I totally agree, I catch my skin barrier getting hurt pretty early so it is not as bad as it was yours but it is damaged, I have literally stopped using any chemical/physical exfoliations, Vitamin C and have never used Retinol so phew saved there. I would also advice anyone reading my comment is to also avoid salicylic acid based cleansers. They are good but when your skin barrier is damaged, they would contribute more. Also use Ceramide and Centella based creams, they are super soothing.

I was about to damage my skin barrier. Thanks to your videos. These saved me ❤️

Have you ever damaged your skin barrier?

Yes! I used a dermaroller and every needle prick became inflamed 😭 not a good look for my job the next day 🤦‍♀️

I did the same things you did. I applied a thin layer of grapeseed oil in place of my daytime moisturizer. Healed up so fast!

i damaged it too with retinol, but i was exfoliating my skin and it looked worse with a few breakouts here and there, there were dry flaky red patches and angry looking skin throughout

Thank you 🙏

Thank you very much!

Yeah it happened or specifically worsened after using loreal revitalift retinol serum on my chest and neck. My chest is now fine but my neck still itches doesnt help that I have eczema and sweating irritates my skin and I sweat a lot. Cicaplast baume is great but I also like Bepanthen's ointment and cream.

This is so helpful, I still can’t figure out how I damaged mine but I have the driest under eyes and it makes me look at least 10 years older plus it’s so tight and uncomfortable😣 def trying some of these products out!!!

yes i used niacinamide twice a day and im currently trying to recover 😅

I damaged my skin barrier by using tea tree oil twice daily....ughhh acne went away with my protective layer 😵

I'm always damaging my skin barrier and suffering from irritation. To help, I just a gentle hydrating cleanser and a hydrating moisturiser.

Got addicted to the drunk elephant retionol. Used it everyday. My moisture barrier took like a year to recover and EVERYTHING irritated my skin even though I simplified and moisturized all the time. Needless to say, I learned my lesson.

I damaged the skin barrier under my eyes when I found out (the painfully hard way) that I was allergic to the metallic paint on my eyelash curler. I've come a long way since then (9 months ago), but I'm still suffering from terrible dryness that seems to manifest itself anytime I wear makeup. Even with a 6 step hydrating moisturizing routine, I still have so many fine lines around my eyes and I'm not even 20 yet! Any recommendations for sensitive skin???

I used Aveeno Brightener cleanser and it DESTROYED my face. It was bleeding and I have huge set in wrinkles now 😢

idk why my skin is samaged, i never used any kind of those products and it is DEFINETLY not as bad as yours but its slightly red with small pimple like dots on it and im not sure if its damaged or not can someone tell me?

I accidentally used retinol with a recently bought moisturizer which i didn't study the ingredient carefully. Now i regretted switching products and buy just anything for the sake of cheaper price. Lesson learned 🙌💰

My skin started flaking after i started using new products, thought it was just the winter drying it out and because of the flaking i wanted to exfoliate it, lucky i googled it first and just washed the area with lukewarm water and followed up with a moisturizer and vaseline

I’m using salicylic acid cleanser twice a day to reduce acne n end up damaging my skin barrier tf WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? Die?

how long til you can start using that stuff and how will you know if your skin barrier is healed

My skin is so really sensitive and super dry while I'll having a vitiligo skin issues that's why is not easy for me to try all of this...now ber months in my country I have more bumps and my skin is so rough in my right side on the face and the others side of my face is soft and oily.😥

So I got recommended PanOxyl cleanser so I just bought the moisturizer to and the moisturizer within a day took out my skin barrier

I was about to start with retinol. Would you say I shouldn't maybe? (I was going for the Paula's choice Retinol) I started skincare 2020. And I have the same routine since then. At first my skin got A LOT better but now I'm struggling with outbreaks again. My routine is pretty gentle. Pretty much just the ordinary hyaluronic acid and niacinamide and zinc. And CeraVe cleanser and moisturizer.

That's y the always say give your skin a break, two days of just applying sunscreen is enough.

How long did it take to fix?

I have that kind of problem on my skin rn

Can we use 2% w/w glycolic acid facewash daily in damaged skin barrier?.....plz plz suggest me any face wash..

Hey if we use a gentle cleanser , then is it enough to remove the multiple layers of sunscreen that we apply during the day?

My skin barrier has been damaged for several years and i had no clue !! How long will it take to heal?

I'm using Avene .. the product u shared with us last time 🥰

I damaged my skin barrier. I have two culprits. The new scinic first treatment essence since i just used this for 2 weeks or the benzoyl peroxide i put on my small acne in my chin. My whole jaw and lower cheek was itching and it burns. I have a feeling its the benzoyl peroxide but i only used it on my chin but my whole jaw and lower cheek itches. Is that possible?

is it okay to just wash my face just with water in the morning?? my face is so oily especially when i wake up 😭😭 someone pls tell me how to deal with this skin barrier issues, im still in high school and im so insecure with my so dull and dry skin. when i apply anything like sunscreen, moisturizer and stuff my skin felt like burning :(

After skin is restored is it okay to go back to using chemical exfoliants?

Can we shave when we have damaged skin barrier?

I used glycolic acid everyday now it’s damaged 😢

Did your skin feel mushy? Mine feels like there is liquid underneath.

I have none of above 🎉🎉

I damaged my skin barrier with hyderquinone

Yup too much too soon. Destroyed my skin, thanks the Ordinary and K-beauty. So went from sensitive combination skin, to sensitive Rosacea fungal acne skin! Hard learned lesson: “you don’t need all that extra, and fancy crap that every skintuber tries to sell you, wether it’s a serum, toner or exfoliant”! Never had issues or acne prone skin. Now I have breakouts regularly and not just my face, but body too. If I could just turn back time,I’d stop buying more products everyone recommended on YouTune, and just stick to what I used before which was minimal: moisturizer, and face mist…

The skin fix multi peptide cream irritates my skin

I have the same....still I didn't treat it...i have wrinkles

You’re 17 years old why do you need SO MANY PRODUCTS⁉️

I had micro blading and my skin is red and dry and sensitive + acne prone for a year and probably more 🥲

my skin barrier is currently damaged rn. my skin feels so tight and i know its dry but its also SUUPERRR oily🫤. i hate this
