Stratia Liquid Gold with Ceramides, Cholesterol and Fatty Acids FULL SIZE 60ml

Product Information

Growth factors are found throughout the body; they bind to special receptors on a cell to regulate cell division, creation, and differentiation.

I’ve found that this is quite light and sinks into your skin well if you don’t apply too much. It doesn’t drag when you apply it like a more linoleic-rich oil, but also doesn’t feel like it’s dripping off my face either (a bit problem when you’re oily!). It has quite a strong musty oil smell – to me it isn’t unpleasant, but I can imagine it could bother some people. I’ve been mixing a couple of drops with Liquid Gold when my skin feels extra dry, and using it under tretinoin to try to reduce irritation – it’s working really well for both. I’ve also lent this to my sister to help with spironolactone-induced dryness and she loves it too! Those who live in hot, humid weather, I do think should still go for more water-based products (as I think this’ll feel too oily / greasy). Interface is vegan and cruelty-free. All Stratia products are free of common irritants like fragrance, alcohol, and essential oils. rc-container-wrapper .rc-template__legacy-radio .rc_widget__price { position: absolute; right: 0; }

What it’s supposed to do: Liquid Gold is a moisture barrier repair moisturizer/emulsion. (For more info on what a moisture barrier is, see Skin & Tonics excellent moisture barrier post linked in the sources.) Liquid Gold takes your thinned out, red, overexfoliated, stinging, weakened skin and makes it supple, bouncy, strong, and able to tolerate some serious heavy-lifting from acids and actives. It accomplishes all this with the magic of CERAMIDES oooh ahhhh Heptapeptide-15 Palmitate: targets fibroblasts, the dermal cells that generate collagen and elastin (part of a targeting encapsulation system for Copper Palmitoyl Heptapeptide-14)

I know Stratia have really unique formulations and my chances of finding good dupes is going to be difficult. But I want to try, at least for the sake of my bank account. I do think those with oily skins should really keep their routine simple when using this, so the skin isn’t overwhelmed with serums + creamsOkay, but seriously…**everything in this ingredients list is AMAZING. And rightly so, that’s the whole idea behind DIY in the first place: if you make it yourself, you know everything is there for a reason without any fluff or fillers. Lipid Gold, formerly known as Liquid Gold, is a one-stop skin-saving powerhouse moisturizer that belongs in every skincare routine. It’s formulated with ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids, the three main ingredients that make up your skin’s moisture barrier, to keep your face healthy, clear, and resilient. Sh-Oligopeptide-1: also known as Epidermal Growth Factor, it stimulates growth of skin cells in the epidermis to strengthen the skin And another 5-star review says, “This stuff is FABULOUS, I just got done with almost a year on accutane and my skin is so dry and so sensitive, and this stuff is like butter, it brightens my skin, and makes it so incredibly soft it’s unbelievable. I hooked two of my best friends and my mom on it, they are equally as pleased.”

Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Mandelic Acid, Propylene Glycol, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, Panthenol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Matricaria Recutita (Chamomile) Flower Extract, Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Allantoin, Sodium Hydroxide, Diazolidinyl Urea, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate. Stratia Velvet Cleansing Milk Rewind is really light andsuper hydrating, with a heavy dose of my favourite humectant glycerin, as well as hyaluronic acid and tamarind seed. In addition to niacinamide and DMAE, it also has antioxidant/anti-inflammatory licorice and Centella extracts. I’ve found that it’s great for making my skin look smoother and plumper, and works overnight as well as under sunscreen. The lightness means it doesn’t add much to your skin in terms of layering, so it’s easy to incorporate into your routine without feeling like you’ve slopped too much stuff on your face. It has a very light and inoffensive smell.

Rose Hip Oil: High in oleic and linoleic acids, both of which are polyunsaturated fatty acids important for the integrity and regeneration of skin cell membranes. More moisture barrier magic going on here, my friends. Stratia says:”Those with normal to oily skin may find Liquid Gold is moisturizing enough to be their only moisturizer, while drier skin types may want to follow it with a heavier cream.”– I totally agree with this statement!- I think oily skins would find this perfectly fine as their PM moisturiser (keep the routine relatively short as it might all feel too much with a buttery product like this sealing everything on top as well). Dry skins – I think may use this as a first moisturiser with another second moisturiser. Lipid Gold is a one-stop skin-saving powerhouse that belongs in every skincare routine. It’s formulated with ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids, the three main ingredients that make up your skin’s moisture barrier.

I truly do love the brand, but I need to really look at my skincare budget.
