One often underappreciated component of wellness is the skin’s barrier layer, so this Strategic Duo is great for anyone who has looking and feeling good top of mind. Keep skin balanced, nourished, and healthy by maintaining the most important and overlooked layer of skin, the barrier layer. This synergistic combination of two of our top-sellers includes Barrier Restore Serum, which supplies nutrients that nourish and regulate barrier function, and Barrier Lipid Complex, which replenishes key lipids naturally found in the barrier. This duo thoroughly hydrates and moisturizes — and delivers that radiant glow.
BARRIER RESTORE SERUM1oz | 30ml
IMPERATIVE FOR ALL SKIN. Reestablishes + maintains barrier function, essential for a radiant complexion.
BARRIER LIPID COMPLEX1oz | 30ml
Restorative CERAMIDES + FATTY ACIDS + CHOLESTEROL rebuild barrier lipid integrity. Moisturize at a profound level.
BARRIER RESTORE SERUM
Balances moisture levels, eliminating dry, dehydrated skin.
Corrects inflammation, including acne, dermatitis and even aging.
Relieves dermatitis-related conditions (allergic and atopic), and fortifies sensitive and rosacea-prone skin.
BARRIER LIPID COMPLEX
Ceramides maintain youthful, plump, well-hydrated skin.
Cholesterol lubricates surface layers, delivering an emollient + creamy texture to moisturize profoundly, without risk of irritation or breakouts.
Biomemetic fatty acids balance skin’s oil ratio without essential oils to disrupt barrier lipid balance or threaten its microbiome.
BARRIER RESTORE SERUM
CERAMIDES Lipid molecules within cell membranes, they help cells form a protective layer that plumps skin and retains moisture.
PLANKTON EXTRACT restructures the skin matrix for improved barrier function
SODIUM HYALURONATE Occurs naturally in skin, maintaining its moisture and elasticity. This large molecule can’t fully penetrate the skin’s outer layers to fill wrinkles, yet it’s a wonderful humectant, holding up to 1000x its own weight in water.
L-ARGININE Also known as L-glutamine, this amino acid is proven to play an important role in the growth of fibroblast cells.
SODIUM PCA A humectant found in human skin has high water absorbing properties, and the ability to absorb moisture from the air.
PHOSPHATIDYL SERINE Some studies show topical application slows wrinkling by inhibiting enzymes that break down collagen.
MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE May help alleviate dryness/inflammation in magnesium deficient skin by increasing elasticity and moisture.

CERAMIDES Lipid molecules within cell membranes, they help cells form a protective layer that plumps skin and retains moisture.
CHOLESTEROL An important barrier lipid, it has water-binding properties and is crucial to maintaining proper barrier function.
FATTY ACIDS Polyunsaturated fats crucial to proper barrier function, examples are: Cranberry Seed oil, Black Raspberry seed oil, Chia seed oil, prickly pear seed oil, evening primrose oil.
PHOSPHATIDYL SERINE A phospholipid that is an important (though small) component of the lipid barrier. Some studies show topical application slows wrinkling by inhibiting enzymes that break down collagen.

I was referred this by my esthetician and while I still get the occasional breakout using this it doesn’t seem to be that great. I do feel like it’s moisturizing however would probably work better if I lived in a humid climate. I live in Lake Tahoe with very dry air and have been using this in conjunction with the barrier restore serum. Would not purchase either again, I don’t think their effectiveness justifies the price.
Immediately soothes, takes down redness, plumps and provides barrier against further aggressors (environmental, temperature, masks,etc). A product that I stop using because I think my skin no longer requires it, that I always return to. For reference, I’m 52, menopausal, dry and experience reactivity if I over indulge in topicals and or food/drink.
Skin looks moist and healthy
Have received many compliments since I've been using.
This definitely has a bit of a smell but you get used to it and it is worth it. Your skin will thank you and you can feel how luxurious the oil is when you pat it on. Like soaking your skin in magic overnight.
