Aging skin repair

I used barrier repair years ago and had switched to a lighter moisturizer. My skin is getting flakier as I age and barrier repair is perfect as a non-greasy but more intense moisturizer. It doesn’t cause my sensitive skin to break out and it lasts all day without being greasy.

Perfect for redness

My son and I get really red skin in a butterfly pattern. This helps a lot!

Great Calming Product

I have been using this product for years and highly recommend it. I am 62 and have been dealing with chronic dry eyes for 20 years. Each morning, I use a "warm compress" on my eyelids to get the oils flowing in my Meibomian glands located in the lid margins.

Great Product

I use this every day and love it. Fixed my skin barrier issues and I won't go without it.

Great for sensitive skin

This is a wonderful product for sensitive skin. It takes away redness and makes my face feel and look soft and smooth.

A Must for Windy Weather

I live in Chicago and have yet to find anything like Dermalogica Barrier Repair for winter skin protection. It is a super light, smooth feeling gel. I put a pea-sized amount on my finger tips and glide over face and neck before heading out any time it is very windy and/or under 20 degrees! Love, love, love the feel and the skin protection.

Calming

I noticed a drastic decrease in overall redness and irritation after using this product for only a couple of days.
