PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Restorative Moisture That Calms Visible Redness and Strengthens the Skin Barrier

SkinMedica Barrier Calming Cream is a restorative, noncomedogenic moisturizer formulated to soothe, hydrate, and fortify a delicate or compromised skin barrier. It delivers immediate comfort while helping skin build greater resilience against dryness, visible redness, irritation, and environmental stress.

Powered by a Calcium Strengthening Complex and Botanical Calming Complex, the formula helps rebalance the skin barrier, replenish essential moisture, and support the skin’s natural renewal process. Mondo grass root, niacinamide, glycerin, oat extract, panthenol, bisabolol, and skin-supporting lipids help calm discomfort and promote softer, healthier-looking skin.
