STRATIA: 2023 Review & How to Layer their products!!

[@db-gb5xi]

I like the egg step. I've seen most derms say you only need to use one retinoid and not two because more is not better. I've also seen another skincare creator say they didn't do an SPF in their line because there are so many good ones out there already. Not all brands have to try and provide everything.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Exactly! Some brands are even dedicated to only making sunscreen! 😃

[@SheReaDelSol]

liquid gold is literally LIQUID GOLD

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

It is!! 👏👏

[@danaso2567]

To quote Sheldon "literally?!"😂 sorry, I had to

[@Suki0428]

It’s called Lipid Gold now. It’s like liquid gold to me though lol.

[@gmiles2021]

Eggscelent review! Love Stratia !

[@krisbarry4950]

I work outside running a greenhouse business. Any colder than 80 and I freeze in the summer. Can’t wait to try Stratia once I work my way through my stash.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Haha yup I feel like we acclimate to the temperatures we are used to. The coldest I’ve ever experienced is low 20s (F) and GOOOODNESS NOOOO. It was snowing and I didn’t even care to see it, the cold sucked too much 🤣😂

[@pamelagileno5483]

I have Interface, liquid gold, rewind, and their milk cleanser. The liquid gold is very rich so I’ll largely be saving that for our Alaskan cold season. I’m enjoying the other three currently! Oh, and their Nightshift is the very first retinol I’ve ever used on my face and décolleté I’m still on the once/weekly rotation but so far, so good. Also have Fortify but I’m never sure where to fit an oil into my routine.

[@tramanh2710]

I mix 1 or 2 drops of Fortify with the Liquid Gold for night skincare

[@andie1508]

I was trying to think of another brand (not skincare item but entire line or brand) that I like more than Stratia and I couldn't think of one. A couple that were almost ties but none better. So maybe it's my....very favorite! 😮 In any case, love, love them and I love the egg. I saw an alternate version of the egg on Reddit where you put a couple drops of Fortify onto your interface blob before adding the LQ "yolk". I like that version best. I'm loving these re-reviews! And I know I've asked before but I'm still gunning for a Drunk Elephant re-review! I've gone through so much with that brand. Disinterest because of the trendiness to interest to trying a few things and loving them to scouring the earth for dupes because $$ to dropping them entirely on principle for being assholes and I always end up at the same place: they have a good 4 or 5 products that are *excellent*....like among my favorites, and I kinda wish it wasn't so. But it is. What's a girl to do? 🤷‍♀️

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

See it’s so funny to read that because that’s kind of me and Perricone MD. I looove cold plasma, but I don’t want to (because it doesn’t have to cost that much, and they’re super unhelpful in their communication). And I keep swearing it off and then repurchasing it in the end lol. I wonder if everyone has a brand/product like that! I do like DE though, but - I think I might be repeating myself actually, apologies if I am - the internet did get REALLY weird towards them for a bit! It made it hard to be over here going, “errr don’t all brands have weird marketing stuff?” Idk, it was really a time. But I can never deny that their products worked well for me!

[@alisonmarsh5791]

Thanks, Alice! This is exactly the sort of thing I was looking for and just placed my order for their essentials kit. Looking forward to trying it all out.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Awesome!! Let me know how it goes for you 😃💕

[@maryarmstrong2231]

Oh! I tried and like the C&C serum. It is a light silicone lotion . It reminds me of the Beautystat vitamin c but is a bit thinner and isn’t as tricky with pilling.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Ah that sounds excellent, thanks so much for sharing! I think I’m going to add it to my next order and give it a go. I love the brand too much not to try everything 🤐🤣

[@GodzillauniverseYT]

I Reeally like Stratia skin care! Especially the cleanser and Interface.

[@LauraLVTGW]

Have tried Liquid Gold, Rewind, Fortify, Interface and the Velvet Cleansing Milk. I've repurchased all many times. I can't wait to try the Soft Touch AHA. I love this brand, they do so much research and yes, are so affordable. I was so afraid to use DMAE, I emailed the company, they got right back to me and I've been using it twice daily. I'll also add a few drops of Fortify to the Liquid Gold. This was the first oil I've tried and I'm in love. Thank you and many blessings! 💖💖💖

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Oh yes they’re so wonderful about communication! I really appreciate that too; so many companies have left me hanging with questions. They respond and with a lot of thought!

