Stratia Skin Care Liquid Gold Moisturizer Review and How to Use

[@petitetuber]

So, here's the spoiler at the beggining - you're on your second bottle and you already have a backup ☺️

[@TheLyricsDestination]

This comment doesn’t have the recognition it deserves!!!

[@unbiasly]

this is the only thing from reddit's suggestions that is 50000% worth the hype :) i feel like this/stratias products should get all the hype that cerave does. also the ingredients ratio is similar to that of epiceram (rx product for atopic dermatitis/barrier repair) so its not just empty hype! i'm on tretinoin and have pretty sensitive and dry skin and my skin looooves this.

[@irisskayheribe9050]

hii should this be like the final product of your skincare routine or should you add a moisturizer after using this?? thank you!!!!

[@mcd4370]

Reddit suggestions are usually amazing for my eczema skin but my skin hates cera ve. It dries me out and I would love to add this product because I use adapalene and planning to go on tretinoin.

[@erickab8987]

My favorite find of 2020. Love, love this stuff!!!

[@irenem4578]

I AM disappointed now - my skin is oily, sensitive and acne prone. I had my eyes on this, I'm just glad I haven't bought it yet. Thank you

[@Laurabeco]

I think you should be fine. I have dry skin and I use this product, but I almost use it as a serum. I have to put another moisturizer on top because is not enough for me.

[@sandokero]

Honesty I’ve tried most “healing” k beauty products such as centella, mugwort etc to alleviate the inflammation when using an acid and tretinoin on alternate days of course. Nothing helped, until I discovered liquid gold and rewind both from Stratia. Just 1 pump as my last step in the evening is enough. I love it

[@NOBSBeauty]

Some people love mugwort and centella, but it obviously isn't enough for a lot of people with very dry or dehydrated skin. Cannot wait to review the Rewind next!

[@bbsail]

I'd love to try it. I'm happy you talked about preservatives! They are important in formulations.

[@brittanyfletcher434]

Completely agree!! I definitely do NOT want to use anything without preservatives, ew.

[@oldandstillhere]

I use this every day and love it for my sensitive skin. Thanks!

[@TheRealMael]

OMG YOU READ MY MIND!! I needed this review THANK YOU 😭😭

[@NOBSBeauty]

Great minds think alike!

[@BiscuitsMom917]

I have had this on my radar for a while. I'm getting ready to start retin-a again so I think this will be a good addition.

[@chocolantrosa]

This lady has done it all. Every product I ever wanted to try she already has meticulously don the research. She’s amazing I love her!!! I have my eye on this on as my skin is oilier altho not too much, but very sensitive, so I need to combat that while using actives. This one has my eye

[@chocolantrosa]

Also isn’t she looking phenomenal here?!?

[@brittanyfletcher434]

Wow, I totally forgot about this product, and I used up a whole bottle in 2019. Great review! Unfortunately, this did nothing for me, if memory serves, probably why I forgot about it, my face still had peeling and dryness from the hospital air I work in. Have found products that work much better for me. Also, as you probably know, oleic acid is from olive oil, which can actually draw moisture away from the skin.

[@tonibravo4221]

You should try the Belif moisture bomb

[@carolm.4623]

I started using this this week and really loving it.

[@celiareed1402]

Love Stratia Skin! Haven’t tried the Liquid Gold because it’s not vegan, but I’ve heard great things about it! ❤️

[@kelseyLUVSnick13]

This is a very fitting review because this is coming in the mail for me today! Thank you for the detailed review!

[@sunshine9993]

Love it! The best skin supportive product while using strong actives. Also Ali Reed is so sweet and love supporting small brands 💜

[@NOBSBeauty]

The fact that Ali is passionate about skincare shows through in this brand so much. You can tell brands that are founded with passion and how they differ from the big business brands such as Estee Lauder.

[@Suki0428]

Love their Age Rewind serum too!! I haven’t heard anyone talk about this gem. Super calming as an overnight treatment. I sometimes combine it with the Liquid Gold and Kraves Great Barrier Reef. This combo does not cause clogged pores either.

[@kimb4770]

I wanted to love this. The stratia retinol rewind moisturizer was my gem. I had such an instant relief with the Krave great barrier relief that it’s my go too for irritation. Glad to hear your thoughts on this one. 😌☺️😀

[@NOBSBeauty]

It seems like a lot of people prefer the great barrier relief to the liquid gold. I personally love them both. The stratia retinol is a winner for me too. Can't wait to see what else they come out with!

