‘Game changer’ lotion that improves skin in hours and gives a ‘glass skin’ glow

If you’re the type that struggles with traditional face creams and moisturisers feeling too rich in the summer heat, or if your skin is showing signs of stress or irritation, you might just love this fab new barrier-boosting milk that’s clinically proven to perk up your skin in just four hours.

Bestselling beauty brand FaceTheory has unveiled its latest gem, Ectoin BarrierBuild Milk, retailing for £22. Dubbed a ‘lightweight layerable milk’, it contains the buzz-worthy ingredient ectoin, along with Lactobacillus ferment, upcycled oat milk, and tremella mushroom. It’s praised for dialling down redness, easing irritation and enhancing both skin tone and texture, and users are seeing remarkable changes in just days.

“I have used this product for over 10 days and I can notice my skin is improved,” shared a thrilled customer. “My skin can get dry, blemished or irritated depending on the weather or hormones. After starting using this product morning and evening I noticed my skin is better hydrated, softer and smoother. My skin tone is improved, no more dull skin. Redness and irritation areas are better than before. This product is light, not sticky and not heavy, my skin absorbs it easily. Definitely recommend it.”

“I struggle a lot with combined skin so it can go from dry to oily, this product has been a game changer,” another agreed. “It’s helped with my uneven skin tone in just a few days. It’s light on the skin and melts in, you only need a small amount of product. My redness on my face has also gone down. And it gives me moisture but doesn’t make my face oily. It’s great for sensitive skin as doesn’t make your skin sore or sting,” reports the Mirror.

“When it says it strengthens the skin in just four hours – it actually does,” another person wrote. “My skin would usually feel very tight and stripped after washing but after using this it instantly helped my skin feel hydrated and silky! The only thing to improve would be the texture as it dries up really quickly. But overall – LOVE it!”.

FaceTheory advises that it can either be used on its own or in between other skincare. If you want to buy a full FaceTheory routine that suits sensitive skin, we recommend its HydraCleanse Rebalancing Gel Cleanser, £12, and HydraOat Soothing Daily Moisturiser, £16.

If you have drier skin, you might instead prefer something like Medik8’s Total Moisture Daily Facial Cream, £48 – a favourite with our beauty editor – or Skin Rocks The Moisturiser, £58.
