So I somehow ended up blowing my paycheck on “barrier repair” skincare again...

But honestly? No regrets. My skin is sensitive, dehydrated, and prone to randomly breaking out whenever I dare to exist. I thought I’d never escape the cycle of redness and irritation, but these products lowkey changed the game for me.

┗( T﹏T )┛

★ Abib Collagen Eye Patch

Bro, this patch feels like a glass of water for my under eyes. The hydrogel texture stays put (no awkward sliding down your face), and after 10 minutes, I legit look like I got 8 hours of sleep. My fine lines? Blurred. My dark circles? Lightened. I'm already bulk-buying this.

★ Manyo Pure Cleansing Oil

I get the hype now. This stuff melts off sunscreen and makeup like butter, but somehow calms down redness at the same time?? Doesn't clog pores, doesn't sting my eyes. Just pure, effortless cleansing. Plus, my skin feels soft after rinsing, not stripped. This is now my holy grail.

★ Mediheal Madecassoside Cream

Literally S-tier for sensitive skin.

It’s lightweight but crazy soothing. Whenever my skin is irritated, I slap this on and the redness calms down overnight. No greasy finish, no weird film. Just pure Centella magic. My skin barrier is healing, and I’m crying. (´；ω；`)

★ Medicube Cica Pad

This one actually surprised me. The pad itself is super soft (not scratchy like others), and the essence inside is so calming and hydrating. I use this in the morning to soothe redness and prep my skin for makeup. It also gently exfoliates without making me peel.

★ Torriden Solid In Ceramide Lip Mask

Why did no one tell me this is a dupe for the Laneige lip mask but better?? Thick but not sticky, super nourishing, and my lips stay hydrated for HOURS. Been using this every night and my lips haven't cracked once. I'm obsessed.

★★★ Pro Tip ★★★

If your skin barrier is wrecked, try this combo:

1️⃣ Medicube Cica Pad to calm and prep

2️⃣ Mediheal Madecassoside Cream to lock in moisture

Your redness will disappear within days.
