Know that your efforts are highly appreciated and we can see how much heart you put in your videos, I admire your dedication and hard work and I cannot wait to see your sub count go though the roof . Thank you soooo much for all you do for us you are truly a Gem 🖤🖤🖤

[@KellyDriscoll]

So glad you enjoyed, I agree, more moisture barrier info is really helpful! I especially love that so many brands are addressing it too!

I have spent hours and hours doing research about how to repair my over exfoliated skin and this is by far the best video I have watched on this subject. Just ordered the liquid gold. Thank you 💖

Kelly I started going back to see your old videos. Just wanted you to know that this video is gold! Thanks for sharing this knowledge in a simplified and accessible format. Btw, how did you become so knowledgeable in this area and feel emboldened to share? As far as I’m aware you went to school for theatre. It’s so impressive how you were sharing this valuable information before many derms came onto the platform. And you were doing it with K beauty products. I’m just now discovering that world. Wish I had sooner but hey, I’m glad these videos are still up! God bless 🙏🏽

[@mwoods4608]

I know I totally needed her 6 months ago before I spent 100s on bs!!

[@lollikitteh]

Kelly, thank you. Other beauty bloggers typically recommend a simple, 2 products regime for barrier repair. Whilst it’s not wrong to let your skin repair itself, I feel mine just needs more help. It’s itchy, dry, uncomfortable, which leads to me scratching or touching my face!! You on the other hand, taught us to listen to our skin and not be afraid to slap layers of toners. I don’t have any hydrating toner in hand so I’ve been layering Benton Aloe Propolis Soothing gel under Cerave. Ive also used 1 layer of CosRx 96 snail mucin. I’ve done this since last night, and my god, after I woke up from my nap my skin is plump!!! This hasn’t happened for the past week or two I’ve suffered from broken skin barrier. Im ordering the Rovectin toner and I’m from honey mask you’ve recommended, really want the Rovectin multi oil but it’s sold out everywhere.... :(

[@KellyDriscoll]

I'm so happy this has already helped your skin!! I totally get it, staying minimal is helpful but like you said sometimes your skin just craves more, everyone is different and ultimately our skin is smart, it will tell us what it needs, we just need to learn to listen! Really hope you find some relief with the honey mask and rovectin toner! 💕

[@lollikitteh]

Kelly Driscoll thanks! Unfortunately I found cerave broke me out *sigh* Do you know of other alternatives for really good moisturiser with skin barrier properties?

[@KellyDriscoll]

Rovectin Barrier Repair cream is nice. Hard to find a good cream that's not too oily or full of fragrance but this one is pretty clean!

[@lollikitteh]

Kelly Driscoll thanks for the tip! Just one more question if you don’t mind... what form of Fatty acid and cholesterol should I look in ingredients? They’re not as obvious as ceramides!

[@JoanParker48]

One last request... Any chance of you doing a review on the beet shield?? I've just tried it as of last week, and it's awesome! I love it, I think it's now my favorite one, and my fav used to be the Missha sun milk essence, and then the klairs uv soft essence! I just think you'd love the beet shield as well 😊

I haven't tried it yet! I just did a Krave order and it was sold out at the time! I will have to try it sometime if you compare it favorable to Klairs though!

I can not tell you how much I appreciate the info in this video. My skin has always been oily ( but felt hydrated), and in the past few months it became extremely dry and tight.

Also how long did it take you to heal your barrier?

[@jessicahanson3838]

That Koran toner/essence does have Ceramides, but has Niacinamide which effects so many people differently. My skin was On the up and up and then once I introduced that toner my skin went nuts.

[@sj1605]

Some of these have essential oils and are not safe for skin. The mask and the sunscreen have sensitizing ingredients.

[@glassangel7341]

YOUR VIDEOS ARE AMAZING!!

