- Q
Is this fungal acne safe?
- Asked by Punpun
- Official Answer By cocokind - Brand EngageHi! The FDA considers fungal acne to be a medical condition, so I can't give product or ingredient recommendations specifically for that. We recommend seeing a dermatologist for fungal acne as none of our products are formulated to treat it. Our ceramide barrier serum is suitable for all skin types, including breakout-prone skin. It supports skin’s natural ceramide production and provides deep hydration. We also recommend the postbiotic acne serum. It treats and prevents acne, blackheads, and clogged pores. It also hydrates and supports skin barrier. You can use both serums together although it isn’t necessary. If you would like to use both serums at the same time, we recommend applying the acne serum first because it’s lighter than the ceramide serum.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Should I use this on dry or damp skin?
- Asked by emcdona7
- Official Answer By cocokind - Brand EngageHi! You can apply our ceramide barrier serum on either dry or damp skin, but we do recommend allowing to dry for 1-2 minutes in between application of your products in your routine.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Is this safe to use under the cocokind retinol?
- Asked by b
- Official Answer By cocokind - Brand EngageHi! Our ceramide barrier serum is an excellent product to pair with our beginner retinol gel in your nighttime routine, providing hydration and barrier support through the ceramide serum. We recommend applying retinol before serum, but if you’re super concerned about irritation, you can apply retinol after the ceramide barrier serum to act as a buffer between your skin and the retinol. Follow up with daily SPF during the day to avoid sun sensitivity.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q

- Asked by izzy
- Official Answer By cocokind - Brand EngageHi!

- Q
Is the gluconolactone used as an exfoliant in this?
- Asked by Lauren
- Official Answer By cocokind - Brand EngageHi! Gluconolactone is a very gentle exfoliant that’s a polyhydroxy acid (PHA). PHA’s are related to AHA’s and are often referred to as new generation AHAs. Besides providing mild exfoliation, it’s also a humectant and offers antioxidant properties. It can improve barrier function and boost the efficacy of other ingredients. It’s a great option for those with very sensitive skin who are unable to tolerate more common exfoliants like glycolic (AHA) or salicylic acid (BHA).Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
If using with a retinoid cream, should this serum come before or after the retinoid?
- Asked by Mac
- Official Answer By cocokind - Brand EngageHi! You can apply the ceramide barrier serum after retinoid. Let the retinoid dry down before proceeding with any subsequent steps, such as serums and moisturizer.Was this answer helpful to you

It's dermatologist tested and designed for sensitive skin. We hope you give it a try!Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can I use this product with Perioral dermatitis or will it cause more inflammation?
- Asked by Hopeful
- Official Answer By cocokind - Brand EngageHi! Unfortunately, we don't have products specifically targeting treatment of Perioral dermatitis. Using lightweight unscented products would reduce the potential of triggering Perioral dermatitis so because of that we recommend using our electrolyte water cream!Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
Does this product have an expiration date or is it good forever like Vaseline
- Asked by Nikki
- Official Answer By cocokind - Brand EngageHi! In general, our products have shelf lives of about 12 months after opening and 2 years unopened. On the bottom of every product box, we list a POA (period after opening) symbol. It should look like a little open jar with a number and the letter M (months). This will help you determine how long each product is good for after opening. Storing them in a cool, dry place, tightly closing the lid, and using clean hands to obtain the product, always helps maintain the integrity of the shelf life.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Is this product non-comedogenic?
- Asked by JJ
- Official Answer By cocokind - Brand EngageHi! Our ceramide barrier serum is formulated for all skin types, including sensitive and breakout-prone skin! There is actually no FDA regulation for the term “comedogenic." In fact, there are no standardized tests that can accurately determine if an ingredient will or will not clog your pores or cause breakouts. Skin health is completely individual and dependent on genetics and lifestyle choices, including skincare!Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can i use this after i apply Glow Recipe PHA+BPA Toner?
- Asked by Bri
- Official Answer By cocokind - Brand EngageHi! Yes, you can use the ceramide barrier after toner. We recommend using this serum after cleansing and toning, but before moisturizer.

- Asked by Nat
- Official Answer By cocokind - Brand EngageHi! Our ceramide barrier serum is water-based, and should be applied before your moisturizer step.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
I love this product and have been using it to help repair my skin barrier. My question is, how long do I use it for before I know my barrier has healed? Do I stop using it at any point? Or do I make this a part of my permanent routine? Thank you!
- Asked by brighteyedgirl
- Official Answer By cocokind - Brand EngageHi! You can make the ceramide barrier serum a permanent part of your skin care routine. Anyone can use this serum although ceramides are especially beneficial to those with a compromised barrier from things like exposure to extreme environments (hot/cold), over exfoliation, irritation, or sun damage. Additionally, around the age of 30, the extracellular matrix composition naturally changes and produces a lower percentage of ceramides, cholesterol, and free fatty acids. As a result the skin barrier is weakened and more prone to dryness and irritation. A ceramide product, like our ceramide barrier serum, can help replenish those ceramides.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can I use this with the Cocokind Postbiotic Acne Serum? And if so, which should I use first? Thanks!
- Asked by Ash
- Official Answer By cocokind - Brand EngageHi! Yes, you can use the ceramide barrier serum with the postbiotic acne serum although it isn’t necessary. We recommend purchasing the serum that best matches your biggest skin concern - acne or barrier support. If you would like to use both serums at the same time, we recommend applying the acne serum first because it’s lighter than the ceramide serum.Was this answer helpful to you

- Official Answer By cocokind - Brand EngageOur ceramide barrier serum is suitable for daily use in the AM and/or PM.

- Q
Can you use this serum in the same routine as peptides and epidermal growth factors?
- Asked by Skincare Nerd
- Official Answer By cocokind - Brand EngageOur ceramide barrier serum is a great option for layering on after actives to soothe, hydrate, and provide skin barrier support! To be safe, we recommend patch testing the products together before applying them all over your face as each person can react differently. Additionally, we always recommend following up with sunscreen during the day for optimal protection.Was this answer helpful to you

Needs Disclaimer for Sensitive Skin
This product is advertised as a barrier nourishing daily serum, and I used it as a daily serum. I should have paid attention to the ingredients because this contains lactic acid. Using this daily on sensitive skin caused intense burning and redness after consistent use when using other products. The burning and redness was so intense, I had to wash eveything off and only use a soothing moisturizer. I had never had such a reaction to a product before and it took me too long to realize this product was the issue. This damaged my barrier as a result.
super sensitive skin girlies, BEWARE
Unfortunately, I was SUPER allergic to this and had a pretty bad reaction. I thoguht this would be a great product becuase of tne highly rated reviews. :( This was my first time using, but did see another review about a forumalry change?
