What is it?
Soothing & Barrier Support Serum is a lightweight, hydrating serum that has been specifically formulated to strengthen and fortify your skin's natural protective barrier. The skin's barrier, often referred to as the lipid barrier or moisture barrier, plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy, resilient skin. It acts as a shield that protects your skin from external aggressors, such as pollution, UV rays, and irritants, while also retaining moisture to keep your skin hydrated and supple.
What Key Ingredients Feature?
Centella Asiatica Phytotechnologies, Ceramides, Niacinamide, Vitamin B12, Ginger Root Extract, Rapeseed Sterols, Bisabolol, Epigallocatechin gallate.
What It Does:
This serum works to restore and support your skin's barrier function by providing a blend of carefully chosen ingredients.
Niacinamide:
Niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, is a powerhouse ingredient known for its ability to enhance the skin's barrier function. It helps to reduce moisture loss, strengthen the protective barrier, and soothe any signs of redness or irritation.
Ceramides:
Ceramides are naturally occurring lipids (fatty molecules) in the skin that are essential for maintaining a healthy barrier. Soothing & Barrier Support Serum includes ceramides to replenish and reinforce the lipid barrier, helping to lock-in moisture and prevent trans-epidermal moisture-loss.
Panthenol:
Panthenol, also known as provitamin B5, is known for its moisturising and soothing properties. It assists in calming and repairing the skin, reducing inflammation and redness.
Squalane:
Squalane is a lightweight, non-comedogenic oil that provides additional hydration without clogging pores. It helps to improve skin's texture and suppleness.
Who Is It For?
- Anybody with a compromised skin barrier due to over-exfoliation, harsh products, or environmental stressors.
- Those experiencing redness, sensitivity, or irritation.
- Those with dry or dehydrated skin seeking an extra layer of moisture and protection.
- Anyone looking to maintain a healthy and resilient skin barrier as part of their daily skincare regime.