[@shazarush1527]

First off, I really want to thank you for all of this great information. I didn’t know what was wrong with my skin for the longest time, but you made me realise that a damaged barrier is the problem! However, I’m having a lot of problems finding products to fix this problem because of some allergies I have. I was wondering if you could recommend any barrier repair products that don’t contain Naicinamide, honey or wheat? My skin reacts very badly to these, especially Naicinamide..

[@KellyDriscoll]

Have you looked into the cerave moisturizing cream yet? I believe it does not contain any of those ingredients.

[@ADseasons]

So far I have only found 3 Asian skin care cleansers without essential oils Hada Labo Gokujyun Oil Cleansing, Make P:Rem Low PH Cleanser, KraveBeauty Matcha Hemp Hydrating cleanser. KraveBeauty Matcha and Make P:Rem Low PH Cleanser have citric acid which I rather not have since I occasional wash my face with cleanser in morning if I am using an active at night. Citric Acid is sun sensitive and does not play well with Sunscreen. For those that exclusively water cleanse in the morning citric Acid should not be a problem. But it is a natural exfoliate so can irritate a damaged skin barrier. I am still on the hunt for more cleanser options. I would love to see a video of essential oil free cleansers both oil and water based. The one you listed above P:rem Safe Me Relief Moisture Cleanser ingredients include essential oils : Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Citric Acid, Disodium EDTA, Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Oil, Sodium Acetate, Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Fruit Extract. So that rules that one out for me.

[@KellyDriscoll]

Yes finding fragrance free cleansing options in K-beauty is really hard and as you mentioned Hada Labo, I've often had to go to J-beauty to find totally fragrance free options! (still tough though!)

[@paayelagarwaal8766]

I’ve read so many people said stratia liquid gold irritated their damaged skin skin ... I don’t know why

[@5blindmice507]

You say that "this is the golden ratio".What is that ratio?I was informed that "liquid gold" does not have the right ratio.Stratia uses a blend called SK-INFLUX.In particular, a reddit post elicited a huge response and a good amount of outrage from the community.Optimal molar ratio which ranges from 1:1:1 to 3:1:1 AND these components should be at an optimal concentration of 1-1.6%. In particular, this study seems to support these numbers. Stratia used to make claims about using the optimal ratio (3:1:1) .Can you explain this?

I am so grateful for your channel!! I used retinol, vitamin C and AHA’s for the first time and it damaged my skin.

Will the pores go away?

[@dianatrujillo2987]

Same question: pores still viable and skin and pores are saggy 7 months later

[@deadzone8849]

Diana Trujillo I’m right at a year, small improvements but moving along really slow. Just keeping it simple is probably the best option. I’ve read it could taking anywhere from 14-24 months depending how deep the damage goes. I wish you the best.

[@dianatrujillo2987]

Jay Jay where did you read that?

[@deadzone8849]

Diana Trujillo I read a few cases online, I can try and find them again and send you the link. I also spoke with a dermatologist (Dr. Madalene Heng) who specializes in skin damaged by laser/burns. She explained to me that in some people the skin hangs on to inflammation and it causes the large pores and connecting lines and prickling sensations. Mine happen after using a retinol for 3 days. I made a mistake and used the wrong lotion that contained retinol and didn’t even know. The information I basically got from her was to keep it simple, gentle cleanser, mineral sunscreen, and a light lotion. Nothing else. Don’t jump around to different products, the only thing that can really heal you is time and it takes a good amount of it, 14-24 months. Not really sure why this happens to some and not others though. Sorry you are going through this, I know how much it sucks. Also every site and person I’ve been able to talk to say it took them around 2 years, some 3 years. Hope this helped you in some way.