[@connie6410]

I always joke that I'm a reptile disguised as a mammal because I also love a warm house, 78-80 degrees feels perfect! Loved this re-review, but all of your re-reviews have been great. Enjoy your long holiday weekend!

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Haha same, then I became a reptile mom and really solidified the excuse for the house temperatures 🤣 Thank you! ☀️

[@karatalksaboutstuff7333]

Love the vid.❤ Stratia might just be the BEST brand ever! At this point, I think I have actually tried all of their products but interface and Night Shift...and I have unopened bottles of those sitting on my shelf right now!😆 Honestly, I think their Vitamin C is my new fave. My skin is getting increasingly sensitive to low pH serums, so the fact that they use volatile silicones with a low ascorbic acid concentration (plus a derivative) is EXACTLY what my skin needs! Liquid Gold will probably never leave my routine. Absolutely the perfect barrier supporting serum for me. Their AHA and Rewind serum were...nice. I just think I'm better off without an AHA these days (low pH, and serious overkill when I already have BHA, adapalene, and azelaic acid in rotation). Rewind just didn't do enough to replace my previous go-to hydrators. I loved their oil, but not quite enough to pay more for it than for plain rosehip seed oil from the ordinary.

[@giovannamadonna6696]

Can you try Interface vs the new Peach and Lily Copper Peptide serum? Trying to decide which one I should get for my aging mom :)

[@ericka77]

Love Stratia so much and have used all of their products. Their Vitamin C was very good for sensitive skin, I just don’t like the silicone base in the spring/summertime.

[@lisasmith7]

Hi Alice. It has been a busy week. My son got a new to him SUV. Him and Dad are working on changing things from his truck to the SUV. The wheels are done. Now the stereo system. That will take awhile. Dad installs stereo equipment on the side. He is over the moon. He bought a new to him car last year. Now the SUV. I am super happy for him.❌️⭕️

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Oh that’s fun! What kind is it? Ara had a Subaru Forester; I loved how comfortable it was!

[@ashegar]

How do we feel about the Liquid Gold renaming…Lipid Gold? I hate it. Love the product, and will of course keep using though!

[@carlamcbride2457]

Want to try this brand

[@trixieloo]

Bought another 4 oz Liquid Gold. I was going to skip it for a while, but the discount code changed my mind!

[@katymawson3701]

Thanks Alice I think I need to try a couple of things from this brand. Also, 77 sounds perfect I love a warm house. I absolutely hate being cold.

[@katymawson3701]

I also find it hard to use just a few drops of an oil. I use at least half a dropper full!! I think I'll try mixing with my moisturiser. Great tip thanks!

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

I haaaaate being cold. I’ve come to realize it’s something some folks cannot relate to (although they may hate being hot?), but ugh being cold is painful!!

[@amandag.7807]

I love this brand. I very sensitive skin, and their vitamin C serum is the only one I can use that contains the active form of vitamin C. Probably bc of the low ph required for water based serums. Also I think 78/79 is perfect. Pretty sure my husband is hoping the menopause hot flashes start coming soon!😅

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

I’m convinced it is the perfect temperature too! Thanks for sharing the info on the vitamin c serum. Good to hear it works for you as the L-AA is what’s kept me from trying it so far; but yep, I know it can work for my skin *sometimes* lol!

[@geethaparasuram6338]

Hi. Hope it is not too late to ask a question on this video. I am exploring alternate ceramide choices to my cerave skin renewing night cream. How do the stratia liquid gold and torriden solid in ceramide essence/cream compare ? Is there a richer ceramide choice for mature skin?

[@loriwicker1701]

Very Good Video Alice; Thank You. I also have several products from Stratia. Have a Great Weekend.

[@nadineyturraspe1981]

I use the stratia night shift on my neck and décolleté because those areas are so extremely sensitive on me.

[@vickise]

I LOVE the egg method I only use one pump of each instead of the recommended 2-1 ratio bc im poor tho lol

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

I did not expect it to be anything other than “cute for photos”. Nah it really is an incredible mixture!

[@vickise]

I honestly thought it was going to be an okay moisturizer but got it on a whim and I have had so many people say my skin was legit glowing making it an instant HG combo!!

[@sharonharris9782]

Stratia is one of my favorite brands out there! Im freaking out right now because Interface is out of stock now! When i git the email, i was so thankful that i had a bottle left, but its getting low so im really hoping they get their shipment of peptides in soon!

