likes the new version just as much but it's 10% more occlusive so it might not be a welcomed change by people with oily skin. I love both versions, maybe the newer version a bit more. I use adapalene every 2nd night and acids on alternate nights. My skin is combination, slightly oily t zone and very dry cheeks. I tried cerave moisturising cream and didn't hate it but didn't love it. Illiyoon is so much better imo.
My skin has been doing good and now all the sudden season change and it got warm outside and my skin freaked out like u think it wouldn't get super dry feeling but all the sudden it felt 10× dryer then usual and I got little bumps on my chin it's so weird cause that's something that happens usually when it gets cold out not warm and my lips felt super dry too.
Weather change definitely can freak skin out! Mine is going though a little something with the spring transition too, even when I know it happens every year I'm always surprised by how it acts!
You could as it's a moisturizer it will act as a final layer. Isntree does have a hyaluronic acid sleeping mask that you could also use as something a little more occlusive (if that is what you are seeking). It's a really nice one!
What's really scary is that even products designed for barrier repair can still be irritating depending on how damaged your barrier is. My barrier has been damaged for 8 plus months, and even products like Krave Beauty's Great Barrier Relief made my skin feel like it was on fire.

Buy oil serum. Or good face oil. Every second evening just wash your face, pat it dry, then put oil serum and then some thick barrier cream. When you put water/ hydration on your skin all the good lipids you put afterwards just cannot build on your skin because of water under oils. It’s the best way to repair your skin barrier. Hydrolipidic barrier ( one night for hydro second night for lipidic ☺️)
@@JanKowalski-pc9kt thanks! I'll willing to try anything at the moment!
@@dl6170 cleansing with grapseed oil has helped my damaged barrier.
@@diamondprincess458 thanks! My skin was finally better, then I used Kiehl’s calendula toner and it gave me a bad reaction… I’m back to the start now 😔😭
@@dl6170 don't lose hope! My Barrier has been damage for about a year now and it's been an up and down journey but it's in a better place and hopefully it stays that way 🤞🏻
Great video Kelly
I just ordered the make prem toner to try out! Such an interesting product for having ceramide in a toner form. Hope it’s treating my skin well
I used the make prem toner in the past thanks to Kelly. At first I was like "Mh, this seems to do nothing" but when I finished it, I missed it soooo much. I want to repurchase it so badly!
What are your recommended or holy grail oil cleansers, Kelly? If you have new ones, pls update! 😊
Is it normal that when I'm trying to repair my damaged skin barrier, when I used those products my skin gets red for a while then it dissappear
My skin feels so tight and just a mess. I am starting tonight just using skin1004 centalla toner, snail mucin and serum and then my beautiful deiux moisturizer. Is this a good rountine? I am unsure of what cleanser to use? My skin is definitely dehydrated for sure and dry. What cleanser would you reccomend to use as my cleanser? Maybe something that isn't very expensive? Would it be okay to use micellar water as my first cleanse and a cleanser that you suggest as my second cleanse?Thank you so so much for your videos. This one came at just the right time ❤
hi! micellar water isn’t a cleanser, you may want to consider cleansing balms / oil cleansers if you want to do dual cleansing everyday
hi do u prefer the new ilyoon moisturizer or cera ve moisturizing cream? i have combo acne prone skin but i use retin a every night so that of course can dry my skin out. I like both the old ilyoon and cera ve, but have not tried the new ilyoon reformulation yet.
She put out a recent video comparing the old and new formulations. I personally am in a deeper love with the illiyoon cream since the newer formulation
Kelly said in her previous video that she likes the new version just as much but it's 10% more occlusive so it might not be a welcomed change by people with oily skin. I love both versions, maybe the newer version a bit more. I use adapalene every 2nd night and acids on alternate nights. My skin is combination, slightly oily t zone and very dry cheeks. I tried cerave moisturising cream and didn't hate it but didn't love it. Illiyoon is so much better imo.
I’m going through this now! 😅😩
Awesome video!
Kelly, u r life saver💜
When you said don't treat the skin, i immediately put aside my aha toner 😂 Thank you for the video ❤️❤️❤️
SPF FOR SENSITIVE SKIN: Dr Jart Cicipair Color Correcting Cream, SPF22
My skin has been doing good and now all the sudden season change and it got warm outside and my skin freaked out like u think it wouldn't get super dry feeling but all the sudden it felt 10× dryer then usual and I got little bumps on my chin it's so weird cause that's something that happens usually when it gets cold out not warm and my lips felt super dry too.
Weather change definitely can freak skin out! Mine is going though a little something with the spring transition too, even when I know it happens every year I'm always surprised by how it acts!
can we use isntree hyaluronic acid gel cream as sleeping mask
You could as it's a moisturizer it will act as a final layer. Isntree does have a hyaluronic acid sleeping mask that you could also use as something a little more occlusive (if that is what you are seeking). It's a really nice one!
Yay 1st😁👏💗
U need to stop being first..🤣 I finally beat u the other day on Sarah's video..lol
Na Im kidding
@Heather sargent I was in a doctor's appointment 🤣🤣🤣but I'm not always on top of it!

I really needed this video!
Thank you.
You're so welcome!💙
