What the brand claims
In the brand’s own words, quoted as written.
“Soothing & Barrier Support Serum is a multi-active formula designed to address compromised skin barrier concerns, delivering an immediate 86% boost in hydration after a single application and helping to strengthen the skin barrier within 2 hours. It combines eight key technologies including ceramide complex, 2% niacinamide, bisabolol, gallic acid derivatives, and Centella asiatica phytotechnologies to soothe irritation, reduce redness, improve uneven texture, and support long-term barrier resilience, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.”
