Hi everyone,

I wanted to start a conversation about barrier health and sensitive skin care. I've dealt with irritation, dryness, and breakouts in the past from overusing strong actives like AHAs and retinoids. Since then, I’ve focused on a simpler routine with calming ingredients like centella asiatica, PHAs, and panthenol, and it’s made a huge difference.

During that journey, I found a brand called Moika Skincare that really focuses on barrier-friendly, minimal formulations for sensitive and stressed skin. No harsh ingredients—just calming, science-backed care. It’s been a game-changer for me.

I’d love to hear what’s worked for you all. Do you have any holy grail products or routines for reactive or compromised skin? Let’s share recommendations and experiences—especially anything that supports skin recovery!
