Skinfix earns strong reviews for restoring compromised skin barriers and soothing sensitive, dry, or eczema‑prone complexions; users praise the Triple Lipid Peptide Cream, gel cleansers, and glycolic body scrub for hydration, calm, and visible smoothing. Critiques note heavy, mask‑like textures that can hinder makeup, occasional breakouts from certain treatments, leaky or awkward dispensers, and mixed results on KP and exfoliation efficacy, making the brand effective but not universally ideal.
I really liked skinfix for crating a protective barrier on my skin, especially in the winter when I sometimes get dry patches. It’s gotten the job done and has been a good decision to buy. Until now. I found another brand that works even better! Aestura Autobarrier365 cream. Both work well, but the main difference between them is the barrier itself seems thicker on the skinfix even though they protect evenly. I can apply makeup nicely over Aestura, however don’t if I can help it with the skinfix because I start to feel like I’m wearing a mask. This made me try to only wear it at night. While I have used and enjoyed skinfix in the past, I’m moving on, at least in the face cream. I also have found the Aestura costs much less.
Skin barrier Restoring Gel cream
When opening the skin fix barrier restoring gel cream, for the first time, I noticed it’s a thick cream, but is a little runny, for example, a pudding texture. Skinfix triple barrier peptide cream, instead of the gel, looks like buttercream frosting or whipped cream structure. When I was done feeling the texture, I decided to smell the gel cream, to see if there was a scent. I thought my serum, had no fragrance, but the moisturizer, next to it made it have a scent, proving their statement of no added fragrance. In my opinion, I wish more companies did non fragrance because plenty of people break out due to the skincare product being heavily scented. The jar has a great design instead of taking out the moisturizer with your hand or little spoon, you press down, to get the product out. In my opinion, it is a perfect idea, because it gives you the amount you are supposed to use on your face and not overuse the product, and less messy. I have combination skin, which tends more to the oily side. If you have a skin type like mean, this is perfect for you. I say this because when it goes on the skin, it gives it a light cooling feel, and dissolves quickly into the skin, without sitting on top of the skin. I use the gel moisturizer, I use instead, of the skin fix gel in the morning since that one is a lighter formula and more water-based feeling on the face. That is my preference, you don’t have to use the gel, only in the morning you can also use it at nighttime. I mentioned this because I know some people if their skin, especially on their face gets oily fast, would want a lightweight formula. I know for me if it is hot outside and if the skincare/sunscreen is a heavy formula it will make you feel more uncomfortable throughout the day, that you would just want to wash it off.
The new Ceremide + Ectoin Gentle Gel Cleanser
I am a 32 year old beauty enthusiast living in Arizona. I suffer from dry skin year-round. My dry skin often leads to redness, irritation and flaking. I like that the cleanser is made for dry, dehydrated and dull skin and is able to remove my SPF and makeup. I found that if I am not wearing eye makeup I can get away without needing to double cleanse and my face is completely clean.
The 5oz tube will last a long time! As a gel to foaming cleanser a little goes a long way. I do wish that the packaging was a bit different as I have found the cleanser comes out very quickly when I twist the bottom of the tube and I often get too much product out.
The ingredients in the cleanser really help assist my dry skin. My skin doesn’t hurt, sting or feel tight. The patented B-L3 complex and the ceramides help replenish my skin’s natural lipids and assists with repairing my skin barrier. Ectoin is a new ingredient to me that is also perfect for my skin type because it helps soothe and intensely hydrate my very dry skin.
Thick and super hydrating without that sticky, waxy feel some heavy creams have. It actually calms down redness and cracks fast. I keep one in every bag during the colder months. It's become my favorite nighttime hand cream.
