I recently received Real Barrier’s Cica Relief Fade in Serum from @realbarrier_global @go.picky @pickyrewards in exchange for my honest review. I’ve been testing this out in my nighttime routine for the past 2-3 weeks in my morning and nighttime routines to come up with my thoughts.
Time to Fade Your Blemishes
Cica Relief RX Fade in Serum currently retails at $26.88 USD on Stylevana for 50 mL. You are supposed to use this serum to heal scars and soothe your skin so that it can be hydrated and stronger. If you are prone to breakouts and have a difficult time fading out blemishes like myself, then you might enjoy adding this serum into your skincare collection. The key to the serum’s fading superpowers lies in its TECA-CERA which contains centella asiatica and ceramides to quickly soothe and protect your skin barrier from environmental stressors.
Having centella asiatica be the center focus of this serum makes complete sense for your acne needs. Centella asiatica has been used in medicinal practices for wound healing and inflammation because of its anti-bacterial properties. It also helps retain the moisture in your skin that is essential for proper wound healing and for a protective skin barrier.
Not only is this serum formula great for your skin, it is gentle enough for sensitive skin and environmentally friendly. You can purchase refills of this serum so that you can switch out the serum container and reuse the external part of the packaging.
To get a better understanding of why Real Barrier’s serum is perfect for you, take a look at some of their other ingredients:
- Butylene Glycol: This ingredient is a humectant that draws in moisture and keeps your skin hydrated throughout the day.
- Asiatic Acid: Derived from centella asiatica, this form of acid is used for reducing the appearance of wrinkles and boosting collagen production to get firmer, bouncier skin.
- Vitamin Tree Fruit Extract: This ingredient is also known as sea buckthorn, which contains vitamin C. Vitamin tree extract can lighten up hyperpigmentation, lightly exfoliate your skin, and boost collagen production.
- Arginine: Arginine is perfect for dry skin because it provides much-needed moisture and can fight signs of aging by minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
By the way, you can purchase this product at a cheaper price and with 10% off your total if you buy it with my discount code INF10OHMY at Stylevana. If you purchase at least $59 USD worth of your Kbeauty essentials on Stylevana, you can get 15% off your order with that same discount code. I do receive a small percentage of the commission if you use my code.
A Serum Made for Soothing
Recyclable and Sturdy Packaging
This serum has a unique packaging design. Not only is it sturdy enough to bring for traveling around, it is also reusable. Real Barrier also carries refills of this serum that you can pull out and replace. You can keep the exterior part of the packaging and the product will dispense product just fine. Each serum refil costs $27.00 USD on Stylevana.
I also want to note that the pump of this serum packaging is really good. I was trying this out for my first impression video that is posted below, and the pump can make the serum almost fly out of the dispenser. It’s quite powerful so keep this in mind if applying the serum straight to your face.
Clear Gel
The product itself is a clear viscous liquid that is a mix of a gel and water. It has a sort of thickness to it, but spreads so well into my skin. There is very little scent to this product, so it doesn’t give you a headache. People who prefer unscented products will love this one for sure because it is very straightforward to just working well for our skin.
Dries with No Trace
Using this product was very nice! It reminded me of a hyaluronic acid serum due to its consistency. However, the product manages to seep well into my skin without leaving a tacky feeling like an HA serum.
The finish of this serum reminds me of aloe vera gel because it basically disappears on your skin. You can forget you applied this serum sometimes because your skin is left feeling super smooth. The no trace to this serum also means that it won’t affect your makeup if you’re thinking of using this in the morning.
Oh-So Perfect for the Summer
Another reason this skincare serum reminds me of aloe vera gel is because of the sensation. I find that this product does leave a cooling sensation, which is common for centella asiatica products. The wound-healing properties of the superstar ingredient make this a great solution for when you experience those dreaded sunburns. If you’re not prone to redness or stinging from sun exposure, you can also have fun using this to cool down. I put a lot on my arms while testing and loved the cool feeling especially in this heat!
Lightens Blemishes
I have seen a slight improvement with my blemishes since I use this mainly at night. They’re not as visible from afar and are also close to fading out. I can say that I have not experienced any breakouts while using the Real Barrier serum due to the antioxidant and anti-bacterial properties in the ingredient list.
In terms of redness (which is a usual occurrence for me), you can see a noticeable improvement because my face looks soothed and dewy after using the serum. This serum can alse be a good recommendation for after you exfoliate your skin so that it less dry and less irritated, which the combo for pimple formation.
Would I repurchase?
Yes! I really wish I had a product like this when I started my skincare journey since I had a disrupted skin barrier. The ingredient list is perfect if your skin is really dry and flaky. I would recommend this for hormonal acne since blemishes can be hard to get rid of for that.
Would you try out this serum for yourself? What are your thoughts? Let me know down below.