[@Suki0428]

Stratia’s Age Rewind serum is my go-to for irritation as an overnight treatment. A hidden gem.

[@michelc1200]

This top is so nice on you!

[@artgirllovespaint]

Love this one!! For oily skin, this works great at night.

[@pzambetakis]

The liquid gold has saved my skin when had compromised my skin barrier. It a great alternative to Krave great barrier relief!❣️❣️❣️

[@briesullivan883]

Which is better?

[@pzambetakis]

@@briesullivan883 i personally find Liquid gold best for my skin cause of the supporting ingredients i.e niacinamide etc

[@briesullivan883]

[@chrisking6695]

@@briesullivan883 Great Barrier Relief doesn't have the golden ratio of ceramides/cholesterol. It also has more humectants than Liquid Gold. I hated Great Barrier Relief. Tried it once and my skin started itching and breaking out. I have sensitive, dry acne prone skin. Liquid Gold is perfect for me.

[@cobusthuynsma9541]

Received my Liquid Gold last week, OMG!! A truly amazing product:)

[@NOBSBeauty]

So happy to hear you are enjoying it- the founder of Stratia is an amazing person with a keen interest in skincare so this brand was really founded out of passion, which can make the products even better when done by a skincare lover instead of a big business brand!

[@YanderyCho]

I love Stratia Liquid Gold! It’s restored my skin barrier. I like it more than Krave Beauty Barrier Relief. Would love it if you review the whole Stratia brand :)

[@lilmerm8693]

Curious, what was the difference for u? Texture? Etc? One better for dry skin?

[@YanderyCho]

@@lilmerm8693 Liquid Gold is light in texture and it can almost be used as a serum step instead of a moisturizer. Krave Beauty Great Barrier Relief has a thicker consistency. Both are good for dry skin types. You should try both. Hope this is helpful.

[@YanderyCho]

@@lilmerm8693 watch Kelly Driscoll review on Liquid Gold and I think she has a review on the Great Barrier Relief. Found the video she actually compares them kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3aYdoWsjJ59o7c

@@YanderyCho thank u so much!! 😊

[@NOBSBeauty]

Oh yes I've got to do a versus of the two, sounds like some prefer the great barrier relief over the liquid gold. They are both great and you can't go wrong with either. Kelly does a great comparison!

[@rominaceballos3733]

I'm on my second bottle of stratia liquid gold and love how it heals my skin especially on those sensitive skin days. But I think it breaks me out in little pimples or skin starts to get congested so then I have to stop using it ☹

[@moneyonmind2412]

Maybe use once a week? I want to pick it up

[@katieh5604]

I Really want to try this brand but I have Soooo many products in my closet that I still need to use 🤦‍♀️ I'm going to TRY and hold back on picking this up but your review just made it ten times harder lol

Thank you so much for the review. In the evening, you mention using an oil afterwards, what about a moisturiser with the stratia or would that be too much. It’s def on my list of products to buy. Also intrigued by their milk cleanser.

[@jenlikesdogsandperfume]

I find I have to use another moisturizer over this but I have super dry skin. The cleanser is one of my favorites. Great for dry skin

[@aliishaq72]

@@mariapopova129 yeah, big closed comedones and painful.

[@izabeera166]

Breakout might be also because of niacinamide

[@edwynmario5302]

Shame the new one is much more watery and they say no formula change. Looking for other moisturizers any tips?

[@lorainemcgillivray77]

Hi Sarah I really want to try this and some other statia products for my dry, rosacea and eczema prone skin. Shipping to the UK is £15 or around $20 for any order under £125 (around $145), so it's A LOT and really increases the price of this line. I might get it with a few other things, but the shipping has put me off trying it sooner. I think the shipping is excessive tbh - look at geek and gorgeous shipping from Europe to the US - it's a lot less the opposite way. The whole line seems to be targeted at sensitive skin, which is appealing to me. The other issue is it's a lot of coin if my skin reacts to it and if I love it and want to repurchase regularly. That's why I haven't tried it, I hate paying excessive shipping as I know many people do. Best wishes.

[@amiatanamedmichelle5539]

Would this product be good as a follow-up moisturiser for chemical exfoliants? I love using Paula’s choice but I don’t like skipping a night of actives.

[@marylou2722]

Just watched your review on this product. I wanted to love it but my face got so dry and patchy from this. I have very dry, sensitive acne prone skin at 59 years old. My first year back in the NH winter weather so I can't get enough moisture on my face. Maybe I should mix it with something else?

