    Why should you care about your skin barrier?

    Details

    Because a healthy skin barrier is the difference between smooth and radiant skin, or flaky, rough and bumpy skin. In fact, a hydration- and lipid-depleted barrier may be masquerading as these exact issues. Cellular Hydration Barrier Repair is clinically proven to strengthen, nourish and repair your skin’s barrier—a fundamental marker of true skin wellness. Not only will your skin look and feel healthier, but your favourite active ingredients and topicals will also perform better, and can be used as directed to maximise results

    Did you know?
    “Skin barrier” is another name for stratum corneum (the outermost part of the epidermis). It works like a glove to keep pollution and bad bacteria out of the lower layers of your skin, while sealing in hydration and lipids

    Q&A

    Do I have to wait until barrier repair serum is dry on my face before using moisturizer ?
    Yes, we do recommend allowing the serum to be absorbed thoroughly before continuing with your routine.
    What is the best time to use this product, morning or evening? Which is the best moisturizer to use after? I love the intense recovery cream and also use cellular hydration repair cream. Is this the same as the Cellular Hydration repair serum?
    You can use the Barrier Repair Serum in the morning or evening. If you are using another treatment as well, if it contains retinol/retinal you would use that treatment at night and the Barrier Repair Serum in the morning. You can follow with either moisturizer.
    Does it help spider veins? Also, any products that would.
    Spider Veins can be prevented by making lifestyle changes but there is no topical product that prevents or treats them.
    Is this product supposed to be a brownish color?
    It has a creamy tan color.
    Is this good for acne-prone sensitive skin?
    All Murad products are formulated with antioxidants, anti inflammatories and hydrators to help alleviate irritation and inflammation. Dr Murad always advises performing a patch test given you know you have sensitive skin.
