DR.ALTHEA 147 Barrier Cream — 50ml
Your skin barrier is your first line of defence — and the DR.ALTHEA 147 Barrier Cream is designed to keep it strong. Developed by dermatologists, this targeted cream works to reinforce, restore, and maintain a healthy skin barrier, making it an essential step for anyone dealing with dryness, sensitivity, or barrier damage.
The 147 complex delivers a precise blend of actives that work in harmony to lock in moisture, reduce transepidermal water loss, and shield skin from environmental aggressors. Silky and comfortable on application, it absorbs without heaviness — leaving skin feeling fortified, smooth, and visibly calmer.
- 147 Barrier Complex — targeted actives to reinforce and restore the skin barrier
- Reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL) for lasting hydration
- Calms sensitivity and protects against environmental stressors
- Lightweight, non-greasy texture — suitable for morning and evening use
- 50ml — precise and portable for daily barrier care
- Dermatologist-tested; ideal for dry, sensitive, and compromised skin
How to Use
- After cleansing, toning, and applying any serums or treatments, take a pea-to-pearl-sized amount of cream onto your fingertips.
- Warm between fingertips and gently press into the face and neck using upward, lifting motions.
- Pat gently until fully absorbed — do not rub.
- Use morning and evening as the final moisturising step in your skincare routine.
- In the morning, always follow with SPF 30+.
Tip: The 147 Barrier Cream is particularly effective for skin that has been compromised by over-exfoliation, harsh cleansers, environmental stress, or post-procedure recovery. If your skin is feeling tight, reactive, or sensitised, consider temporarily simplifying your routine to just cleanser → 147 Barrier Cream → SPF (morning) to allow the barrier to fully recover before reintroducing actives. For an intensive overnight repair, apply a slightly thicker layer in the evening as a sleeping mask.
Key Ingredients
- 147 Barrier Complex — DR.ALTHEA’s proprietary barrier-reinforcing blend of 1 ceramide, 4 fatty acids, and 7 amino acids — the three essential building blocks of a healthy skin barrier. Together, they replenish the skin’s natural lipid matrix, restore barrier integrity, and significantly reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) for lasting, deep hydration and long-term barrier resilience.
- Ceramides — Skin-identical lipids that form the “mortar” between skin cells, holding the barrier together and preventing moisture loss. Ceramide levels naturally decline with age, stress, and over-cleansing — making topical replenishment essential for maintaining a healthy, resilient complexion.
- Essential Fatty Acids (Linoleic Acid & Oleic Acid) — Barrier-repairing lipids that restore the skin’s natural lipid balance, improve barrier function, and reduce inflammation — particularly beneficial for dry, eczema-prone, or barrier-compromised skin.
- Amino Acid Complex — The building blocks of the skin’s Natural Moisturising Factor (NMF) that maintain optimal hydration levels within the skin, support barrier repair, and improve skin texture and suppleness with consistent use.
- Soothing & Hydrating Actives (Centella Asiatica, Hyaluronic Acid & Panthenol) — Calming, moisture-binding, and barrier-repairing ingredients that work synergistically with the 147 complex to reduce redness, lock in hydration, and accelerate barrier recovery — ensuring the cream delivers both immediate comfort and long-term barrier strengthening.
