When the skin turns red, gets irritated, or reacts to everything, a simple moisturizer is not enough. The Skin Factor Barrier Gel Cream has been designed as a next-generation anti-aging and repairing treatment that works exactly where skin balance begins: in barrier function. Its lightweight, fresh, melting gel-cream texture wraps the skin in immediate comfort while growth factors, ceramides, niacinamide, and postbiotics work deep down to regenerate, strengthen, and restore the skin’s natural ability to defend itself.
Comprehensive treatment for sensitive, combination, or oily skin
Formulated for all skin types, but especially for those that are combination, oily, or sensitive and need repair without heaviness, Skin Factor Barrier combines biotechnological science and sensorial cosmetics to:
- Intensely and lastingly hydrate without leaving a greasy residue.
- Soothe redness, tightness, and irritations caused by an altered barrier.
- Smooth expression wrinkles and improve firmness and elasticity.
- Strengthen the skin barrier, reducing transepidermal water loss.
- Protect against pollution, UV radiation, and other environmental stressors.
Regenerating biotechnology and barrier reinforcement
Epidermal growth factors – Regeneration messengers
The growth factors present in the gel cream are messenger proteins obtained through green biotechnology from Nicotiana benthamiana, bioidentical to those produced by the skin itself. They coordinate communication between cells to optimize their repair processes.
- Stimulate cellular regeneration and help repair damaged tissues.
- Support the synthesis of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, improving density and firmness.
- Soften expression wrinkles and improve the skin’s overall texture.
- Strengthen the skin’s ability to heal and recover after external aggressions or dermatological treatments.
Ceramides 3 and 6, cholesterol, and sphingolipids – Cement of the skin barrier
The formula includes a combination of AP and NP ceramides, cholesterol, sphingosine (a ceramide precursor), and glycosphingolipids that reproduce the lipid architecture of a healthy barrier.
- Repair and strengthen barrier function, making the skin less reactive.
- Improve hydration by reducing transepidermal water loss.
- Increase elasticity and flexibility of the stratum corneum.
- Protect against external aggressors such as cold, pollution, or irritants.
Biotechnological squalane – Bimimetic, non-greasy hydration
Squalane and squalene, of biotechnological origin from sugarcane, offer a lipid profile very similar to the skin’s natural sebum.
- Intensely hydrate without clogging pores or leaving a heavy feel.
- Strengthen the hydrolipid film and reduce dehydration.
- Provide immediate softness and elasticity to the touch.
- Help protect against environmental and oxidative damage.
5% Niacinamide – Calms, evens, and strengthens the barrier
Niacinamide at a high concentration acts as a true treatment essential for sensitive and irritated skin.
- Calms redness and irritation, improving everyday comfort.
- Helps even out the tone and blur small spots.
- Regulates excess sebum, visually refining the pore in combination or oily skin.
- Stimulates ceramide production, further strengthening the barrier function.
Multi-layer hydration and soothing effect
The moisturizing system combines hyaluronic acid (Sodium Hyaluronate), glycerin and panthenol (provitamin B5):
- Hyaluronic acid acts like a “molecular sponge,” retaining water and providing a plumping effect on fine lines.
- Glycerin draws in and holds water on the surface, leaving skin flexible and comfortable.
- Panthenol deeply hydrates, soothes irritated skin, and supports barrier repair.
Centella asiatica and postbiotics – Resilient skin and balanced microbiome
Centella asiatica extract provides regenerative, soothing, and antioxidant properties:
- Stimulates collagen production, improving firmness and elasticity.
- Calms redness and inflammation, ideal for sensitized skin.
- Speeds up recovery after irritation or intensive treatments.
The Lactococcus ferment lysate and other biotechnological-source postbiotics reinforce the health of the skin microbiota:
- Improve hydration and elasticity by optimizing the barrier function.
- Help maintain a balanced pH and more resilient skin.
- Stimulate the synthesis of key proteins such as filaggrin, essential for a complete, intact stratum corneum.
Vitamin E – Essential antioxidant shield
Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate, Tocopherol) completes the formula as a defense against oxidative stress:
- Neutralizes free radicals responsible for premature aging.
- Strengthens the skin barrier and improves hydration.
- Soothes irritated skin and reduces redness.
Texture and sensorial feel
Its light, melting gel-cream texture glides on easily and absorbs quickly, leaving a smooth, flexible finish with no shine. It’s ideal both as a single moisturizer for combination or oily skin, and as a repairing layer in richer routines for dry skin, without compromising sensorial feel or comfort.
Application ritual
Use Gel Cream Skin Factor Barrier as the central step of your repair routine:
- In the morning, apply to clean, dry skin on your face, neck, and décolleté after your usual serum. Always finish with sun protection.
- At night, apply after the serum and before a richer cream if your skin is dry, or as the last step if you prefer lighter textures.
- If your skin is sensitized by retinoids, peels, or climate conditions, reduce the rest of the actives and let Skin Factor Barrier be the core of your routine until balance is restored.
