HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- The two barrier treatments I always recommend are Stratia Liquid Gold and Krave Great Barrier Relief. And you always ask me, which one is better?
That's too difficult a question to answer! But we can break them down, side by side and compare them to see which one is the best for you! So let's talk about the ingredients, price, size, accessibility and of course, which one is better for healing a damaged moisture barrier!

Something other than skincare, I think you might be a ”dark winter ” or dark autumn and I think you look so vibrant with your natural hair color. The contrast with your skin really brings out your features and makes your skin look really vibrant ❤
I am 42 and have dry, sensitive skin on top of aging skin. I damaged my barrier so severely by over exfoliating. I credit Stravia in saving my skin.After about a month of twice daily applications my skin is stronger. Oh and I use retinol every day...no problem whatsoever. Hope it helps someone.
Kinda interested in getting Krave's Great Barrier Relief. I love Liah Yoo...
Do you continue to use or were you using the Stravia while you were incorporating retinol? Wonder if kinda helps cushion the retinol in terms of harsh effects.
@@gianninal5455 I used Stravia 1st to repair my compromised acid mentle. Than when it's better i started incorporating retinol. I cushion the effect of retinol by applying it after my moituriser. Did that for about 6 months before applying it directly on my skin on the serum step. It has been 3 years and no problem. Hope it helps
Would love to hear some updates if you have purchased that Krave Beauty GBR 🤗
@@maricii33 hi Mai. I have not purchase Krave's GBR so I cant comment on that. I use stravia
Your comment was very helpful. I will be entering 40 soon...so I am no looking for a product to help with hormonal cystic acne/oily/sensitive skin on top of my aging. 😊
I willdo more research om this product as well 🌺
My Stratia Liquid Gold finally arrived. OMG! I absolutely love it is such an unique product. I literally can't see my life without this truly a very amazing product.
How’s it been on your skin now?
@@moneyonmind2412 My view on this hasn't changed it really is a very high performing product. My skin looks brighter and really healthy. Thought it might be to oily as I got oily dehydrated skin but it seems to be just right even with a moisturiser over the Liquid Gold. So nourishing for my skin:)
@@cobusthuynsma9541 ah I got dry and dehydrated skin with acne lol it sounds like a good product for sure I might pick it up . I’m waiting on my moisturizer to arrive first so I can test that out then will
Look into this one👍
I came here thinking that I will let this video decide for me which one I should get, either Stratia or repurchase GBR, and left deciding that I want to just get both. I highly agree that I found myself finding that I just go to GBR whenever I find any signs of irritation (not necessarily fully damaged barrier) and it does a miraculous job of immediate healing within the day, but Stratia's ingredients are amazing and great to have in hand for when needed. Thanks for the video!
You definitely helped me decide…BOTH! 😂❤️ Thanks for excellent, fun content Kelly! ☮️💕
Kelly, I watched every minute of this video. As always, you educate us in making informed decisions. I appreciate you!
Judy, thank you so much! I'm really thrilled to know these videos help you make the right product decisions! ❤
Anyone else believe it is unfair how underrated kelly is on youtube? We need to hack this algorhythm!
Her deep dives are so helpful and no one else compares.
Would you mind to compare and contrast stratia and GBR to the RNW ceramide and peptide serum?
Me
Most underrated face care video on RUclips!!
I have both and they work well together for my damaged moisture barrier! 👍🏾
Are you going to do a would you rather episode with the different mugwort essences?!
Yes, stay tuned this month!
I’m SUPER late to this party but I love and enjoy using both!
Thank you, dear, for this review! I've been contemplating for quite a long time which should I buy. Thank you for helping me decide and delve deep into these products! Sending love from the Philippines~ ❤️❤️❤️
I have fungal oil and unfortunately barrier relief triggered that I’m currently using liquid gold and I can’t vouch that it has improved my skin so much!! I just wish the packaging was better
Stratia LG is amazing for skin barrier and therefore acne prevention
I’m re ordering liquid gold
Yass, I had to reorder it too, so good!
