      As a beauty editor, my main challenge is dealing with super-sensitive skin. I have a passion for trying a variety of skincare and makeup products, but if I neglect to check the ingredients, it can lead to significant issues. Recently, I felt particularly intrigued when I noticed Kylie Jenner using a popular skincare brand that I've only heard positive feedback about from fellow editors, and which was also mentioned by Love Island USA star Leah Kateb in a recent interview. Hydrinity, as its name suggests, focuses on hydration and skin regeneration. Its standout ingredient is a powerful form of hyaluronic acid that aids in repairing even the most damaged skin—accelerating healing significantly while providing exceptional moisture. As someone with sensitive skin, I have to be cautious about my products, but I couldn't resist trying this one because the ingredients appeared impressive. Each product seemed to have a straightforward formula that wouldn't cause breakouts or irritation for me, so I thought it was worth giving the brand a chance. So far, I've been quite impressed. Unfortunately, my skin barrier has been compromised for quite some time, leading to a series of issues, but with extended use, this brand might just be the solution I've needed. Keep reading for my thoughts.

      This product is currently trending among celebrities. Initially, I was hesitant because I thought, “Not another hypochlorous acid spray?” However, I was pleasantly surprised. Honestly, my skin is very sensitive, and I once had to stop using a hypochlorous acid spray because it irritated my skin. This particular formula, though, is ultra-gentle, friendly to the skin microbiome and has anti-inflammatory properties. While my breakouts have greatly diminished over the past few months, I still occasionally deal with red bumps, which can be frustrating. This spray serves as an excellent prep step after cleansing to soothe the skin. Despite the reduction in breakouts, my skin still shows signs of stress, and this spray has an almost immediate effect on redness. Jenner also incorporates it into her routine, and it’s easy to understand why—it's effective for angry-looking bumps. It can even be beneficial for conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and rosacea. This microbiome-friendly purifying mist contains hypochlorous acid (HOCl), a powerful antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agent that works diligently to treat blemishes, restore compromised skin, and deeply calm even the most sensitive skin, including those prone to eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea. Widely used by dermatologists, this lightweight yet potent mist is celebrated for its wound-healing properties.

      Restorative HA Serum

      This is the other product from the brand that I was most eager to try, especially after Kateb mentioned it's another favorite of hers in a recent interview. Having documented her own acne challenges on TikTok, I thought it must be effective if she endorses it. When dealing with breakouts, barrier damage, and redness, finding the right hydration for your skin can be quite difficult. Thicker creams often lead to more breakouts, while lightweight gel moisturizers might not provide enough hydration. This serum strikes the perfect balance. It incorporates the brand's signature hyaluronic acid complex, peptides, and antioxidants that enhance hydration in the skin. It’s also formulated to expedite skin recovery and repair. After struggling with skin-barrier damage for a while, I found it more challenging to heal than I anticipated; however, after using this for a couple of weeks, I have observed noticeable improvements. My skin feels much softer, and the texture has improved significantly. Additionally, it's a non-comedogenic formula, meaning it doesn't just sit on the skin or feel greasy. It feels like the nutrients fully absorb, and, similar to the Hyacyn Active Spray, it effectively reduces redness, soothing active breakouts.

      Retaxome Daily Retinal Hydrator

      I've been cautious about using retinoids recently due to the need for my skin to heal and recover. However, this retinal serum is an excellent choice for anyone with similar skin concerns who still wants to benefit from a vitamin A derivative. Retinal is a personal favorite of mine because it’s one of the gentlest yet most effective options available. The retinal in this formula is encapsulated in a biomimetic exosome, making its delivery mechanism highly effective—it penetrates the skin deeply to perform its function. Unlike other retinoids I've used, this one hasn’t made my skin feel irritated or dehydrated. It even provides a subtle glow after just a few weeks of use.

      Eye Renew Complex

      As I age, I've become increasingly aware of the importance of a quality eye cream. Without one, my eye area becomes excessively dry and shows signs of aging, but this formula is remarkable. It revitalizes my eye area with collagen-boosting peptides, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory ingredients. The texture is semi-rich but, like the brand’s
