Experiment Super Saturated Barrier Support Concentrate Has One Very Important Thing Wrong With It
Experiment Super Saturated Barrier Support Concentrate ($28) a hydrating serum that contains 30% glycerin. Yes, you read that right! Let me say it again! 30% glycerin! Pretty cool right? It also contains polyglutamic acid, bisabolol, niacinamide, and prickly pear extract. The serum not only acts to keep you skin super hydrates but also, ensures you’re protecting your skin barrier’s support. This is especially helpful if you’ve done any damage to that barrier with the overuse of acids or exfoliating products.
I was recently offered a discount for reader’s of Musings of a Muse. If you want you can use that discount to get 10% off. The code is THEMUSE10. However, I want to fully disclose before I continue on with this review that I purchased this item with my own money. I think we’ve entered shady waters lately with reviews and I see a lot of dishonesty happening and I see a lot of consumers, readers, and followers pushing back at that. Below is my receipt for the purchase of this item. I learned about it via a Tiktok someone did and I went into my purchase very skeptical because I, myself, find it hard to believe anyone reviewing makeup or skincare lately. Experiment just recently extended a promo code to use on the blog and it’s very flattering because I really enjoy their products and I hope they do more in the future because the two they have are amazing. That being said, I have purchased everything from Experiment myself and nothing was gifted from the brand. I got my hands on Experiment Super Saturated Barrier Support Concentrate back in March and I’m on my second bottle of it and can’t wait for the restock happening June 13th (it’s been out of stock since March or so). I highly urge you to get on their mailing list to be alerted when it restocks as I’m not sure how quickly it will sell out.
Considering I’ve been using this for some months now, the discount coming into play, and the restock happening soon it seemed a good time to finally review Experiment Super Saturated Barrier Support Concentrate and share my thoughts on this formula and also, tell you about the biggest and most important problem with it.
Experiment Super Saturated Barrier Support Concentrate is $28 and offered in a 1.35 oz pump jar. That’s the biggest problem with this product. 1.35 oz? I need this to be offered in a 20 oz body lotion size. I need as much of as I can get. This is just TOO small. Please, hook me up with the supersize as soon as possible because this is solid gold skincare! A true skincare gem! Skincare at its finest!
With a base of water and 30% glycerin it will make you glide across the room once you applied it. And hey, if that wasn’t enough for you they throw in some squalane to make it even more hydrating. If you have drier skin you’re gonna want this. If you want plump, juicy skin you’re gonna want this. If you want to look younger with a brighter complexion you’re gonna want this. If you want that glazed donut look before you to bed at night you’re gonna want this. It’s amazing.
This is formulated with some incredible ingredients.
Ingredients:
Water, Glycerin, Propanediol, Niacinamide, Diglycerin, Squalane, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, Allantoin, Phenoxyethanol, Bisabolol, Sodium Polyacrylate, Methylparaben, Polyglutamic Acid, Tocopherol, Disodium EDTA, Opuntia Ficus-Indica Stem Extract, Malachite Extract, Ethylparaben, Caprylyl Glycol, Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Extract.
With a high glycerin content this formula will hydrate your skin while improving your skin’s natural barrier and protecting it against skin irritants. Glycerin is already a very common ingredient found in a host of skincare this just goes a step further with it and you’re getting the glycerin on steroids amount in this serum. Glycerin, like Hyaluronic Acid, has the ability to pull water from the air to your skin providing more moisture not to mention it also, stays on your skincare for a long time which allows it to provide long term moisture. It’s also going to act to prevent your skin from losing moisture and allow. If you want bounce and plump use this and pop your favorite Hyaluronic Acid right on top and you’ll get plumped up plush skin instantly! But Glycerin isn’t the only goodness here…
You’re also getting the benefits of Niacinamide that boosts hydration, cams redness, and treats dark spots for a brighter smoother complexion. As well as squalane to add more moisture and Polyglutamic Acid that actually better than Hyaluronic Acid and holds up to 4000-5000 times its weight in moisture so on top of glycerin there’s a host of other incredible water retaining hydrators in this formula.
The serum has a thicker, gel-like consistency with no fragrance. When I got it I applied it the wrong way for the first three days and it failed to impressed me. I was stupidly applying it on my drier skin and was left feeling sticky and drier. For the best benefits you need to apply this on damp skin just like you would your favorite Hyaluronic Acid. I tend to apply it after I’ve cleansed my face and follow up with Hyaluronic Acid for even more plump. It feels a little sticky but absorbs pretty quickly and leaves skin feel refreshed, smoother, and well hydrated after that first application. I use it in conjunction with my Ialuset Hyaluronic Acid Cream. I’ll wash my face, apply the serum on my damp skin, and while my skin is still damp from the serum application I immediately go in with my Ialuset. Or I’ll cleanse, do a sheet mask, apply the serum after my sheet mask when my skin is still damp from the mask, and head in with my Ialuset and later on my night cream. If I’m doing acids or retinols on a different night this will pair up with either just fine. I’ll typing do my AHA first, wait a little while, do a little facial mist, and apply this on to and proceed with the rest of my routine like wise for retinol. Since using this my complexion is brighter, smoother, much more hydrated, and I get that awesome plush, plumped up bounciness that I’d typically get from my Hyaluronic Acid.
The hype you’re likely going to start hearing around Experiment Super Saturated Barrier Support Concentrate is true. It’s an excellent product and goes the extra mile to get your skin not only looking awesome but also, feeling awesome. This is a product that will be much beloved by drier skin women and men but also, anyone who just likes taking care of their skin in the evening and going that extra mile with skincare will adore this. I wouldn’t limit it to just dry skin users! I feel like a wide range of skin types should get on well with this.
Since buying Super Saturated Barrier Support Concentrate Experiment released a second product (yes, they only have two as well as a reusable mask) which is called Buffer Jelly. I purchased Buffer Jelly the day of launch and it has been just as impressive as Super Saturated. I highly recommend checking it out as well. It’s also in stock now. As much as I wish Experiment would start releasing more skincare I have to say that they excel at the two they have created so, by all means, take your time with any new creations over there because you’re killing it with these two!
Experiment Super Saturated Barrier Support Concentrate will be back in stock June 13th. I urge you to try out for yourself. Or if you have already do share your thoughts on it!
