For years, deep hydration and barrier care have been synonymous with thick, heavy creams -- until now. The 'Barrier Balancing Water Cream' is a refreshing, lightweight solution for combination and oily skin, proving that serious skin nourishment doesn’t have to feel greasy.
Infused with a 2% humectant blend of hyaluronic acid and saccharide isomerate, this cream locks in hydration for up to 72 hours. A balancing complex of zinc-PCA, niacinamide, and green tea keeps excess shine in check while soothing redness, making it a game-changer for anyone dealing with oil imbalance. The formula also features a 1% heptapeptide solution, a prebiotic peptide blend that supports a healthy skin microbiome for lasting clarity.
Non-comedogenic, fragrance-free, and even safe for fungal acne, this water cream delivers hydration without clogging pores. After just one week, skin appears softer and pores look visibly refined. Available at Sephora Canada starting March 20, The Barrier Balancing Water Cream is here to redefine hydration for all skin types.
