147 Barrier Cream

Dr. Althea 147 Barrier Cream is a hydrating, barrier-repair moisturizer designed to replenish the skin’s protective layer, soothe irritation, and deliver long-lasting hydration. It contains a blend of ceramides, multi-layered hyaluronic acids, and calming azulene, and is fragrance-free, vegan, and gentle enough for sensitive skin.

Features and Benefits

• Barrier Strengthening: Guaiazulene (azulene) helps reinforce the skin’s natural barrier and improve moisture retention.
• Deep Hydration: Packed with seven types of hyaluronic acid to deliver moisture at multiple levels.
• Nourishment & Soothing: Includes avocado extract, ceramides, Paeonia albiflora flower extract, argan and Camellia seed oils, plus tocopherol for calming and nutrition.
• Light, Non‑Greasy Texture: Despite its richness, it absorbs quickly without a greasy feel.
• Sensitive‑Skin Safe: Free of artificial colors, fragrance, and parabens—gentle and vegan-certified.
• Calming Properties: Azulene, derived from chamomile oil, has known soothing effects for irritated or dry skin.

Suitable Skin Types

• Ideal for: Dry, sensitive, compromised, or irritated skin. Excellent for skin needing barrier repair and deep hydration.
• Not ideal for: Those with oily or acne-prone skin might find it too rich. In such cases, Dr. Althea's 345 Relief Cream might be more suitable.

Sun sensitivity: Azulene can increase photosensitivity—apply sunscreen during daytime.

Patch test advised: With any new skincare, test on a small area first, especially if skin is reactive.

Not for oily/acne-prone skin: Its richer texture may feel heavy or clog pores—consider lighter alternatives if that's your concern.