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

[@barbowens8626]

Thanks for this great review, Alice! I’ve been wary of the Rewind serum because of the DMAE but I think I’ll try it since you like it so much. Their Liquid Gold is one of my holy grails! ☮️🌸💜

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

It’s a no-frills serum, which I think I was a bit “meh” on from the first try, but the more I use it the more I realize how nice it is (and how much it does over time!)

This is legit one of THE best/high quality and most genuine brands on the market for me 💯🙌🏽

[@tamizilla]

Hallo Alice, thank you so much. I need to try this brand!

[@LoveToday8]

Though I live in Chicago where it's cold (to me, someone born and raised in Arkansas) most of the year, I love a warm apartment. I'm lucky my landlord keeps the place cozy (75+ when the radiator heat is going, btw, radiator is the superior heat in my book) when it's cold outside. In the summer I generally go without an AC. It's so cold most of the year, I want all the warmth.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Oh you are indeed lucky! I have to settle for about 68 in the winter months just to keep costs low (our house isn’t well insulated unfortunately 😔) I haven’t heard the word radiator in years, but I do agree. It’s always wild to me when we turn the heat on and it blows downwards from the ceiling. I…what? Bizarre lol.

[@idisruiz9982]

Thanks for this video! Liquid Gold has made it to holy grail status. I also like Rewind but I do not like the stickiness. I actually use 1 pump of Rewind with 1 pump CosRX snail mucin and mix together and it applies so nicely.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

I like your problem solving! 😃

[@celiareed1402]

Stratia was one of the first brands I discovered. The Interface (not Interfaith!) sounds interesting. Will put it on my list. ❤

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

I am very jealous that you started with Stratia lol! My start was…more expensive and less impressive 🤪

[@SA30.137]

America is such a strange place to me. Living in India, we have separate air conditioning in every room. How can everyone in house be expected to live in the same room temperatures? My mom is going through menopause and requires a fan at full speed 24/7, my dad is thin and feels cold often, i feel cold too and my brother goes to the gym and requires a cooler room but not as much as my mom. Lmao. All my friends living in the states complain about the temperature all the time. Idk what's the novelty in living in America where the health care and education is so freaking expensive,the taxes are so highhh, prices of everything are rising by the day, on top of that you are expected to adjust to your 4 roommate's temperature requirements.

[@SA30.137]

Guys please don't come after me. America of course is a land of opportunities. It's a great country.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Haha honestly most of us would very much agree with some gripes about the country!! If you mention “US health care” in a group of people, several folks will start groaning, others will grumble, and absolutely nobody will tell you it’s great. It’s a hot mess and we all know it 🤐 Also, that does make sense with the AC. Probably less expensive to maintain/fix issues too. Our internal AC system is absurdly high maintenance and constantly has problems. I’m not sure why we do it this way tbh!

[@marupinto9390]

Alice..I love your videos and respect how much you know about ingredients so please, please, please do a review of the Chogongjin line from Missha, some of them are made with ginseng so may be like sulwhasoo…..and I need to know, thank you so much!!!!!!

[@EnvyBlu]

Omg I would be a sweat hog if I were at your house 😆 Picture that gif of that man sweating profusely lol 😂 that would be me! People always complain at my house because they’re too cold. I keep my house around 60°-65° 😆 it’s funny how the family adapts to a certain temperature, because now my kid is the same as I am, and doesn’t like it when it’s hotter than the 60’s

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Hahaha yes, your home is one of those where I would have to plan out my sweater (no joke, I have mental markers for everyone’s house temperature-it’s a must when you’re cold-blooded hahaha!) That said, I admit putting on a sweater is an easier fix than …I’m not sure what people do when they’re hot. Ice water? 🤷‍♀️ (I officially feel bad for not knowing 😅😅)

[@skynebula11]

Florida mom here...I keep meeting other women concerned about "crepe" skin....AKA...creepy crepe (in my opinion.) It seems to be a big problem on specifically...arms. I do lift weights, which appears to be..."helping" a little, but I am certain there must be something for crepe skin that can also help. I have a feeling you can find it.