[@Natalia-ik5rr]

Hi Kelly! But do you use wash-off masks everyday when you are in the shower? I was thinking about it actually, what to do with my skin when I'm having a shower, and your trick seems to be pretty smart, there is just one thing that is bothering me - if you do this everyday, isn't it a bit too much, especially for acne-prone skin? Becaue too "delicate" skincare and too much moisturizing can also cause problems and mess with corneum for example (if it even makes sense in English, but I hope you understood what I meat). Anyway, would love to know your thoughts about it :) xoxo

Very informative and helpful video! I've recently gotten there new toners A'PIEU Cicative Boosting Toner which contains zinc, calcium, and magnesium and the Round Lab Mugwort Calming Toner, which also has madecassoside and the Keep cool bamboo water toner. Do you think those are gonna work for a repairing moisture barrier routine? Haven't tried any of them yet as I'm still trying on the PyungKang Yul acne toner but just got those 3 just got them thinking on their soothing properties for the summer. Definitely gonna follow the in-shower mask recommendations, I actually have those two masks! The honey mask is one of my favorites! I stopped using the cosrx AHA/BHA toner and benzoyl peroxide spot treatment I had prescribed, I was wondering when can I re-incorporate the cosrx toner as it really helps with my closed comedones and whiteheads? Thanks you!

[@KellyDriscoll]

I've only tried the Keep Cool Bamboo Toner and it's really an excellent and gentle choice to help hydrate your skin as you heal! I wouldn't worry about adding the cosrx back until your skin is feeling better because it's most likely going to continue to set you back in your healing process.

Great video. Thank you. What do you think about Pyunkang Yul brand? Have you tried any product from them? I really like their Essence Toner, but have not tried anything else. Do you thing their products could be used for damaged moisture barrier of the skin?

[@KellyDriscoll]

I haven't tried them yet! PKY is good for sensitive skin because of their use of minimal and mild ingredients, however they really aren't going to directly heal your barrier as they don't really contain the ingredients to build up the skin barrier. But they can be a good choice for your hydration steps while healing your barrier just make sure to get your ceramides, fatty acids and cholesterol!

[@renihanifah7350]

Hi Kelly! Thank you for the video. I've been searching for the best method to repair my skin barrier and your video really helps a lot. I got damaged skin barrier presumably because of over exfoliaton. My skin on my neck and around my jaw is really dry, there are redness, dry patches, and it's even itchy when i sweat. I really wanted to try Krave Beauty Great Barrier Relief but hesitated because it's kinda expensive and out of my usual budget, but after watching your video and explanation, i bought the product almost instantly lol. I read about the #PRESSRESET method on krave website and curious what is your opinion about that, as the method suggest us to drop every skincare product we've been using, including cleanser and sunscreen, and only use Krave GBR for a while before adding back our core essentials which are cleansers, moisturizer, and SPF. Thank you!

[@KellyDriscoll]

Everyone's skin is different so you gotta feel it out and do what is best for you. Personally, as someone who deals with a lot of dehydration I can't not have at least a toner and an occlusive moisturizer in my routine to protect my skin (GBR is great but doesn't function as a moisturizer for my skin). But I do generally agree that you should go back to basics/bland skincare.

[@amandasummers7881]

So my moisture barrier is in super good shape and has been for a while. I've always had chronic dry skin, but Its typically always only been dry on the surface. I've never really felt that it was super dehydrated per se. I started tretinoin about a month ago, and have been really buying alot of products to keep my moisture barrier in check, bc Lord knows what could happen once the "purge" from Tret begins. My question is... Can you overdose on moisture? Lol! I just don't want to overdue it with too many barrier products and have it backfire on me!

[@shaynafriedman7462]

Thank you for this very informative video! I’ve been searching everywhere for how to repair my moisture barrier. My one question though is that once you start using these products and heal your barrier, can you go back to your routine you had before repairing your barrier or should you now keep doing this healing routine? Or is there one product that we should always keep in our routine no matter what? Thank you!!

[@shaynafriedman7462]

Also are there any products that you recommend from First Aid Beauty?

[@KellyDriscoll]

Once you're healed up you can absolutely go back, I found that I did lessen how much chemical exfoliation I used (more of a precaution than a rule) and I personally found keeping a ceramide focused product like Liquid Gold has helped my skin stay strong since healing up, but it's not necessary!

