HILARY SAYS REVIEW:
The name can be quite misleading but it does not have actual gold in it, which is good because gold can irritate the skin. It is a great moisturizer that contains beneficial ingredients like ceramides, fatty acids, cholesterol, antioxidants, niacinamide, propylene glycol and sodium hyaluronate, which will lead to softer, more radiant skin if used daily.
The skin’s barrier has a bricks & mortar structure: the bricks are skin cells and the mortar is a fatty mixture made up of ceramides, cholesterol, and free fatty acids. This mixture helps hold skin together by forming a protective layer that limits moisture loss and protects against visible damage from pollution.
Age and sun damage reduce the effectiveness of your skin’s natural ceramides and can eventually deplete them, which weakens your skin’s barrier. If the skin barrier is compromised, it can lead to drier, rougher skin, wrinkles, irritation, redness, and visible signs of dehydration.
Liquid Gold has 4% niacinamide, which is great for maintaining your skin’s barrier function, so it can keep moisture in and keep irritants out. It’s also helps slow down skin wrinkling, fade hyper pigmentation and reduce appearance of pores. Antioxidants help fight off free radicals that cause skin damage. Sodium Hyaluronate and Propylene Glycol are humectants, which attract water molecules to keep the skin hydrated. This product gets a BIG YES from me!