For me Stratia smells like Seabuckthorn and the Rose Hip together. If you've ever used The Ordinary Rose Seed Hip Oil, it kinda smells like that.
AlohaDiana yes! Right! not really loving the smell actually...but you nailed it - exactly what it smells like!
Such a well-researched and thorough comparison. You're a wonderful speaker. Thanks for all the info, it really helped :)
How long did/does it take for you to repair your skin barrier using Stratia Gold?
Great video after seeing your product recommendations I finally understood why my skin was just not getting the moisture and hydration it needed!duh my moisture barrier needs repairing. I used to be much heavier and I sweated a lot .... so I think in time I just depleted my skins natural moisture barrier just par for the course! Anyways your videos really really help people thanks so much !
This was really helpful! Have just purchased Great Barrier Relief to support my use of adapalene based on your review. Thank you!
B3 at 4% works against acne and pigmentation as well
This was the best comparison, thank you so much!!
*My Hill To Die On*
Liquid Gold: Thin Lotion
Barrier Relief: Fat Serum
LG is better imo if you’re going to be using it on your neck as well. It needs that extra oomph that Stratia gives. If you only use strong active ingredients on your face then either/or is best
Snatch up two Stratia last night at 2AM. Thank you
Thanks for this video Kelly! I was curious about Great Barrier Relief but am loyal to Stratia Liquid Gold. This golden product keeps my skin in amazing shape. I also use rewind since I am 53. This helps me so much !
Based on how much you always mention Stratia in the past year or so, I would say the winner is Stratia Kelly:) I'm seriously thinking of purchase Stratia for myself.
when my barrier was damaged af, the Krave burned tf out of my skin lol plus i dont love the smell
Highly informative and well articulated. You did a very good job on this video and you should be proud of the content you’re creating! New subscriber here 😊
This is just what I needed! Ive been thinking of getting either of these and Im torn
What about some other barrier products ? Soon Jung barrier cream? First Aid Beauty barrier cream? Cerave Cream? Thanks
My moisture barrier is damaged presently.
I was using, Neutrogena hylauronic Acid( which does wonders for my skin) Vitamin C, cerave cream, sunscreen during the day. At Night I used the above items, minus Vitamin C, alternated days with Curology (.009 Tretinoin, 2% Niacinamide, 2% Tanexamic ) and lactic Acid on different days and was fine with this for several months.
I recently increased my Curology percentages, and with just one use, my moisture barrier was damaged. I stopped Curology, Vitamin C, lactic Acid for one week and was fine. I added Krave moisture barrier relief and Cosrx rice mask to my skincare during the week that I took a break and my skin did heal.
I resumed Curology again, no other acids, and again my skin is dehydrated.
I am starting menopause, have dry skin and sun spots, so stopping Curology is not an option. Do you think that “Stratia Liquid Gold” will help and allow to continue using Curology?
Did you try? I'm also in curology for tret, and my skin is constantly dry even if it's been 5 months since I started!
@@jessyca9833 I did try Stratia Liquid Gold ,it was soothing but not moisturizing enough for my dry skin. This is my current day routine that helps with dryness:
Morning: Wash with water. I’m from Honey mask ( 10 minutes), Bamboo Toner, Mugwort Essence, Stratia Vitamin C, Timeless CoQ10, Aveeno Calm and Restore humectant, Cerave Cream, 3 drops of Near Perfection Oil by Plant Therapy.
Nightime: Is the same as the morning excluding Honey Mask and vitamin C.
I apply Curology 20 minutes after moisturizing.
@@jessyca9833 For reference, I am 51 and have had dry skin since my late twenties. Now that I am 51, my skin is extra dry, peri menopause ( estrogen dive) caused it to be dryer.
