Barrier repair
A weakened skin barrier can lead to redness, irritation, and tightness. Common signs may also include the skin feeling excessively dry, reactive, and sensitive due to excessive exfoliation, changing weather conditions, or intense UV exposure.

Take a break from exfoliating products and retinoids, and instead focus on incorporating barrier-strengthening ingredients such as ceramides, oats, antioxidants, and hyaluronic acid.
