Barrier Care Gel Cream

$38.00

Face Reality’s Barrier Care Gel Cream is a medium-weight, acne-safe moisturizer designed to restore balance, resilience, and hydration without clogging pores. Featuring the innovative Multi-Restore Complex™, this formula mimics the skin’s own barrier components with ceramides, squalane, phytosterols, and essential fatty acids - all delivered in the ratios your skin naturally recognizes.

  • Key Ingredients

    • Ceramide Trio: Together, these ceramide types work synergistically to support the skin's barrier function and overall health.

    • Phytosterols: Plant-derived lipids that mimic the function of cholesterol in the skin, helping to strengthen the skin barrier, reduce inflammation, and lock in moisture—making them ideal for calming and restoring compromised or dry skin.

    • Linoleic Acid: Softens and hydrates dry depleted skin while supplying soothing, healing benefits; penetrates other nutrients into skin tissue, and provides much longer-lasting, intense moisture.

    • Squalane: Keeps skin hydrated and balances oil production by mimicking the skin’s acid mantle while also reducing inflammation, soothing skin irritation, and improving elasticity.

    • Centella Asiatica Extract: Helps to strengthen and repair the skin's moisture barrier with potent anti-inflammatory benefits and antioxidant protection.

    • Bisabolol: Skin-soothing agent with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.

    • Sodium Hyaluronate: The purest, salt form of hyaluronic acid, a master humectant that holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water to provide maximum hydration and plumping benefits to thirsty skin.

    • Sodium PCA: Attracts moisture from the environment to help maintain natural moisturizing factor (NMF).
