A deeply moisturizing treatment that corrects dryness, tightness and visible flaking, and rebuilds the skin's moisture barrier. Made for the night off between active ingredients. Most barrier products work like a bandage, sealing the surface with occlusives. Renée Rouleau's Barrier3 technology adds two more mechanisms, fatty acids and omega-rich plant oils, which penetrate and restore the skin's lipid profile from underneath rather than only sitting on top of it. KEY BENEFITS Instantly smooths dry, flaking skin caused by exfoliating acids, benzoyl peroxide, retinol and prescription retinoids Three methods of barrier repair working together: fatty acids, omega-rich plant oils and occlusives Reduces the appearance of redness and relieves irritation Lessens visible dryness and itchiness caused by eczema on face or body Calms skin after professional peels and laser treatments TWO WAYS TO USE IT Overnight. Apply an even layer in place of moisturizer, leave on overnight, rinse in the morning. Fifteen-minute reset. Apply a generous layer to clean, dry skin, leave 15 minutes, rinse with warm water. Use once a week, or more often as needed. BEST FOR anyone using retinoids or acids who needs a recovery night, and for compromised, flaking barriers.
