My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit Dermalogica Barrier Repair Cream is primarily intended for sensitive, reactive skin or skin prone to dryness and redness. My analysis of the formula reveals Dermalogica's clear desire to restore and strengthen the skin barrier, while providing comfort and protection against external aggressions. This product is part of an advanced dermo-cosmetic approach, ideal for skin weakened by environmental factors or irritating treatments.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three key ingredients stand out in this formula:

• Silicones (Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone) They form a non-occlusive protective film on the skin's surface, limiting insensible water loss and providing an immediate feeling of softness. Their barrier action is essential for damaged skin.
• Bisabolol : Derived from chamomile, it has recognized soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, reducing discomfort and redness.
• Vegetable oils (oat, evening primrose, borage) Rich in essential fatty acids, they restore skin suppleness and help repair the lipid barrier.

The presence of vitamin E and C derivatives enhances antioxidant protection, limiting the impact of oxidative stress on the skin.

Tips and Application Ritual

I recommend applying this cream in the morning and/or evening, on clean, dry skin, as the last step in your skincare routine. It can be combined with moisturizing or soothing serums, but it is best to avoid immediate combination with powerful exfoliating active ingredients (acids, retinoids) so as not to over-stress sensitive skin.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

Dermalogica Barrier Repair stands out for its sensorial, non-greasy texture and its effectiveness in repairing the skin. Its fragrance-free formula limits the risk of irritation, which is a plus for sensitive skin. The only downside is that the high silicone content may not be suitable for all skin types, but its safety has been proven. In conclusion, it is an excellent choice for restoring and protecting fragile skin.
