Barrier Repair uses a special mix of three essential ceramides (AP, NP, and EOP) that mimic the skin’s natural moisturizing factors. These plant-derived ceramides fill in the gaps between skin cells, reinforcing the skin's protective moisture seal.

By strengthening the lipid matrix, Barrier Repair prevents water loss, locks in hydration for over 24 hours, restores suppleness, and shields deeper skin layers.

Ceramides are the fatty cells which join skin cells together to form skin barrier. Skin barrier is what protects your skin from the environment- prevents body from losing water, and protects it from bacteria and pollutants in environment.

When the barrier is damaged, skin becomes sensitive to bacteria, and produces excess oil to prevent moisture loss, leading to a continuous cycle of breakouts.

Acne prone skin is naturally low on ceramides, which can lead to damaged barrier. Acne treatments can be harsh, peeling away skin cells as well as the oil balance, leading to a further damaged barrier. As we age and expose our skin to UV rays, ceramide levels decline further, weakening the skin barrier.

Other factors like acne, eczema, rosacea, harsh skincare products, chemical peels, extreme weather, and indoor heating/air conditioning can also deplete essential ceramides, leading to roughness, sensitivity, accelerated aging, irritation, and various skin conditions.

Yes, Barrier Repair Gel is specially formulated to reinforce sensitive and acne-prone skin’s protective moisture barrier. It is dermatologist-tested for allergy and safety on reactive skin.

Unlike oils that clog pores, this lightweight, fast-absorbing gel-moisturizer provides intense hydration, balances oil production, and helps prevent breakouts. Soothing agents help to calms inflammation that often accompanies acne and rosacea without irritation.

In clinical trials, regular usage of the patented ceramide complex* is proven to increase skin ceramide content by over 30% within 4 weeks (the ceramides fill in ‘cracks’ between skin cells).  An increase reinforces the moisture barrier integrity for benefits like instant hydration after 1 use.

Yes, this fragrance-free and allergy-tested formula is safe to use around the sensitive eye area without irritation. The ceramides hydrate fine lines while niacinamide brightens dark circles.

Yes, Barrier Repair Gel is safe for use by pregnant women. Its formulation is free from harmful ingredients, and the absence of oils and non-comedogenic properties make it suitable for maintaining skin hydration and health during pregnancy. However, it's always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized skincare recommendations.
