The moisture barrier has been a hot topic in skincare lately, for good reason. Think of your skin’s moisture barrier as a protective shield that locks in necessary moisture and also helps to protect your skin from pollution. When your moisture barrier is compromised, you might notice more dryness, which can lead to redness and discomfort. When your skin barrier is compromised, it loses even more hydration, which can cause the problem to worsen and hinder the skin’s natural repair process. Barrier repair products, like the Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Advanced Repair Barrier Cream, are formulated to support the skin’s natural moisture barrier by hydrating and locking in moisture, thereby supporting the skin’s natural repair process, as well as soothing redness and irritation due to dryness. Kiehl’s sent me the cream to review, and as someone with dry, sensitive skin, I couldn’t wait to try it. Keep reading for my full review, below.
