What owners single out
In their words
“Lipid Gold is the product that finally made sense to me once I started paying attention to ingredient lists and what the skin barrier is actually made of. I was looking for something that would help my skin heal and stay healthy long term, not just feel moisturized for a few hours. What stood out is that this formula contains the full range of skin lipids — ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids ”

“I first tried this product last December and thought it was breaking me out since it was the only new product I was trying. Stratia was so kind to send me a refund so I took a break from this and then found myself out of face cream so gave it another try...I ended up loving it.”
