Barrier Damage
Discover ingredients and formulations designed to help help repair and strengthen a compromised skin barrier.
What is Barrier Damage
A damaged skin barrier loses moisture more easily and lets irritants in, leading to dryness, stinging, redness, and tightness. Over-exfoliation, harsh products, and weather changes are common causes. Barrier-repairing formulas with lipids and soothing ingredients help restore comfort and resilience.