@@MaggieFrett thanks so much for the info!! I'll look into some of the products you mentioned, I also had a feeling Stratos wouldn't be enough. I've been so dry and California is so dry too. Sometimes my cheeks are burning just because it TEWL, no matter the moisturizer I put on!
@@jessyca9833 you are welcome. One other thing that I forgot to mention is that the serums that I use in the morning provide antioxidant protection from the sun, and I do spend a lot of time in the sun. Additionally, I use sun protection every morning and reapply every 2 hours when outside. If I am inside I apply in the morning and once in the afternoon before I run errands. Sunscreen wise I like Verdio Sun Essence as it is hydrating. I also like several of Elta MD’s sunscreens: UV clear, UV Elements (tinted) and UV Physical (tinted). Eucerin Physical SPF 30 is also not drying sunscreen and very inexpensive.
So informative, as always. Thank you
I’m intrigued that you use retinol. What one do you use? Have you done a video on it?
Hi! I watch I all videos as you post and love them!
What about collagen products And how does collagen benefit the skin?
Thank you so much, it means the world to me to know you enjoy them!💕Collagen is really not a great ingredient to apply topically in skincare products because it absorbs poorly into the skin, and as we know it has to absorb to be effective at the deeper level for us! Using products that *stimulate* your body's natural collagen production is a much better way to get that collagen going in your skin! To name a few, Vitamin C, retinol, centella and niacinamide in percentages of 4% and higher have this ability!
Thank you thank you..!
I have been using some collagen products myself and have noticed they don't worknso great. I have been looking for another product to substitute those 2 products.
Kelly, you are sooo informative! 👌🏼
This video is a 10/10!! Thank u 💌
Hi Kelly I just received the Jin Jung Sun face and eye cream, im using that right now for my barrier relief and i really love it, just wish it contained cholesterol, doesn't appear on their ingredients list at all.
It comes in the form of the squalane used, it's a cholesterol precursor!
Kelly Driscoll Oh wow really? Thank you i didn't know that!!!!! Love your videos so much😊
It's pretty cool, I only learned that recently! Glad you're enjoying the face and eye cream, it's jam packed full of some awesome ingredients!
Once again. Another great and informative video. My question. Not sure if u covered it. What step in skin care routine would u use stratia?? Thx for all u do!!!
So glad this was helpful for you! I use stratia and krave just prior to my moisturizer.
Late to the party. I have both. I wish my face liked liquid gold but it won't cooperate 😔 I use it on my body after scrubs and it's a dream in that regard!
Not sure if you did a vid on this but can you do a review on the 3 ingredients ; ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids. Some derma geeks might be interested in it!
Thanks for all the great videos, didn’t know what to do after I damaged my moister barrier from retinol. Large pores with connecting lines, constant burning/itchy forehead. I’ve been using liquid gold on its own for about 2 weeks and see a slight difference. Do you recommend applying something on top of LG like Vaseline? Thanks again for your help!
You're so welcome, really happy to hear you're seeing improvement! I usually use a moisturizer with liquid gold, often cerave but you can use anything you like!
Jay jay this happened to me too!! It’s been 1 year since retinol damaged my skin and I still have visible pores and connecting lines when I smile on my cheeks. Did you ever heal from this because it’s very depressing.
These both sound amazing. I’m currently using the Omega + Complex Serum by Paula’s Choice and really do like it. I would, however, like to give one of these a go when my PC runs out.
Random question...Do you have any favorite bb creams, etc, sold on YesStyle? I usually opt for a light skin like/radiant formula. Matte formulas don’t suit me well.
Thanks, love🍃🌸
That PC's looks very good! I don't have much experience with BB creams but I recently picked up the Tony Moly Luminous Goddess Aura BB and I really like how it makes my skin look without the weight of foundation!
Kelly Driscoll I’ll have to look into that. Thanks, Kelly:)
And yes, the PC Omega + Complex Serum is really nice. It’s so smooth and lightweight. Layers beautifully. Another product I’ve been loving from PC is the new Power Berry Serum. It too has a lovely, lightweight consistency that layers well. Tons of great ingredients. PC’s actually having a sale plus free shipping on everything, I believe.
