Product Description

This is not just another barrier serum. Combining the power of leading barrier science with advanced hydration, NEW Ectoin Hydro-Barrier Serum is your daily non-negotiable for the ultimate healthy-looking skin. Clinically proven to deeply hydrate and strengthen the skin's barrier in 15 minutes, get ready for visibly bouncier and smoother skin in just 7 days. ​

A breakthrough in barrier skincare, the dual-action formula is proven to deliver hydration up to 10 surface layers deep. Hero ingredient Ectoin simultaneously boosts hydration whilst helping to build barrier strength to keep your skin functioning at its best. The addition of multi-molecular Hyaluronic Acid and a 1% barrier blend helps to restore the protective skin barrier from the outside in, enabling it to retain hydration more effectively. With continued daily use, Ectoin Hydro-Barrier Serum helps to visibly improve 5 signs of a compromised skin barrier: dryness, flakiness, dullness, redness, and slackness. ​

The milky, lightweight texture effortlessly sinks into the skin leaving an immediate veil of hydration. The fast-absorbing, non-tacky formula layers perfectly under other skincare and makeup. Suitable for use as part of the AM and PM routine.

Directions

Use twice daily, AM & PM. Always use as your first serum after cleansing.

Apply a pea-sized amount to face and neck and follow with preferred treatments and moisturizer to seal the benefits into skin. Always finish with SPF for your AM routine.​


INKEY TIP: Apply to damp skin to help lock in hydration

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Magic potion! My menopausal skin crisis happened just as this product was launched. My skin was suddenly reacting to products I had used for months/years. It was red, dry, flaky and thick. I took a chance and bought the Ectoin Hydro-Barrier Serum to see if it would help. It did an amazing job of calming my skin. When I finished my first bottle, I decided to use up my old products as I hate waste. Big mistake! Within a few days, everything came back. Needless to say I'm back to the Ectoin and instantly, my skin feels calm. No burn. The photos aren't a direct before and after but show how good this has been for me overall. Amazing stuff!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I LOVE this serum! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this as an "upgrade" to the hyaluronic acid serum which I liked but didn't love. Right from the first use my skin just loves this serum. It goes on smoothly, works well under makeup and hydrates my often dry skin without feeling heavy or greasy. Over time my skin looks brighter and healthier, I guess just generally more balanced/happy. I have sensitive, dry and acne prone skin. The only downside for me is that it doesn't last as long as I'd like!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Ectoin Hydro Barrier Serum [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Matches perfectly with being first serum and Polyglutamic Acid Serum going on as final serum. Makes me feel more hydrated especially as I probably don’t drink enough water! A little goes a long way despite having slightly dry skin
