Dermalogica Barrier Repair

How to use Dermalogica Barrier Repair:

Dermalogica Barrier Repair should be applied after toning to create a protective shield against environmental stress triggers that compromise sensitized skin. Dispense a small amount of this velvety moisturizer and apply over your face and neck using light, upward strokes that avoid excessive friction on damaged barriers. Use Dermalogica Barrier Repair twice daily—morning and evening—as your primary moisturizer, or apply it as a targeted treatment to specific areas experiencing heightened sensitivity, redness, or barrier compromise. The unique anhydrous (waterless) formula makes it exceptionally effective during air travel and in harsh environmental conditions, where cabin pressure, recycled air, and climate changes accelerate moisture loss and barrier breakdown. Its ability to insulate skin from these stressors makes it an essential travel companion for maintaining skin comfort and resilience. Each bottle provides approximately 60 applications, delivering concentrated barrier-strengthening benefits with every use.

Features & Benefits:

Dermalogica Barrier Repair delivers specialized care for sensitized skin struggling with compromised barrier function. This innovative anhydrous moisturizer works fundamentally differently from water-based formulas by directly reinforcing skin's critical lipid barrier layer—the outermost protective shield that prevents moisture loss and blocks irritant penetration. The exclusive UltraCalming Complex combines Oat extract with carefully selected botanical actives to minimize discomfort, redness, and reactivity associated with barrier damage. By fortifying this essential protective layer, Dermalogica Barrier Repair creates a powerful shield against environmental assault including pollution, extreme weather, harsh winds, and UV radiation that perpetuate sensitivity cycles. Oil of Evening Primrose and Borage Seed Oil deliver essential fatty acids that restore healthy barrier lipid composition, while vitamins C and E combat free radical damage that degrades barrier integrity over time. Beyond protection and repair, this velvety formula creates a smooth, even base on skin that makes it an exceptional makeup prep, allowing foundation and other cosmetics to glide on seamlessly without clinging to dry patches or irritated areas. This cruelty-free, certified vegan formula contains no artificial colors or fragrances, and arrives in FSC certified packaging that is 90% recyclable or biodegradable.

Key Ingredients:

Dermalogica Barrier Repair features a sophisticated waterless formula concentrated with barrier-restoring oils and protective actives. Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Oil and Oat Kernel Extract provide powerful anti-inflammatory and barrier-strengthening properties while immediately calming sensitized skin. Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Oil delivers gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid essential for maintaining healthy barrier lipid structure and reducing inflammation. Borago Officinalis (Borage) Seed Oil provides additional GLA alongside powerful skin-soothing benefits. Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, a stable oil-soluble form of Vitamin C, fights free radical damage while supporting collagen production. Tocopheryl Acetate and Tocopherol (Vitamin E) offer antioxidant protection and help prevent lipid peroxidation that weakens barriers. Bisabolol and Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Extract provide natural anti-inflammatory relief. Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate, derived from licorice, offers exceptional soothing properties for reactive skin. The silicone-based delivery system in Dermalogica Barrier Repair ensures these potent actives penetrate effectively while creating a breathable, protective veil that shields compromised barriers from further damage.