I am using hydration products curel, japanese brand. I really like it and very hydrating!

[@kenleywong9669]

Yes. Yes. Yes. Hear hear. Preservatives are useful. Why? Without them, mold and mildew becomes an issue. I have used a hyped natural baby shampoo body wash combo for a number of years. Then I stopped and used something else to solve a skin issue. After that, I returned back to the same bottle of baby wash and to my disbelief I developed pink - eye. Weird right? Well, I did. And gross. So I still use the same brand. They changed the formula during my use of the one bottle. But I have learned not to keep products for so long.

[@NOBSBeauty]

A few weeks ago I was going through the FDA's Online Reporting and it does seem like natural brands have more issues with mildew and mold, which isn't an issue if the products are used right away, like you mention, but so many people just don't think about it. I wish preservatives didn't get such a bad rap because it is a potential crisis if consumers demonize each and every preservative ingredient we might be left with nothing, and that will mean all of our products will have a shelf life of 2-3 months max.

[@tiffanymaurer3370]

I think you should accept sponsorships from brands/products that you support. I don't think it would make you less trustworthy. What are everyone's thoughts on this? In the end, it would only help her financially to explore more products.

[@hulagirldeedee]

What laser thing do you use? Please tell!

[@Vegard1986]

I bought TWO because of the reviews on Reddit. It contains Ethoxydiglycol and it is very irritating to my skin. Ethoxydiglycol is commonly used in Vitamin C serum, which I avoid due to increased sensitivity. I am not sensitive to ascorbic acid itself just nasty Ethoxydiglycol.

[@brentleonards1735]

How did you come to that conclusion?

[@Vegard1986]

@@brentleonards1735 Because it is the 3rd ingredient and I never had reaction to Skinceuticals Vitamin C (European version) that doesn't use Ethoxydiglycol. I don't have reaction to Vitamin C serums at high concentration suspended in silicone vehicle. Plus my dermatologist concluded that.

[@Vegard1986]

@@Batman-qu9or No because Skinceuticals (US version) and Timeless were the only serums I had reaction. So my derm and I assumed it was the common Vitamin C reaction. However when I tried this moisturizer I had a reaction. I never react to Niacinamide or Rose or Seabuckthorn oil. I am not sensitive to propylene glycol. Furthermore, I tried The Ordinary Vitamin C in silicone and no reaction. I tried powdered Vitamin C and When Hope Is Not Enough serum where you mix two together and I had no reaction.

[@dylanl3623]

I wish they made a version without silicone. This stuff is amazing along with most of their products.

[@chrisking6695]

Why? It's perfect. It prevents moisture loss. Stop drinking the silicon is bad Kool aid. It's a myth.

[@robb4306]

I have acne prone skin but I want this lollll

[@mariapopova129]

Can it cause fungal acne and closed comedones? Cause I really like it but I suspect it caused me acne and the ingredients are not fungal acne safe...

[@NOBSBeauty]

Cetyl Alcohol is probably the big culprit there- some people have skin that this ingredient does not work well with. That would be my guess and the other runner up would probably be vitamin E- which works fine for some people but causes breakouts for others.

[@cassiecandle5950]

Can you recommend any liquid gold alternatives for people with oily acne prone skin?

[@NOBSBeauty]

A lot of people prefer the Krave Great Barrier Relief, which has a fair amount of niacinamide and far less acnegenic ingredients. Still contains a fair amount of ceramides which makes it great for dry or dehydrated skin. I'll do a versus of the two asap!

[@NOBSBeauty]

I've got two that I use and love- for a while they were available at Sephora and Nordstrom, but now they are harder to get and I'm not sure if it's a safety thing or what. The Tria Age Defying Smoothing Laser- www.triabeauty.com/products/smoothbeauty-laser and the other one (this one hurts more!) is the Illuminage Skin Smoothing Laser- it is here- www.amazon.com/iluminage-Anti-Aging-FDA-cleared-Smoothing-Laser/dp/B00RXZHZK8 The Tria doesn't hurt much, just stings a little bit, while the Illuminage does hurt, but is great for lines around the eyes and mouth. I bought both of these about 4 years ago and both are still working just fine. Not sure why the Illuminage became so hard to find, especially in the US, but I think both of them are helping with fine lines and wrinkles and IMO were worth the price hands down.

For night time a good one worth checking out is the Krave Great Barrier Relief Serum- contains niacinamide, ceramides, and skin soothing ingredients. A lot of people really love that one. JJLABS is a brand worth checking out, they have a ton of all-in-one types serums.
