Gel Cream Skin Factor Barrier has been formulated to restore your skin’s essential balance when the skin barrier is compromised. Its lightweight, melting gel-cream texture envelops the face in a veil of deep hydration and immediate comfort, while a complex of growth factors, ceramides, squalane, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and postbiotics works in synergy to repair, strengthen, and protect the skin against daily stressors. Ideal for combination, oily, or sensitive skin that seeks cosmetic sophistication with maximum tolerability.
Who this treatment is for
Skin Factor Barrier is especially indicated for:
- Sensitive, irritated, or compromised skin, particularly if it is combination or oily.
- Faces affected by dehydration, redness, a tight feeling, or loss of elasticity.
- Skin subjected to dermatological treatments, hormonal changes, stress, pollution, or intense environmental exposures.
- People who want a daily-use regenerating cream that combines anti-aging action and barrier repair.
- Those who prefer light textures, rapid absorption, and a comfortable finish, with no greasy residue.
Key skin benefits
-
Intense, long-lasting hydration with a light-to-the-touch feel, thanks to a precise combination of humectants and biomimetic lipids.
- Regeneration and repair for sensitive or compromised skin, with a visible improvement in comfort and resilience.
- Smoothing expression lines and improving firmness and elasticity, with an overall anti-aging effect.
- Structural reinforcement of the barrier function, helping to prevent transepidermal water loss.
- Protection against pollution, UV radiation, and other external agents that accelerate skin aging.
Barrier technology and regenerative biotechnology
Growth factors – Green biotechnology for skin regeneration
The epidermal growth factors included in Skin Factor Barrier are messenger proteins obtained through green biotechnology from the plant Nicotiana benthamiana. They are bioidentical to those synthesized by the skin itself, and they coordinate communication between cells to optimize their repair processes.
- They stimulate cellular regeneration and help repair damaged tissues.
- They promote the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, improving density and firmness.
- They reduce wrinkles and improve the skin’s overall quality.
- They strengthen the mechanisms of healing and recovery after external aggressors or aesthetic procedures.
Ceramides (3 and 6), cholesterol, and sphingolipids – Complete skin barrier architecture
The formula includes a combination of NP (3) and AP (6) ceramides, cholesterol, sphingosine (a ceramide precursor), and glycosphingolipids, recreating the lipid profile of a healthy barrier.
- They repair and strengthen the skin barrier, key to skin that is less reactive and more stable.
- They improve hydration and reduce dryness by decreasing transepidermal water loss.
- They increase elasticity and flexibility of the stratum corneum.
- They protect against external aggressors such as cold, pollution, irritants, or sudden changes in temperature.
As a reference, studies have shown that at around 35 years of age, ceramide levels in the face can decrease by about 38%, which is why topical replenishment is essential to preserve the youthfulness of the skin.
Biotechnological Squalane – High-purity biomimetic lipid
The squalane used in this formula is of biotechnological origin (derived from sugarcane) and has exceptional affinity with the skin, as it is an analog to squalene naturally present in human sebum.
- Intensely and lastingly hydrates without a greasy feel.
- Strengthens the barrier function and helps prevent water loss.
- Improves skin elasticity and softness.
- Provides protection against environmental damage and oxidative stress.
5% Niacinamide – Tone correction, soothing, and barrier reinforcement
Niacinamide (vitamin B3) is a multi-action active ingredient that is especially interesting for sensitive and combination/oily skin.
- Helps reduce dark spots and even out skin tone, improving radiance.
- Soothes redness and irritations, providing visible comfort.
- Regulates excess sebum and improves the appearance of pores without drying the skin.
- Strengthens the skin’s natural barrier by stimulating ceramide synthesis.
- Provides antioxidant action against aging induced by free radicals.
Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin, and Panthenol – Multi-layer hydration and a calming effect
Skin Factor Barrier’s moisturizing system combines hyaluronic acid (Sodium Hyaluronate), glycerin, and panthenol (provitamin B5):
- Hyaluronic acid acts as a “water reservoir,” delivering intense hydration and a plumping effect on fine lines.
- Glycerin attracts and retains water, keeping skin flexible, smooth, and elastic.
- Panthenol hydrates, soothes, and repairs, reducing the feeling of tightness and irritation.
Centella Asiatica – Repair, firmness, and soothing action
Centella asiatica extract strengthens the formula’s regenerative profile:
- Stimulates collagen production, improving firmness and elasticity.
- Accelerates skin repair processes.
- Soothes redness and inflammation, ideal for sensitized skin.
- Provides antioxidant action, protecting against premature aging.
Postbiotics (Lactococcus ferment lysate and Bacillus/folic acid ferment) – Balanced microbiota and more resilient skin
Lactococcus ferment lysate and other postbiotic complexes of biotechnological origin reproduce the benefits of probiotics in a safe and stable way:
- Strengthen the barrier function and protect against external aggressions.
- Improve skin hydration and elasticity.
- Help maintain skin pH balance.
- Stimulate the synthesis of key proteins such as filaggrin, essential for a strong, well-structured stratum corneum.
Vitamin E – Essential antioxidant defense
Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate, Tocopherol) completes the set of protective actives:
- Neutralizes free radicals that accelerate aging.
- Strengthens the skin barrier and improves hydration.
- Soothes irritations and helps reduce redness.
- Enhances the effectiveness of other antioxidants present in the routine.
Texture and sensory experience
Its gel-cream texture is light, melting, and quickly absorbed, leaving a silky, comfortable finish, without excessive shine or a sticky feel. It is ideal as an everyday moisturizer for combination, oily, or sensitive skin that seeks anti-aging treatment and barrier repair without overloading the skin.
Recommended method of use
- Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin on the face, neck, and décolleté, in the morning and/or at night.
- Spread it with a gentle upward massage until fully absorbed.
- In the morning, use it as a treatment cream before sunscreen.
- At night, it can be used as the final moisturizer after the serum; for dry skin, a richer cream may be added as an additional step.
- To boost the regenerative and anti-aging effect, combine with Skin Factor Serum in the previous step of the routine.