[@shaynafriedman7462]

That’s very helpful, thank you so much!! ❤️

hey Kelly ! Great video & really informative. I just wanted to ask how come i am not seeing results.. i have a damage skin barrier due to me over washing my face with a harmful cleanser a year back.. and since then I’ve literally tried everything from dermatologist and facial salons to try and get my skin back.. but nothing works.. it’s always irritated with large pores and over producing of oils on my face.. I’ve been using all the right products and i really can’t see any difference.. Krave Cleanser Krave Toner The ordinary Hyaluronic acid Rovectin cica care balm cosrx sun screen aloe Also i use the ordinary rose hip oils to try and minimize the scaring , recently just ordered the GBR from krave .. No matter what i do , i always get breakouts.. i change my sheets every other day.. wash my hands before ever touching my face . I’m so exhausted and mentally just about to give up.. Basically what I’m trying to ask is , Are there any products that i should stop using and add ? Hopefully you see this .. thank you Kelly !

[@KellyDriscoll]

You may want to stop using the Krave toner, that's the kale one? It has chemical exfoliation in the form of AHA which is really not a great thing to have in your routine when your skin is attempting to heal. I think adding in great barrier relief will help you as well since I really don't seen any products with ceramides, fatty acids or cholesterol which are the building blocks to healing your barrier. I'd suggest stopping the kale toner, replace with a hydrating only toner, add in great barrier relief and just let your skin be for a few weeks, give it the space it need to heal, don't worry too much about acne or oil, those things always improve when you strengthen your barrier. I'm not sure if you've seen this video about how I healed my moisture barrier, but it might be insightful to help you learn more about the healing process! kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2bZY5efbdqMqbM

Kelly Driscoll thank you so much! I will definitely stop using the toner, sadly the toner you recommended on the video is out of stock, I’ll be waiting for them to re stock ! So glad you replied , btw how long did it take for you to repair your skin?

[@KellyDriscoll]

Oh no! I updated the links to include a link to credithink, they are the only stockist for the US of ENS Jin Jung Sung right now, they also are the seller on Amazon, it looks like they are still in stock on their website if you want to give them a try, I really recommend their shop! After I cut out all chemical exfoliation it took about 5 weeks to heal, but before that I was struggling for about 2 months!

[@kennethparlade2618]

Kelly Driscoll thank you! I just ordered! Hopefully i can fix this as fast as you did ! It’s been more than a year for me.

I have very sensitive skin and niacinamide burns on my skin, it feels like impossible to find the right products for me :(

[@KellyDriscoll]

Oh no! Sounds like gentle and hydrating is the way to go, lots of aloe, propolis and centella products will be great for your sensitive skin!

[@ceciliatanaka2180]

I’m pretty sure that I damaged my skin barrier because I used BP gel for 5 months without a moisturizer and sunscreen (idk what the f I was thinking) but I’ve been trying so many things but seems like it’s not changing. My skin is excessively oily where I used BP gel (forehead) and seems like nothing is fixing my oilyness!!!! Help asap

[@cynthiayee5116]

Hi Kelly ! I am just confused with so much, and many great product , just can’t figure out which one will suit my oily skin. I have a rough skin with pores , mark on my face ... I did a review on the ordanary buffet serum. I need your advise and help , about the ordanary buffet serum . Is that good for pores ,...and beside is a bit under my budget ........ thank you

[@KellyDriscoll]

I don't think the buffet serum will do what you are hoping it will. I have not used it personally but I believe it is a peptides serum that is geared more towards anti-aging and the ingredients won't have a huge effect on your pores or dark marks. I would suggest looking into chemical exfoliation like azelaic acid (oridnary has one) to help with the rough texture, size of pores and dark marks. I would also suggest trying a brightening product like Vitamin C or even niacinamide to give your skin a brightening boost. (all available from the ordinary so should be affordable).

[@cynthiayee5116]

Kelly Driscoll Thank you ! I will try to use those products . Your information was very helpful .

