Why it works
Barrier Balance Active Serum is a lightweight serum designed to support hydration, skin comfort and a balanced microbiome. It helps reinforce daily barrier-support routines while leaving skin feeling soft, hydrated and comfortable.
Microbiome support
Lactobacillus Ferment, Inulin and Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide help support a balanced skin environment. Skin feels more comfortable and resilient over time.
Hydration boost
Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate help attract and retain moisture in the skin's surface layers. This supports smoother, plumper and more hydrated-feeling skin.
Comfort and conditioning
Opuntia Ficus-Indica Stem Extract and Hydrolyzed Jojoba Esters help support softness and skin comfort. The result is skin that feels less tight and more supple.
Key Ingredients
Microbiome-Supporting Complex
Lactobacillus Ferment, Inulin and Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide help support a balanced skin microbiome. This contributes to skin that feels more comfortable, resilient and well-supported.
Glycerin
A well-known humectant that helps attract moisture to the skin. It supports hydration and helps reduce dry, tight-feeling skin.
Sodium Hyaluronate
A form of hyaluronic acid that helps bind moisture within the skin's surface layers. It supports a smoother, plumper and more hydrated appearance.
Opuntia Ficus-Indica Stem Extract
A cactus-derived botanical extract that supports skin comfort and hydration. It helps contribute to a calmer and more comfortable skin feel.
How to use
Apply to clean skin morning and evening before moisturiser. Use daily as part of your hydration and barrier-support routine. During the day, follow with sunscreen as the final step of your skincare routine. For best results, pair with a barrier-support moisturiser.
FAQ
What does Barrier Balance Active Serum do?
Barrier Balance Active Serum helps support hydration, skin comfort and a balanced skin microbiome. It is designed to leave skin feeling softer, smoother and more resilient.
What does microbiome support mean in skincare?
The skin microbiome refers to the natural ecosystem on the skin’s surface. This serum includes Lactobacillus Ferment, Inulin and Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide to help support a balanced skin environment, which can help skin feel more comfortable and resilient.
Who is Barrier Balance Active Serum suitable for?
It is suitable for sensitive, dry, normal and combination skin types, particularly skin that feels dehydrated, reactive or in need of extra barrier support.
Is Barrier Balance Active Serum an exfoliating serum?
No. Although lactic acid appears in the ingredient list, the serum is not positioned as an exfoliating treatment. Its primary focus is hydration, microbiome support and skin comfort.
Can I use Barrier Balance Active Serum every day?
Yes. It is designed for daily use and can be applied both morning and evening as part of a regular skincare routine.
Can I use Barrier Balance Active Serum with active skincare products?
Yes. Apply it after cleansing and before moisturiser. Because this serum focuses on hydration, microbiome support and barrier comfort rather than exfoliation, it can fit well into routines with active ingredients. If your skin feels sensitive, use stronger actives separately and keep this serum as your hydration and comfort step.
How quickly will I notice results from Barrier Balance Active Serum?
Hydration and comfort benefits can often be felt shortly after application. Consistent use helps support ongoing skin hydration and a more balanced-feeling complexion.
Can I use Barrier Balance Active Serum during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
Pregnancy and breastfeeding safety are not clearly supported for this product. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or unsure, check with your healthcare provider before use.
