The skin barrier is the skin’s outermost layer, also called the epidermis. The very top layer of the skin barrier is called the stratum corneum and is comprised of flattened cells that are bound together by a lipid matrix. The lipid matrix is a precise combination of fatty acids, ceramides and cholesterol. This combination is necessary to maintain the strength and integrity of the stratum corneum – the top layer of the skin.

Barrier Restore 1:1:3 has a ratio of 1-part fatty acids to 1-part ceramides to 3-parts cholesterol, providing optimal, fast-acting efficacy.

• Cholesterol: helps strengthen the skin barrier and improve its ability to retain moisture.
• Ceramides: help maintain and increase skin’s moisture levels and also protect the skin barrier from environmental stressors.
• Fatty acids: help support skin’s natural structure and are essential for maintaining the skin’s moisture barrier and preventing water loss.

This innovative formula also includes ingredients that are shown to reduce triggers associated with visible facial redness:

• Date seed extract
• Synthetic avenanthramide (key ingredient in oats)
• Marine exopolysaccharides
