“I have really fragile skin because of hEDS and sometimes experience hormonal breakouts, so finding skincare can be tricky. I liked the idea of this barrier cream as a cleaner alternative to my beloved cicaplast/cicalfate, and my skin seems to be loving it too :) so soothing! Redness is calmed immediately and despite a few typically comodogenic ingredients (algin, cocoa butter), it doesn’t break me out at all. Please never discontinue”

“I would definitely recommend this product if you have a broken skin barrier, it’s the only thing that worked for me , even after being recommended so many other products. However if you have oily or easily congested skin I would recommend to stop using it after your barrier has healed, because it will lead to congestion. And can also be used as just a plain moisturizer if too heavy. Amazing product would recommend.”

“I wasn’t sure about this product when I first started using as my skin was breaking out at the time, and I was layering it with too many products. However, since applying once a day in the evenings after the Hydraoat Calming Toner, I’ve noticed my skin looks more hydrated, even, less red and more smooth!”

“I didn't notice any difference in my skin after I used half the bottle, and it left my face very sticky.”

Dear Sue, Thank you for trying our Ectoin BarrierBuild Milk and sharing your honest thoughts—we truly appreciate your feedback as it helps us support more customers like you. We're sorry it left a sticky feel and that you haven't noticed changes yet after half the bottle. This lightweight milk is designed to gently strengthen the skin barrier with ectoin and ceramides, often showing subtle hydration and protection benefits over 4-6 weeks rather than dramatic visible shifts right away. The stickiness could stem from layering with other products or humid conditions; we recommend applying it solo on clean skin as the last step in your routine for best absorption. To turn this around, we'd love to issue a refund or exchange for a product better suited to your needs. Just email us at help@facetheory.com, and we'll handle it promptly. Your satisfaction means everything! Thanks, Facetheory Team
