Dr Althea 147 Barrier Cream 15ml
A non-comedogenic rich moisturizer for damaged skin barrier and sensitive skin experiencing persistent dryness, tightness, and flakiness. The 147 Barrier Cream helps target the root cause of a compromised skin barrier and locks in moisture to prevent trans epidermal water loss.
Paeonia Albiflora (white peony) flower extract is the patented ingredient. It strengthens the skin barrier.
Seven-layer hyaluronic acid complex works at different depths of the skin. It gives multi-depth hydration for a plump, revitalised look.
Guaiazulene (azulene from chamomile) reinforces the barrier and gives the cream its natural blue colour. It also calms sensitive, irritated skin and redness.
Four ceramides fortify and repair the skin’s protective barrier. Some versions of the cream also list cholesterol and phytosphingosine.
Nourishing plant extracts and oils: avocado fruit extract, argan kernel oil, camellia (green tea) seed oil and tocopherol (vitamin E).
Centella asiatica and beta-glucan appear in several ingredient lists as soothing and hydrating support.
When Your Skin Barrier is Struggling
Dry, tight, or flaky skin can be a sign that your moisture barrier is struggling to hold on to hydration.
147 Barrier Cream surrounds depleted skin with lasting moisture, helping it feel softer, cushioned, and comfortable again.
Barrier Recovery: Helps strengthen a weakened moisture barrier and improve skin resilience.
Deep, Lasting Hydration: Replenishes moisture and helps prevent it from escaping.
Dryness Relief: Comforts skin experiencing tightness, flaking, roughness, or sensitivity.
Daily Protection: Supports skin affected by cold weather, dry environments, or strong skincare treatments.
Rich, Comfortable Finish: Delivers nourishing moisture without leaving skin feeling excessively heavy or greasy.
1. Daily Moisturizer
As the final step of your skincare routine, apply an appropriate amount of 147 Barrier Cream evenly over the face and gently press into the skin until absorbed.
2. Sandwich Method with Strong Actives
When using potentially irritating actives such as retinoids, apply a light layer of 147 Barrier Cream first to cushion the skin. Follow with your active treatment, then apply another layer of 147 Barrier Cream on top to help seal in moisture and support the skin barrier.
