Why Derms Love

Barrier Balancing Water Cream is perfect for my patients who struggle with acne or rosacea, and have combination or oily skin. It restores the skin barrier and hydrates the skin without leaving it
feeling greasy.

A good moisturizer is essential to counteract dryness & irritation from acne treatments–it needs to be lightweight, and fragrance-free. This is my new go-to for anyone who struggles to find a moisturizer they can rely on.
Dr. Neal Bhatia, MD
Director of Clinical Dermatology, Therapeutics Clinical Research & Skinfix Scientific Advisory Board Member
Combo skin is extremely challenging: the oiliness can actually be a response to being too dry, and overcompensating. A gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer like this is exactly what I like to use in those situations.

Founding Director, Chicago Integrative Eczema Center & Skinfix Scientific Advisory Board Member
I have sensitive/reactive/eczema-prone skin—can I use Barrier Balancing Water Cream?

Barrier Balancing Water Cream has been reviewed for safety on a panel of people who don't have eczema. But because we know that skin with a weakened moisture barrier can feel extra sensitive, it's fragrance-free, safe for sensitive skin, and non-comedogenic. Of the 32 people in our clinical trial, 91% said their skin felt less reactive and more resilient after one week.

Can I layer Barrier Balancing Water Cream with acne treatments/acids?

Great question! Barrier Balancing Water Cream is dermatologist-approved, acne-safe, and designed to support your skin barrier with essential, soothing hydration. In other words: it's the perfect complement to acne treatments or acids (like retinol or tretinoin).

How is Barrier Balancing Water Cream different from Skin Barrier Restoring Gel Cream?

The difference between Barrier Balancing Water Cream and Skin Barrier Restoring Gel Cream is the texture, active ingredients, and results. Barrier Balancing Water Cream is even more weightless, less lipid-rich, and was designed to deliver a burst of refreshing hydration while it visibly balances shine with an acne-safe formula. Skin Barrier Restoring Gel Cream is lightweight, and features our Triple Lipid Complex to lock in hydration for visibly plumper skin.

Can I wear this under makeup?

Yes–while Barrier Balancing Water Cream wasn't designed as a primer, 97% of testers in our clinical trial said it layered into their routine without pilling.

Is there currently a refill/will there be a refill?

Barrier Balancing Water Cream was designed to be refillable (just like our Triple Lipid-Peptide Cream and Skin Barrier Restoring Gel Cream), and while it isn't launching with one, we plan to make refill pods available soon.

Is this safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

Barrier Balancing Water Cream has been reviewed and tested for safety on a panel of people who aren’t pregnant or breastfeeding. It does not include any ingredients known to be unsafe while pregnant or breastfeeding, but as with any new product, we recommend checking with your healthcare provider before adding it to your routine.
