Description
Restorative cream for a weakened skin barrier
The skin barrier is the outer protective layer that retains moisture and shields the skin from external irritants. When this barrier weakens, due to a medical-cosmetic treatment, building up retinol use, cold, or a condition like rosacea, the skin feels tight, dry, and sensitive, resulting in redness and increased moisture loss. At such times, the skin needs care that restores without causing irritation.
The Sensilis Skin Rescue Barrier was developed for this purpose: a light cream that visibly and intensively restores the barrier function. The formula combines five types of ceramides, four forms of hyaluronic acid, and prebiotics to repair, saturate with moisture, and soothe the skin. The result is quickly noticeable: moisture loss decreased by 27% within 24 hours and hydration increased by 35% within 30 minutes.

- Reduces moisture loss quickly: -27% TEWL within 24 hours

Active ingredients
5 ceramides (EOP, NS, NP, AS, and AP): Ceramides are fatty molecules that naturally form the "cement" between skin cells, keeping the barrier waterproof and strong. In weakened skin, these ceramides become depleted. This cream replenishes five different types, in a composition that mimics the natural skin structure, allowing the barrier to recover fully and specifically, and the skin to retain moisture again.
4 types of hyaluronic acid: Hyaluronic acid binds and retains moisture in the skin. By combining four forms with different molecular weights, the skin is hydrated on multiple levels: the smaller molecules penetrate deeper, while the larger ones form a moisture buffer on the surface. Together, they provide an immediate plumping and long-lasting hydrating effect.
Prebiotics: Prebiotics feed the beneficial microorganisms living on the skin, known as the microbiome. A healthy, balanced microbiome is essential for a strong barrier and calm skin. By supporting this balance, the cream helps make the skin more resilient to irritations and sensitivity.
Licorice extract (liquorice): A plant-based extract known for its soothing and redness-reducing properties. It soothes sensitive, irritated skin and supports comfort during recovery, making this ingredient particularly valuable for skin with rosacea or couperose.

Frequently asked questions
What does it mean that my skin barrier is damaged?
A damaged or weakened skin barrier means the outer protective layer no longer functions properly. The skin then loses moisture more quickly and is less protected against irritants, resulting in dryness, tightness, redness, and sensitivity. This cream restores that barrier with ceramides and hyaluronic acid, so the skin retains moisture and calms down.
Can I use this cream after a peeling, laser treatment, or while building up retinol use?
Yes, that is exactly what the cream is developed for. After a medical-cosmetic procedure or during the adjustment phase of retinol (retinization), the skin is vulnerable and needs recovery. The soothing, barrier-repairing formula supports the skin during this period. Always follow the advice of your practitioner during medical treatment.
Why are ceramides so important for my skin?
Ceramides form the natural "glue" between your skin cells, keeping the barrier strong and waterproof. In weakened or sensitive skin, these ceramides become depleted, causing moisture to escape and the skin to become vulnerable. By replenishing five different ceramides, this cream helps restore the skin's natural structure.
Is this cream suitable for skin with rosacea or couperose?
Yes. Thanks to the soothing licorice extract and the barrier-repairing formula, the cream is especially suitable for skin with redness and a tendency to rosacea and couperose. The cream reduces redness and provides comfort to the skin without causing irritation.
Can I use this cream both during the day and at night?
Yes, the Skin Rescue Barrier is suitable for both day and night use. During the day, the anti-pollution effect provides extra protection against pollution; always use sun protection as the last step in the morning.
