![]() I also noted that it contains Squalane which is olive derived, and I’ve worked out that my skin does not take kindly to olive derived oils so it could be that too!) Jart Ceramidin but I am not 100% sure as it could just be a coincidence. (I suspect Ceramides, because I also break out from Dr. When I stopped using this, I stopped breaking out. Because I don’t break out much anymore, I knew it was to do with something I was using. Yet, for some reason, I was getting spots. This is odd, because I am very used to using oil-based products, which help my skin a lot. I found that regular use caused me to break out. I was really happy with it, and to whoever who asked me back then, I said it was a wonderful, fairly affordable moisturiser that did amazing things for dry, dehydrated and irritated skin. I am comfortable using it in the day (about half a pump) but most people won’t, unless you are comfortable with a more “dewy” feel on your skin. I will warn you that the texture is a touch heavy, and will not appeal to everyone. I enjoy how it sinks into my skin and just quite literally plumps it up, and smoothens and soothes it as it goes. In terms of moisturising my skin and helping it recover from dryness or dehydration or simply irritation due to over-exfoliation, this product is quite stellar. I have used it both in the morning and in the evening – I use less in the morning and a little more in the evening. So, this is another reason why you may want to use in your evening routine, as opposed to your morning routine. I do also note that the bright yellow colour can show up on very fair or pale skin tones. If you have oily skin, it will feel too heavy. It does have a rather strange scent, and does feel heavier on the skin (oily skins please take note!), but it moisturises skin beautifully! For this reason, while Stratia Liquid Gold can work for all skin types, I’d suggest it for someone with drier or dehydrated skin. The bright yellow colour comes from sea buckthorn oil, which is an ingredient I like in moisturisers. A strong skin barrier will slow down loss of moisture from your skin, which helps dry and dehydrated skin stay moisturised. All these ingredients are well researched and well documented to help improve and protect your skin barrier. It contains, as its key ingredients, ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids and niacinamide. What makes the Stratia Liquid Gold stand out as a product, is not only the bright, cheery yellow colour, but its ingredients. ![]() However, the directions also say that it can be used as an overnight mask, if you apply a thicker layer at night. ![]() I have had this quite many months now, and I think I have formed my view :)įirst, the Stratia Liquid Gold is formulated to be a moisturiser. I was naturally quite curious, and quite excitedly gave this a go when it arrived. Stratia must be, because I know of many people who hail the Liquid Gold as holy grail! It isn’t about having 300 products to sell, it is about having some and doing them well. While this isn’t uncommon today, they aren’t as pretentious as many other brands out there *coughTheOrdinarycough* :P They also don’t have very many products in their range, which I’m fine with. Stratia is a brand of skincare from the USA focused on science based ingredients. Shipping is a flat rate direct from the website, so it made sense to share the order and save on shipping. When a friend asked if I might want to hop onto her order for a bottle to try, I jumped at it. ![]()
