Frequently Asked Questions

What is the skin barrier?

The skin barrier is the outermost layer that locks in moisture and keeps out irritants. When healthy, skin feels comfortable; when damaged, it becomes dry, red and sensitive.

What ingredients repair the skin barrier?

Ceramide rebuilds the barrier, panthenol and centella soothe, squalane seals in moisture, and beta-glucan hydrates. Together they restore a strong, healthy, resilient barrier.

How do I know if my barrier is damaged?

Signs include tightness, stinging when applying products, increased redness, dryness, flaking and sensitivity. Simplifying your routine and focusing on repair helps it recover.

How long does it take to repair the barrier?

A mildly damaged barrier can recover in a couple of weeks with gentle, consistent care. More significant damage may take longer. Avoid harsh actives while healing.

Should I stop using actives if my barrier is damaged?

Yes. Pause exfoliating acids and retinoids while your barrier heals, and focus on gentle, soothing, hydrating ingredients. Reintroduce actives slowly once skin feels comfortable.
