Ceramide Barrier Serum, More Hydrating Than Hyaluronic Acid, Serum to Reduce Dryness, All Skin Types including Sensitive Skin, Fragrance Free, Cruelty Free, 1 fl oz | Hydrating Serum to Reduce Dryness, All Skin Types including Sensitive Skin, Fragrance Free, Cruelty Free

Summary: I LOVE this ceramide serum. I’ve been using it consistently for years and I’ve tried other more expensive or high end options (I’m a total skincare nerd) and none have measured up in effectiveness, texture, or price. You seriously cannot get anything this effective or of this quality for anything even remotely close to this price, or maybe even at all. It’s perfect for dry and sensitive skin and for healing a broken or disrupted skin barrier. It is great to layer under or over retinoid products that can be drying, especially when first starting retinoids or when leveling up their potency. The serum is light, silky, milky, and soothing, not sticky or greasy. It fits really nicely into my routine, and I can actually feel and see the difference it makes when I use it. If you are unsure, trust me, just try it. At this price, it’s a no-brainer. More Detail: First of all, Cocokind is an all-around excellent brand who focuses heavily on using high-quality ingredients, simplicity, and effectiveness, rather than fancy marketing or packaging. They’re generally able to deliver an exceptional product that rivals other luxury and high-end brands at prices that are just unheard of. Truly a feel-good brand aiming to make quality skincare accessible for everyone. What’s not to love? Second of all, let me talk about this serum specifically. If there was a con, it would be the dropper bottle packaging, which I think is one of the most annoying and problematic serum packaging options ever. It makes consistent and conservative dosing difficult, which basically means I often end up using too much, and I inevitably end up touching the dropper to either my face or my hand, which increases the risk of introducing bacteria to the rest of the bottle. I would definitely prefer a pump, but for some reason the dropper delivery system is extremely popular across the whole skincare industry, and for cocokind, it is a cheaper option, which in part allows them to sell it for such a reasonable price. Honestly, the quality, price, and effectiveness is so good that the dropper is barely worth mentioning, which is why I didn’t dock a star. Personal experience with the product: I have very dry and sensitive skin, so in the winter or if traveling to a drier climate, I would not be exaggerating to say that it actually saves my skin. I’m from the DC area, and I first tried this serum on a snowboarding trip to Utah a few winters ago. Even before the trip my skin was super dry and struggling, but I hadn’t tried this serum yet. Once I spent a day or two in the super arid, high-altitude winter weather in Utah, my skin was painfully parched, cracking, flaking, and super irritated. It was so dry that it was inflamed and highly reactive to basically everything I put on it, including my basic moisturizers. I had bought this serum on the recommendation of a popular dermatologist YouTuber and brought it with me since my skin was already not feeling great. [side note: if you care about your skin, her content is EXTREMELY helpful and trust worthy. check her out @shereeneidriss). The first time I tried this serum the rest of my skincare was either useless or harmful considering the condition of my skin, and I felt immediate relief in just one application. By the third or fourth day (mind you, Im out in the elements snowboarding, taking care of kids, etc — not babying my skin with mud and cucumbers) my skin was back to its calm and comfortable state, no longer chapped or cracked at all, and I was shocked. It single handedly healed my skin. Sometimes I take breaks when my barrier is doing well and I’m in humid places, but the second it feels irritated or dry this serum is what gets it and keeps it healthy. I wish I had taken before and after photos, but in my pain and panic, product reviews weren’t really on my mind. Hope this helps others out there struggling with sensitive, dry, and reactive skin!

This product has become a staple in my routine. It a thick but easily absorbed formula. My skin eats it up, soaking in the hydration. The consistency is great and leaves your skin feeling soft, not sticky or tacky. I absolutely love this and will use it forever!

I first found this on sale at Wegman's while traveling and thought it wasn't a bad buy since I was looking for a hydrating serum to add to my routine for the summer. My nose loves to peel in the summer for no other reason than my skin is thin and it's dry where I live, and this coupled with a moisturizer has changed the game (a moisturizer alone didn't work, and I tried multiple). What an amazing find! My skin feels so nice, and while I'm not great about my face routine, this is one product that I actually want to use twice a day. Saw this go on sale on Prime Day, and had to buy a few to stock up until the next Black Friday/Prime Day.

love this! Decided to try a few other barrier products after finishing this one and can confirm I will be repurchasing cocokind. it’s lightweight but nourishes like it’s a richer product.

Ok so I use actives nightly. Full regime for years now. Sat/Sun-AHA, Tues-retinol, Wed-BHA, Thur-Exosome my rest days consist of recovery or just plain cleanse toner moisturizer. Well not to long ago I began feeling a “distant itch” like a surface itch/tickle. Which for me is a sign my barrier is slightly bothered. So rather than stopping my routine I purchased this barrier repair serum to use day and night. And it worked. The surface itching stopped. It absorbed perfectly into my skin no residue left behind and most importantly it didn’t block my pores. Which my BHA/Exosome works hard to shrink. (Enlarged pores are typically a sign of congestion) I didn’t have to stop my routine I just needed to add a step no biggie. I must had I have normal skin. And although I know many people believe that normal skin is the best skin. I’m here to tell you it’s not. Too much of one thing can create an imbalance in my skin whereas I just go oily overnight. This didn’t cause oily skin. But unfortunately it caused me to purge. That’s the tiny little bumps that may or may not become white heads. As all my other items I’ve used are aren’t new, this was my only new addition. Oily skin is also a sign of congestion but as I said my pores stayed small to almost invisible. I’m not sure if I’ll repurchase, but the purge is slowly clearing away and normally once I pass a purge point then I’m good to go, no more breakouts.

Love this stuff. I have been using it for years all year around and it has been great for my face.

I bought this serum after dealing with dry, irritated skin from over-exfoliating, and it’s been a total lifesaver. My skin felt tight, flaky, and just overall uncomfortable, and I needed something that would calm everything down without making things worse. This serum is lightweight but really nourishing. It goes on smoothly and sinks in quickly without feeling greasy or heavy. Within just a few days of using it consistently, I noticed my skin was softer, less red, and way more comfortable. It feels like it actually helps repair and strengthen my skin instead of just masking dryness. I also really appreciate that it’s fragrance-free and gentle enough for sensitive skin. I’ve had no reactions, and it layers well with other products in my routine. If your skin ever feels stressed, stripped, or in need of extra support, I definitely recommend this. It’s become one of those products I always want to have on hand.

I have been using this product for about a year. Love it. Non greasy!

the product came opened, half spilled out the box and the box it self was totally f’d up, i was really disappointed i wanted to try it not buying it again for sure.

Ich bin so begeistert von diesem Serum. Zuerst war ich skeptisch, weil ich 35€ schon ziemlich teuer finde, aber ich wollte für meine Haut dann doch in eine optimale Ceramid-Pflege investieren und wurde nicht enttäuscht. Vor allem meine Wangen sind seit Jahren so trocken, dass Cremes kaum einziehen. Dafür nutze ich einmalig ein Enzym-Peeling-Pulver und kann danach mit einer Pflegeroutine beginnen. Aktuell nutze ich ein sehr leichtes Waschgel, danach das Ceramid - Serum und anschließend eine Rindertalgcreme und nach wenigen Wochen ist meine Haut so weich und rehydriert wie seit Jahren nicht mehr.