Great job on this review
I have been using the great barrier relief for over a year now. But I have been thinking of adding liquid hold for night (I am pale).my wallet does NOT thank you, but I do lol!
Which one is good for oily, acne prone skin? My skin hates too much "moisture" and it gets greasy slick. It's really hard to find a product that is a good balance of moisturizing but not too moisturizing to breakout.
both of them are good but i don't think using these in mornings bc they will make your skin look very greasy so probably better using these products at night is the best way to go.
@@tariszn1 Thanks for the tip!
Stratia
Hi Kelly I use epionce barrier relief with a pai cleanser, my skin barrier has been damaged for around 2months now but these products are definitely helping I’m looking to purchase Stradia after your review, would you say it’s ok to use the Stradia with the epionce or try it on its own.
I really would like to buy one of these products but I do suffer with cyst and acne but I have dehydrated skin. which would you recommend is safe to use?
Gbr
GBR (krave) has helped me a lot with my acne, and it sounds like we have similar skin. I use it at night with a cerave moisturizer on top!
Thank you for your informative review. Already subscribed :) and ordered stratia. Tks
Which sunscreen do you recommend for people who have a broken skin barrier?
What am I doing wrong? I've been using stratia for 3 weeks and i still have the oily and flakiness of a broken skin barrier :(
Do you top it off with an occlusive moisturizer?
What face wash are you using? Are you avoiding TEWL?
hi kelly..review on Missha Revolution please! thanks
Yasss, I used it years ago and loved it! I want to reorder it soon because I have some content ideas in mind around it!😉
Which would you use for well aging?
What cleansers/moisturizers do you recommend? I don’t know if you’ll see this, but a person is struggling to heal her barrier.
I’m currently using Oat So Simple Water Cream, but I don’t think it’s doing much.
Wch lipstick r u wearing?? Nd cud u plz do a video on ur fav moisturizers/ products 4 winter??
Any recommendations specifically geared towards tretinoid treatment? I'm at 5/6 months, but my skin is constantly dry. Living in the dry hot California might not help. Any recs between GBR and LG?
Kelly!! ❤️❤️❤️Love your detailed and thorough reviews on all products. I have been trying a lot of products that you recommend and they have been working really well for me. Thank you 😘 Would you recommend adding stratia fortify to liquid gold for night time use for dry, dehydrated but acne prone skin? I want to try stratia liquid gold as krave GBR did not work for my skin unfortunately.
Thank you! It's so good to hear that my recommendation have worked well for you! I've been using both in my routine with good success! I usually mix fortify with the Iunik beta glucan serum but I've heard lots of people do mix liquid gold and fortify directly! 💕
Tried both and loved both as well! Great video btw, I’m a new subscriber. My skin is dry and prone to dehydration as well, do you have recommendations on good, thick, occlusive moisturizers? Thank you 😊
Hey, thanks for the sub!! I actually really love cerave moisturizing cream for those extra dry days and laneige cica sleeping mask is also a buttery and comforting dream!
Camelia P use sweet almond oil
Everyone was raving about Krave Beauty and I just had to purchase the Great Barrier Relief for my dry skin despite the price! I thought it was okay but I wasn't impressed. Love the texture and smell but unfortunately didn't notice any difference in my skin.
Omg this is what I need😍
It’s very extremely hot and humid where I live, will a I be able to get away with the oiliness using the great barrier relief day and night? Would love to hear from anyone who has tried 🙏💕
If you're using it without an additional moisturizer Krave is pretty light! But I have normal-dry skin and live in a cold dry climate so I might not be the best person to give advice lol. I use the Krave at night with an additional moisturizer on top and it's helped my acne quite a bit!
Is the Inkey List Ceramide night treatment any good?
Liquid gold sounds like it would be amazing but as a vegan, I’m afraid to ask the source of the cholesterol.