[@parisinthe30sx]

I've been wanting to try the liquid gold for a long time but I'm not sure if my face can handle it, everything breaks me out. I've been using jin Jung sung essence and RNW only

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

If you ever decide to go for it, I’d suggest the sampler kit. From what I hear, liquid gold very rarely *doesn’t* work for people, but of course anything is possible with skin. Minis are the way to go! And it sounds like you’d probably do great with the cleanser too?

[@barbowens8626]

My face freaks out easily, too. I loved seeing that you use the Jin Jung Sung because I use it every day. My face loves it. I think you should try the Liquid Gold! I use it every day without any problem. It goes on like a thin lotion and it leaves a fabulous finish. I use it as my last step. Unfortunately, Stratia’s retinol is too ‘creamy’ (or maybe rich) for my face. Maybe try the sampler package, like Alice suggested. I hope you like it! ☮️🌸💜

[@leahsanders798]

I've been dying to try their AHA. I find since being on Spironolactone for a year or so, that I can't use the strong exfoliants I once did. But I still love aha's, so I've been looking for one besides the TO lactic acid that is affordable and doesn't break me out or burn. I'd die at your house! I need no higher than 68 degrees.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Oh wow, I hadn’t thought of spiro affecting topical sensations, but that does make sense. I hear it is amazing for reducing hormonal acne! I feel like this is more gentle than most lactic acid serums (might be the result of the calming ingredients though?) I was so scared to try it but it was no big deal for my skin. WHEWWW hahaha!

[@MenchieExtrakt]

Now that people are less afraid of fragrance in skincare, maye you can make a video of the best smelling skincare products?

[@viktoriyatolesnikov1783]

Thank you so much for this video! I was wondering what you think about Diazolidinyl Urea preservative that Stratia brand uses in multiple products?

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

I read through the safety data (annoyingly as I hate reading animal studies), and my conclusion is: I wouldn’t recommend eating it. The rats that did unfortunately did not fare well. 😞 However, topically, it’s surprising effective at very low concentrations as a preservative without being a skin irritant (to rats and humans too!) As always, it’s important for companies to use it at the right concentrations, but that’s something I trust Stratia to get right - and why I love my science-oriented brands! 😃

[@josechamu240]

How long in between layers do u wait for absorption? Or do you just layer them on one right after the other?

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

I only wait before applying actives, otherwise I layer fairly quickly. Layering fast will increase absorption, which is good for antioxidants/humectants/etc. but with actives that can be sensitizing (or problematic with pH-dependent ingredients such as AHA/L-AA). Hope that helps!

I absolutely love this brand, but I don't like their vitamin C serum. I just didn't like the silicone feel. It just wasn't my thing. I prefer water based vitamin C serums. I know they go bad faster, but I prefer the feel of water based serums to the silicone based one that Stratia offers.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

That makes perfect sense! We all have personal preferences, so thank you for sharing the details on it! 😃

[@das_ein]

Does preferred house temperature correlate with skin type? I like it cool-69-72-year round and I have ‘normal’ skin (used to be oily). But I’m also in that phase of life when my brain says out of nowhere’Dear god, why is it suddenly like a volcano in here?!?’ Your kombucha/kimchi must thrive in your house. :) Although this line is probably too hydrating for me, it reminds me of the Canadian brand Regimen Labs in their no-nonsense scientific approach. Sigh, every day that I read about book banning or other nonsense in FL, I know you’re feeling it too. Hugs.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Bahaha yes, and the lizards as well! (They’re a pretty good excuse, even though it’s really more of a symbiotic relationship) It really is similar to Regimen in that sense!

[@aprilneilson1163]

I hear the rewind tightens your skin? What are the benefits of this serum?

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Yep they say it firms, which is a word I’m usually hesitant of in skincare. But with DMAE, there may be some validity to it. It’s quite an intriguing ingredient as it’s a precursor to acetylcholine. I can’t recall if I linked studies when talking about it in my perricone video, but here’s an overview: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15675889/ That plus niacinamide, n-acetyl glucosamine, and some nice plant extracts makes for a phenomenal blend for overall anti-aging purposes 😃

Primarily having the heater go up to a heat of 78 is extremely wasteful. If your house is naturally that warm and that's someone's liking I understand but putting on the heater to such a degree is..bizarre to me. In my country it's actively encouraged and promoted to not put your heater up to anything above 68. Just...wear a sweater.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Oh yes I do agree! 78 is actually running the AC at a bare minimum here (well, for now. It gets to about 94-95 in August, when it’s really hard to keep our bills down!)
