High-level description: A deeply hydrating barrier cream combining ectoin, ceramide NP and 7 types of hyaluronic acid to strengthen the moisture barrier and keep skin comfortable, with a silky finish that leaves no residue.

Category: Moisturiser

A barrier cream whose name spells out the formula: 1 barrier care ingredient, 4 nutritional ingredients and 7 hyaluronic acids.

Ectoin protects and comforts the moisture barrier, while ceramide NP, betaine, betulin and NAD nourish the skin.

The renewed formula adds squalane and a soothing touch of guaiazulene, the natural azulene behind its soft blue tint.

Silky and light despite its depth of hydration, it sinks in with no residue. Any skin type with a stressed barrier can use it, and normal to dry skin will love it most.

The 147 concept is simple and clever: one barrier hero, four nourishers and a seven type hyaluronic complex hydrating at different depths.
Ectoin is a hardworking barrier molecule that helps protect and comfort skin under daily stress.
Ceramide NP, squalane and beta-glucan reinforce the barrier while centella and guaiazulene keep it calm.
The silky texture sinks in with no residue, rich enough for night yet comfortable under SPF and make-up.
Curated pick: The barrier cream we suggest first when skin feels dry, tight or overworked. Its sibling, the 345 Relief Cream, is the calmer for redness-prone days: choose one per routine depending on what your skin needs.

Ectoin – A protective barrier molecule that helps defend skin's moisture barrier and keep it comfortable through daily stress.
7-Type Hyaluronic Acid Complex – Hydrates across different skin layers for plump, lasting moisture.
Ceramide NP & Beta-Glucan – Replenish the skin barrier and help it hold on to moisture.
NAD & Betulin – A nourishing duo supporting skin vitality and the look of elasticity.
Guaiazulene & Centella – Naturally derived soothers that calm visible redness and give the cream its soft blue tint.

After your serum, take an appropriate amount of cream.
Spread gently along the skin texture until absorbed.
Use morning and evening as your moisturiser step.

Step 1: Oil Cleanser → Step 2: Water-Based Cleanser → Step 3: Exfoliator → Step 4: Toner → Step 5: Essence → Step 6: Serum / Ampoule → Step 7: Face Mask → Step 8: Eye Care → Step 9: Moisturiser (This Product) → Step 10: Suncream (AM)

Skin Types: Dry, Normal, Combination, Oily, Sensitive (especially suited to normal and dry skin)

Concerns: Dryness, dehydration, weakened barrier, tightness, redness

Pairs well with: Hydrating serums and toners. Hyaluronic or PDRN layers underneath feed the 7 type hyaluronic complex, and the 345 Relief Cream Mist makes a lovely toner-step partner from the same brand.

Compatible with: All actives, including retinoids, vitamin C, exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA/PHA), niacinamide and peptides. As a gentle buffering moisturiser it helps skin tolerate the stronger actives applied before it.

Avoid using with: No conflicts with actives. Just use one moisturiser per routine: choose this or the 345 Relief Cream for the day, rather than layering cream on cream.

Layering tip: Apply as your last skincare step at night, or before SPF in the morning. Give serums a minute to absorb first.

Pro Tip: A true barrier comfort cream, so use it to steady the rest of your routine. Using retinoids? Try the sandwich method: a thin layer before and after to cushion dry or sensitive skin. Pressed over slightly damp skin it locks in extra hydration. Great as a barrier reset cream on days when you skip strong actives.