Have you tried Paula's choice omega + serum?
I haven't had the opportunity to try any PC products yet, but would love to some day!
@@KellyDriscoll I'd be interested to hear your take on it. It has 5 different types of Ceramide's in it. PC is currently having a sale on it
That’s what I’m actually using, and really do enjoy it.
Great content, thanks Kelly. I have RP Stratia many times and am yet to try Krave as i love Stratia so much and also use a pure Tamanu oil, which i adore the scent of lol. 2 Q for you Kelly- Is it true that any ingredient listed after phenyoxanethanol/parabens/preservatives is in such small quantities they are not functional? Thinking of Cerave! In Europe the inci list is always in the % but i believe the US is not the same? For my fellow English and European sisters, check out a brand called Ceramol 3-1-1 sold on Amazon and several European pharmacies. It has that golden ratio! xox
Ceramol sounds really interesting, might need to see if I can easily get a hold of it here in the states! We usually don't list the ingredients in percentages here which can make things tricky! Generally the ingredients listed last are used in the lowest percentage of the total formula. The preservative ingredients are almost always used in percentages much lower that 1% so that would mean anything after is typically used in lesser amounts. I wouldn't necessary consider those ingredients ineffective (every ingredient plays it's part) but if the product in question is, say, a honey product and you see honey as the last or second to last ingredient, it's annoying and probably not doing much! 😂
@@KellyDriscoll Thank you so much for the clarification. I really appreciate the time and effort you put in your vids and that they are research led. I was thinking about the Cerave moisturisers in particular with the ceramides. On the UK version they are last lol ( or not funny really given the brand is sold on that basis). I got my Ceramol on Amazon and they do ship international, but whether you get stung with customs charges or not i don't know how it works there. It is the only skincare product i have found that is still on my face in the morning, and i have a large skincare collection inc night sleeping masks :/ xox
Oh weird! My cerave moisturizing cream orders the ceramides in the middle of the list! They also use a diverse mix of ceramides which I always appreciate. They definitely don't have as much as the liquid gold!
can you still use something like the dermological daily microfoliant (a few times a week) to help with texture issues/peeling under makeup while trying to restore your moisture barrier?
If I were you I would wait. Repairing your skin barrier will help with your other issues. Any type of exfoliating on a damaged or compromised barrier is risky! Jmo
Krave beauty has not helped my skin but did made it more sensitive
Can we use both one in evening and one in morning??
Yes, you could alternate them if you wanted to!
Do you have to stop all exfoliating treatments forever? Or just until the barrier is fully repaired?
Start back slowly for sure
I think it depends what type of exfoliant you are using, the bigger the molecule the better for sensitive skin but be aware that you won’t get results as quickly. I’d say try PHAS for shedding dead skin cells at the surface. I’m not sure about bha (salicylic acid) to treat more blackheads that penetrate the oils in your pores and help w eliminating extra sebum/oil. I know inkey list has a pha toner and glow recipe has a watermelon pha toner that is very hydrating and soothing. According to Paula’s Choice blog, bhas are soothing to the skin. Also, be aware of the pH of products if they disclose it or you can ask the brand directly because the lower the pH the more likely it can irritate your skin. Maybe wait a little bit more until you are confident in trying exfoliating ingredients that I listed above. Definitely stay away from glycolic acid for now because it ha the smallest molecular size out of all the AHAs, mandelic acid will be your friend and again, try PHAS. Good luck to you and your skin care/barrier repairing journey.
-from a girl that loves skincare on the internet ☺️
Wait... What makes liquid gold golden? 😂 I'm looking for a cream or serum that mimics the moisturizing properties of earwax. Sounds crazy, I know, but I put my own earwax on a couple eczema patches on my inner elbow. The patches have healed about 80%. I'm flabbergasted. But I'm looking for a professionally made product that does the same thing without being *gross.* Like socially acceptable earwax.
