A damaged skin barrier is a common cause of skin problems such as sensitive skin, redness, dryness, irritation, and blemishes. The skin barrier — also known as the moisture barrier — consists of a protective layer of lipids, ceramides, and other skin components that retain moisture and protect the skin from external influences.

When this barrier becomes weakened by factors such as over-exfoliation, aggressive skincare, UV damage, air pollution, or aesthetic treatments, the skin can lose moisture more quickly and react more sensitively. Many people then experience complaints such as tight skin, increased sensitivity, or an unbalanced skin.

Therefore, restoring the skin barrier is an important step in improving skin condition. By supporting the skin with ingredients that promote hydration and barrier support, the skin can feel stronger, calmer, and better protected again.
