After being a heavy kbeauty user for five years, I’d like to think I’m hard to surprise. Yet brands keep coming out with interesting products that catch me off guard. One of my recent discoveries is Logically, Skin Aqua Barrier Stick, available on YesStyle (use my reward code KBHOBBIT for extra savings) and Amazon.
Logically, Skin Aqua Barrier Stick is a versatile moisturizer that can be used on the face or body to nourish the skin. The balm promises a cooling sensation when applied, but I haven’t noticed that personally.
How to use:
Apply liberally to areas in need of nourishment
Can be used under or over makeup or on the body
I use this as my moisturizer to lock in other skincare steps at the end of the night. It is also great for anyone using a retinoid - apply it before the retinoid, or even do a sandwich method of balm - retinoid - balm to minimize potential dryness and irritation which can sometimes accompany retinoid usage. Just be sure your skin is dry when applying the retinoid - let all other products fully absorb first.
The barrier stick has a silky consistency that’s a pleasure to apply. The product glides onto the skin effortlessly and provides moisture without a greasy or heavy feeling. There’s a very mild, barely noticeable scent. The star ingredients are niacinamide, adenosine, hyaluronic acid, centella asiatica, and various plant extracts. A full list is provided at the end of the review.
This product will melt if exposed to hot temperatures or direct sunlight, so store it in a cool place.
My impressions
Another win from Logically, Skin for me! I have combination skin with some dry and some oily areas. This balm is such a pleasure to apply that I reach for it every evening. It’s silky and wonderful and makes my skin so supple and soft. I don’t use it in the mornings or during the day, because my combination skin doesn’t need it. But if you have dry skin, then it would probably become a regular part of your daily routine or mid-day self care. I’m not sure how it would behave over makeup - my guess is some of the makeup will be smeared. If I were to apply this in the AM, I would do so before the sunscreen step.
The packaging type makes this a great travel item, but I will reiterate again not to leave it in hot vehicles or in direct sunlight. It’s softer and more delicate than most of my chapsticks, and even those melt in the sun too.
Have you tried anything like this? Or maybe some other Logically, Skin products? What did you think?
