Please can someone tell me, why our skin become tight even after putting moisturizer?

    It has some kind od matt, no glow skin, like a waxy,sensitive

    But if it’s DAMAGED BARRIER, moisturizers should work right

    Tried many of them

    Avene, la Roche,Bioderma,Some Korean…

    I know I have damage barrier from tret but why does moisturizers gives me nothing

      This used to happen to me. I’ve started using toners and/or serums (depends how lazy I am) before moisturizer and it really helps!

      You might be irritating your skin with the wrong moisturiser. Mine only felt tight before I realised I need to avoid fancy ones and keep it really, really simple.

      I use adapalen and while its not as harsh as tret, it used to mess with my skin barrier too and cause my skin to flake and burn. I tried many different barrier creams and it didn’t rlly work that well but i saw somewhere online about using baby nappy cream on the face and i decided to try it. I found one that had minimal ingredients, no fragrance and no heavy oils etc (QV baby was the one I chose). I have been using it for some weeks now and its done wonders. You should try it. Fair warning, it does leave one looking like casper and it does make a bit of a mess on pillowcases (i change mine daily because of this). If you don’t want to use a nappy cream, any barrier cream with a good amount of zinc oxide (lrp cicaplast baume for ex) will work.
