Dr. Althea 147 Barrier Cream
A Korean barrier cream from Dr. Althea for skin that's dry, tight, or reacting to everything. Most moisturizers sit on top and wear off by lunch. Rebuilds the layer that's letting moisture escape in the first place, so skin holds hydration all day and stops flaring at things it used to tolerate.
Five ceramides do the repair work, seven types of hyaluronic acid do the hydrating. Rich enough to seal everything in, light enough to wear under makeup without pilling. Fragrance-free. 50ml.
- Five Ceramides — Rebuilds the Barrier — ceramide NP, AP, AS, NS, NG, and EOP. That's the full lipid family your skin's barrier is actually built from. Most creams include one. This restores the whole structure, which is what stops moisture escaping long-term.
- Seven Types of Hyaluronic Acid — seven molecular weights hydrating at different depths, from the surface down. Skin stays plump all day instead of drinking it up in an hour.
- Paeonia Albiflora — Patented Barrier Active — Dr. Althea's proprietary extract, built specifically to reduce sensitivity and improve how well skin holds water.
- Guaiazulene — Calms Inflamed Skin — the naturally derived blue anti-inflammatory. This is what makes the cream comfortable on eczema-prone, irritated, or over-treated skin.
- Artemisia, Avocado, and Kale at 10,000ppm Each — mugwort to soothe, avocado for nourishing lipids, kale for antioxidants. All at meaningful concentrations, not trace amounts.
- Rich but Not Greasy — thick enough to seal everything in, light enough to wear under makeup and sunscreen without pilling or sliding.

Apply as the moisturizer step after your serum, morning and night. Warm between fingers and press into skin. Layer over serums to seal them in, and use a thicker layer at night on very dry or irritated skin.
