<p data-block-key="rr3pu">A refreshing water-burst moisturizer that delivers the hydration your barrier needs, while balancing the non-negotiables of oily and acne-prone skin.</p>

I’m seriously obsessed with how lightweight this moisturizer is—it feels like nothing on the skin, but somehow it delivers deep, long-lasting hydration. I was super sick recently and my skin was going through it—dry, flaky, dull… the whole thing. This product was an absolute lifesaver. It brought my skin back to life without feeling heavy or greasy, which is everything. What really sealed the deal for me is how well it pairs with makeup. It gives me that smooth, hydrated base without pilling or sliding around. As someone who’s all about skincare and loves a good makeup beat, that’s a must. This has officially earned a spot in my everyday routine. If you’ve been looking for something that’s hydrating, lightweight, and makeup-friendly—this is it!

"This so far is my favorite moisturizer cream for my combination skin as most creams leave me feeling greasy or do not provide enough hydration, especially during the dry winter months. But this moisturizer is best.  It is incredibly lightweight and absorbs instantly; it doesn't feel heavy at all, and my skin feels refreshed and hydrated, not oily. I was pleasantly surprised that even though it is so light, it kept my skin moisturized for the whole day. My skin felt soft and supple, and I didn't experience any of the flakiness I usually get when the weather turns cold. My skin looks healthier and more balanced – not shiny, just radiant. And it is perfect under makeup, and my foundation doesn't pill. Highly recommend it.

I’ve been using the Skinfix Barrier+ Balancing Water Barrier Cream for a few weeks now, and I’m honestly impressed. I have combination skin that leans sensitive, so I’m always hesitant with new moisturizers—but this one really delivered.

The texture is super lightweight, almost gel-like, and it sinks into the skin quickly without feeling greasy or heavy. Despite how light it feels, it’s surprisingly hydrating. I apply it in the morning under makeup and again at night after cleansing, and my skin stays soft, smooth, and calm throughout the day.

What I love most is how balanced my skin feels—no more dry patches or mid-day oiliness. It also layers well with serums and doesn’t pill. I haven’t had any breakouts or irritation, which is a big deal for me.

Overall, I’d definitely recommend this if you’re looking for a barrier-supporting moisturizer that hydrates without clogging pores. Bonus points for the clean ingredients and the fact that it’s fragrance-free.
