Product summary

Judging from the ingredient list, "SKIN&LAB - Barrierderm Relief Balm" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. SKIN& LAB - Barrierderm Relief Balm ticks this box. Humectants in this product (alanine, algae extract, arginine, aspartic acid and fructooligosaccharides) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Ceramide np, algae extract, cholesterol, arginine and butyrospermum parkii butter in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

Ingredient callouts
