Paula's Choice Barrier Repair Advanced Moisturiser

Your skin's barrier is its first line of defense against environmental stressors and moisture loss. Paula's Choice Barrier Repair Advanced Moisturiser is specially formulated to strengthen and replenish this vital barrier, ensuring optimal hydration and protection throughout the day. It does so by encouraging the skin's own ceramides to self-hydrate, meaning your skin barrier can function at its best – all the time. The formula also protects the skin's natural collagen levels for firmer-looking skin & reduced look of wrinkles with continued use. Tripeptide-5 helps to support firmness & elasticity, while watermelon seed oil helps to maintain hydration and soothe the skin.

Q: I have overly irritated & sensitised skin, can I use the RESIST Barrier Repair Advanced Moisturiser?
A: Yes, because it is a repairing moisturiser that helps to strengthen, smooth & improve a delicate skin barrier. This moisturiser also helps to deliver the ingredients that your skin needs to create its own ceramides which are the foundational building blocks of healthy, strong skin. Note, however, that this is not a wound-healing product and should not be used on broken skin.

Q: I have rosacea-prone, sensitive skin – is the RESIST Barrier Repair Advanced Moisturiser suitable for me?
A: Yes, because the formula is packed with barrier-strengthening & soothing ingredients which can be helpful in improving symptoms of rosacea such as redness, sensitivity and skin that feels dry, tight, itchy, or uncomfortable.

Q: What is the specialised moisture complex in the RESIST Barrier Repair Advanced Moisturiser?
A: The specialised moisture complex is an advanced hydrating blend of ingredients that occur as part of the skin’s Natural Moisturising Factor (NMF). With age and accumulated environmental damage, skin becomes less able to replenish these hydrating substances, leading to dryness and dullness. Lack of these moisturising factors also impacts skin cell turnover (causing it to slow & become uneven) leading to a water imbalance in the uppermost layers. Key ingredients in this complex include sodium PCA, sodium hyaluronate, glycerine, urea and trehalose.

Q: How does the formula help the skin to self-hydrate?
A: Via a specialised combination of ingredients that work together to keep the skin hydrated and protected. Glycerine, urea & sodium PCA team up to hold water in the top layers of our skin. Trehalose (a kind of sugar) helps make the skin's outer layers stronger & better at keeping moisture in. Sodium hyaluronate acts like a water reservoir on the surface of our skin. Polyquaternium-51 (also included in this formula) helps strengthen the skin's protective barrier while the combination of ceramides & cholesterol in the complex further helps to repair and strengthen.