Golden ratio between ceramides cholesterol and fatty acids ?! 🤩
Ok I looked up the golden color. Sea buckthorn oil. Just a happy coincidence it looks like earwax lmao.
Hey Kelly love this video ❤️ i have stratia liquid gold and enjoying it,and looking forward to fortify ❤️ waana ask your barrier is completely healed up ? Please suggest good Hydrating Cleanser please ,i am in need of a good cleanser ,not a foaming one
Hey, glad to hear liquid gold is working well for you! Yes my barrier is healed up but I'm prone to dehydration and sensitivity so I find keeping barrier fortifying products in my routine really helps keep it healthy! My favorite hydrating cleanser right now is Krave Matcha Hemp, so gentle but still cleans well!
@@KellyDriscoll thank you so much ❤️
Did you put a moisturizer over these products?
I use a moisturizer over the GBR at night, if you have oilier skin it might be better to use them alone though.
Stratia increased their price.. 27.00
Can you please review Primera from Amorepacific new at Sephora
I've got their miracle seed essence on my wishlist!
I need to repair my barrier, but I have very pale skin so I’m worried about the yellow tinting from liquid gold. Would these products still repair my barrier properly if I were to use GBR during the day and liquid gold at night?
You can definitely rotate the two, you'll still get good results!
Do you think I would get good results if I were to use only liquid gold only once a day at night?
I just got both lol
at my location I can't get my hand on any of those two XD
I have a question! I just order both of these and I’m currently using cerave pm, followed by just a bit of Clinique moisturizing lotion (cheeks only-that’s where my skin is damaged) and tamanu oil. I do want to eventually stop using the cerave because I don’t like the ingredient change they just did. How can I work one of these products into my routine? And what’s a good moisturizer for a damaged barrier but also rosacea skin?
Just in my own personal experience, the la roche posay toleriane line of moisturizers for sensitive skin works fantastic on my rosacea skin and I have the same situation where it's really just concentrated on the cheeks. Even when I have a flare up and seemingly everything can sting, they don't sting or aggravate. I use the Double Repair Face Moisturizer when I need a thick repairing moisturizer, and the Ultra Soothing Repair Cream for everyday and to go under make-up. I also use their Ultra Night Soothing Repair a few nights a week.
These with Great Barrier Relief are a really nice combo for me. I haven't tried Liquid Gold but I recently got GBR and my skin seems to be loving it -- first time I tried anything with tamanu oil, wow!
volta1228 thank you so much for responding! Because I’ve actually been looking into the LRP toleriane line but I haven’t done it just because there’s an ingredient called “ammonium” and it makes me wonder if it’s harsh like ammonia? Lol idk
Can we both use at same time??? or first use stratia and after some mnths use krave???
I wouldn't recommend using both products in the same routine as it could easily be too rich for skin! You can certainly alternate them as you like!
Can I get both?😂
Would it be too much?😅
Do you use Fortify with LG?
Yes, I've actually been mixing it straight into LG with good results! It's a rich combo so I often reserve it for night only!
What about CeraVe PM vs Stratia Liquid Gold?
It doesn't have the same ceramide content as stratia!
@@KellyDriscoll Thank you! This has made me think twice about whether I should splurge on Stratia. 😅
So the Cerave wouldn't work as a barrier repair cream?
Sending u ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤 from Malaysia 😘
Thank you!!! Sending love back! 💗
I started Invisalign, on the 2nd tray now. Happy so far. You might consider it for you as well
Which one of them is better for acne prone skin dear?
The Krave has 10% tamanu oil which some report can help with acne, both have high percentages of niacianamide.
Stratia breaks me out. I've tried it a few times with the same result. GBR does not, so for me it is actually better
CrI wir
Stratia has parabens 🤦🏻♀️
That's not a problem, parabens are one of the safest preservatives..
Parabens aren’t bad for you. Don’t give into the fear mongering “natural” side of the skincare community, we need preservatives in our products or else they’ll go bad.. yuck
