This is a review of Estra Atobarrier 365 Lotion, which keeps you feeling fresh 365 days a year.

Estra lotion isn't so much a product I've tried recently, but true to its name, it's a product I use about 365 days a year. I introduced an Estra product before, and honestly, I really hesitated to write about this particular one. However, since the brand has returned, I am starting this recommendation filled with personal bias.

 

 

 

I usually prefer a simple skincare routine consisting of toner, essence, and cream. This is partly due to my impatient nature, but I also like to keep my routine concise because I believe that as long as I have effective results and sufficient hydration, that is all that matters. Consequently, I felt I needed to use products that properly fulfill their inherent functions. While I had issues to address—such as pores, blemishes, and wrinkles—I realized that to effectively care for them, I needed to strengthen my skin's natural foundation so it could readily accept these functional cosmetics and withstand aggressive care. That is when I learned about the concept of the skin barrier.

 

I learned that ceramide, cholesterol, and fatty acids are ingredients that help improve or strengthen the skin barrier. Just as I was thinking that the combination of these three is important and that I absolutely must make sure to include all three, I discovered Estra Atoveria 365 Lotion. Actually, I first learned about the cream, but after comparing various reviews, I decided that a lightweight yet moisturizing lotion would suit me better, so I purchased it.

 

The reason I have used this product almost every day for over a year without switching is that after applying it, my skin feels soft and smooth without any stickiness, heaviness, slipperiness, or greasiness. I used this lotion instead of cream as a finishing step after toner and essence, and because it has such good moisturizing power, I didn't feel any dryness even without applying anything on top. I think it is a product that fits well with combination skin that needs to balance both oil and moisture.

 

 

Also, when functional cosmetics don't suit me, it’s perfect for putting out the fire on my irritated skin. Even when high-concentration products don't agree with me, using it as a finishing step or applying it one more time helps soothe skin irritation. I think it’s really good for calming. So, it gave me the confidence that my skin would be fine even if I actively used high-concentration products.

 

These days, it seems like the whole family uses it well. I am raising an elementary schooler and a kindergartener; since they take after me, they have a bit of atopic dermatitis and generally dry skin. I’ve always wanted to use just one consistent product, whether for basic skincare or bath products, so I have been using the same brand for about five years. I already knew that Aestura had a hospital-grade version. Just in case, I looked it up, and although it wasn't the exact same product, I found out that this one can be used from age 0. So, I applied it to my eldest child's face first, and as expected, it was perfect for a child's skin. Now, I use it frequently as part of my skincare routine when I quickly head out in the morning. This product is also a pump type, and when I'm busy, the pump type is just perfect because I can just pump it out quickly.

 

Having a product I really love has eased my skin concerns. I plan to make good use of Atobarrier 365 Lotion to maintain consistent hydration and protect my skin health. I recommend this product as one that can be used every day, 365 days a year, without worrying about barrier hydration.
