Thinking about trying the Barrier Smith from Cool as a Cucumber. Has anyone used it for acne-prone skin?

My skin has been in a rough patch lately, mostly from over-relying on actives and stripping my barrier down without realizing it. I've been looking into barrier repair options that won't cause more breakouts in the process, and the Barriersmith lipid treatment cream from Cool as a Cucumber keeps coming up. The ceramide and pre/postbiotic angle sounds genuinely interesting but I want real thoughts before committing. Anyone here tried it, especially if you're dealing with acne alongside a compromised barrier? Would love to hear what your actual experience was like.

This man started as a crying kid trapped on a pirate ship who couldn't throw a punch without apologizing for it.

Now he's a SWORD member, survived Blackbeard, awakened Observation Haki under literal life or death pressure, and is being actively positioned as the Navy's answer to the next generation of pirates.

Oda didn't give Coby a shortcut either. Every single step of his growth was earned... Garp's training, Marineford, Punk Hazard, Hachinosu. He keeps getting thrown into situations way above his level and keeps walking out the other side.

The real question is where his ceiling actually is. Because if Luffy is the Pirate King endgame, Coby feels like he's being built toward something equally significant on the Marine side.

Fleet Admiral Coby by the end of the series... too much or exactly right?