Just purchased the rovectin oil and Toner. Hard to get the Great Barrier Relief serum delivered to Australia - will keep looking. 1 Q for you Kellie - how do you know when you moisture barrier is completely healed and it's safe to move on chemical exfoliants?

[@KellyDriscoll]

Check out beauty Box Korea, I know they sell Krave Beauty internationally, not sure about fees but worth a shot! It's definitely a feeling and comfort level that's different for everyone. Signs to look out for is that your skin lasts from morning routine till night without feeling dehydrated, when you wake up does your skin feel like it held its moisture in? If yes, these are signs that your barrier function is starting to work again. I'd advise reintroducing chemical exfoliation slowly (remember your skin has had a long break so you will need to work back up to the levels you used to use). Good luck!

[@JustJay809]

@@KellyDriscoll thanks so much Kelly. No that I'm thinking about it. I can't remember a time when my skin has felt hydrated from morning till night. My skin probably feels hydrated for about 6 hrs until it feels dry all over again 🙁. Thanks for you videos

how do u feel about vanicream lite lotion instead of cerave moisturizing cream ?

[@JsvlPrime]

Great video! very helpful, i am having damaged barrier at the moment and very hesitating to use i'm from Honey mask or Ginseng one as i have oily T-zone. Which one should i choose?

[@KellyDriscoll]

If you want to treat your barrier issues I'd say go for honey! It's far more soothing and comforting to your irritated skin! It also has a touch of benonite clay in it so you don't need to worry about your oily t-zone!

Is isntree hyaluronic acid toner is an okay goner to heal the skin barrier?

[@bigbadcow7726]

Any other cleanser recommendations ?

[@xBabyTranx]

super helpful video! Is a hyaluronic acid serum beneficial when having damaged skin barrier? (skinsceuticals b5)

[@KellyDriscoll]

Hyaluronic acid is an okay ingredient for your moisture barrier, it's really not the best one though. HA doesn't contain it's own hydration, it relies on the air to pull it into your skin. If you haven't seen this one yet kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIPEq3poitiSmq8 I really recommend checking this video about the drawbacks of HA. If you're in a humid climate the skinsceuticals will be fine to use but I'd highly recommend using a watery toner first and lean on that more to provide your skin deep and lasting hydration.

[@krystiankashety2158]

When the moisture barrier is healed, can these products still be used daily?

Hi Kelly. Would the ordinary natural moisturising factors+ HA be good enough? Have you tried it?

[@KellyDriscoll]

I've never tried it. NMF will help, they are one piece of the puzzle, I still recommend having some ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids in your routine as they will make the healing process much easier.

[@maisondav1d]

Do you still recommend that cleanser? Contains some essential oils. So the Stratia is a moisturizer? Did you layer that with the Cerave moisturizer? And the oils... Before or after moisturizer?

[@KellyDriscoll]

I'd suggest the Krave matcha hemp hydrating cleanser if you can get your hands on it, it's fabulous and totally fragrance free! I used liquid gold under cerave moisturizer. Oils can go before or after, I generally prefer before as I feel it absorbs into the skin better but that's just my opinion/experience, either way is fine.

Anyone know the difference between rovectin multi oil and rovectin face oil?

[@KellyDriscoll]

They're different blends of oils and the face oil has more antioxidant properties than the multi oil. Face oil is a smaller bottle about 1oz and the multi oil is bigger at 3oz and is meant to be used on face and body if you want to. Either one is a good choice for barrier care, imo!

Hi - just a question about the stratia liquid gold - it contains a lot of parabens. Parabens are super bad aren't they, everything is going paraben-free because of this... ?

[@KellyDriscoll]

The research on this is very split with some saying yes and some saying no, and by no means is everything going paraben free since natural preservatives actually have caused mold recalls on many, many products. The moderate view (the one I personally adhere to) is that the amount used in cosmetics is nothing to be concerned about and until natural preservation ingredients can be stabilized and not fail and cause mold, I'm for them. Do your own research, though, and follow what your gut tells you and what you are most comfortable with.
