Science-backed and mushroom-led, this formula features a smart 5-ceramide complex that supplements and reinforces your skin’s natural ceramides. These ceramides boost moisture retention and expedite ceramide production, ensuring prolonged hydration.

This unique formulation combines the power of a balm with the velvety, cushion-like texture of a cream that absorbs into the skin in seconds.

Independent clinical trials conducted in Scotland have shown that the Barrier Cream improves skin barrier function by 59% in just 2 hours. PENTAVITIN®, one of the key ingredients, increases skin moisture by 275% after a single application.

Formulated for all skin types, it provides immediate comfort, repair, accelerated regeneration, and uniformity. This potent formula is a hybrid of fast-acting and long-term reparative ingredients. Its fast-absorbing, non-comedogenic, and non-acnegenic properties act as a guardian for your skin’s hydration.

I have hormonal acne and sensitive skin, it's difficult find a product that make my skin feel calm and soft without make my acne worse. I love the texture of the cream it's so light. My skin barrier is so much soft and pretty. When I use the cream I notice that minimize my pimples and calm them a little bit.
Caroline

very emollient cream for my face
Brandy Hardy

I thought this made a noticeable difference in just 5 days...can't wait to see what it does in the long run! I am 39 and seeing clear signs of aging. This is the kind of product I've been needing!
Matej Reisenbüchler

I struggle finding the right moisturiser for my skin because I have dry skin but also acne so I tend to go for lighter creams. The Barrier Cream is actually perfect for me because it keeps me hydrated through out the day while keeping its light weight texture. I have nothing but only good things to say about this product.
Benjamin Jordan

The armour cream that prepared my skin for the battle. Oils in control, pollution pushed aside, moisture secured.
Iris Ryan

Very lovely texture, and hydrates really well. Not too heavy, not too light. Really good formula
Lauren Swaminathan

Ashley Iacobs

I love how hydrating this product is! You can feel the hydration instantly and it gives you such a nice glow.
Stephanie

Love the texture of the cream! Very velvety and leaves the skin feeling very moisturized without feeling oily ❤️

I have to start from the moment I opened the Barrier Cream sample, because many skin care products have strong perfumes, sometimes very artificial and unnatural, and that is something that I really dislike, if I have to put it on my skin, specially on face. With Barrier Cream is the opposite: its cent is very soft and natural. When applying, it's very easy to spread and it's absorbed by the skin very quickly. After first applying, there is an instantly velvet-like sensation on skin, very pleasant. And I used to apply in the morning, after waking up and washing face, and didn't feel the need to re-apply it during the day, only after shower on gym days. I used to apply also at night, before bed, after washing my face, to let the miracle happen also during the night. After 5 days, the improvement that I noticed the most was the readiness that I usually had on cheeks, was gone! And I feel my skin more hydrated and with a healthier look. Finally, I have to say that I'm very new to skin care routine and I don't really like the idea of using many different products, but I feel that is possible to get very good results by only using the only Barrier Cream. It really helped me in this time of the year when my skin is in its worst shape (after festive season and also when I drink less water because it's winter). I'm already a fan! :)

Feels so nourishing when applied and soothed my angry winter skin. Feels moisturised but not greasy

Dear Herbar-team I wanted to express my gratitude for including me in the insider programme—being a part of it truly means a lot to me. A big shoutout to your team for not only extending this opportunity but also for sending over a sample of your innovative product, The Barrier Cream. 😄 I’m genuinely looking forward to more of your upcoming products. In my pursuit of effective and skin-friendly skincare solutions, I’ve looked for various options, and stumbling upon your brand, Herbar 🍄, has been a delightful discovery. Your brand resonates with me, and I’m already enamored. The barrier cream has seamlessly integrated into my routine for the past week, bringing about a noticeable transformation in my skin—now softer, thoroughly hydrated, and radiantly glowing. I’m particularly fond of its easy application, and the fact that a small amount covers my entire face is a feature I absolutely cherish. 🥰 Attached, you’ll find before and after pictures capturing the positive changes. The countdown to the official release next month has begun, and I’m eagerly anticipating unveiling not only the product but also the intriguing packaging design. Because I absolutely love your packaging! 🤩 Thank you once again for this exciting experience, and I’m eagerly looking forward to what your brand has in store. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions—I’m here to share my enthusiasm and feedback! Mush Love

The cream is a game changer. I usually break out when using new creams. Not in this case. And my daily razor burn on neck was soothed immediately. Especially when cleansing the face the next morning or evening you feel that the skin is still hydrated and plump. Will definitly buy this cream the moment it is available!
Annie

almost to eat. Fantastic texture. Amazing cream with great ingredients
Sandrine

Magic cream! At the first apply you can see the improvement of your skin. I can see my skin being plump and well hydrated. I will definitely get another one!
Judith

The cream feels super soft and makes your skin soft! The cream didn’t help with redness, but it did hydrate!
Maud

I absolutely loved applying the barrier cream. It feels super rich and instantly hydrates my skin. I can’t say my skin texture/barrier improved, because I tried the product for a short time. I ended using the product right before my period started, which is when my skin is normally more irritated. Other then that, I would love to use the cream more often because it felt like I was applying pure luxury to my face <3
Florien

Nice texture, healthy and subtile smell, felt kind and not aggressive on the skin, after one week my skin already feels healthier. I only hoped it would take more redness away, but my skin still shows red areas.

This unique formulation combines the power of a balm with the velvety, cushion-like texture of a cream that absorbs into the skin in seconds.

Love at first try

I recently purchased your three wonderful products: Face Nectar, Face Oil, and Barrier Cream. I first discovered your brand through my sister, who received a product from your pop-up at Parlamento Store. She immediately knew I'd love it, not only for the quality of the ingredients but also for the beautiful design.

She generously let me try the product, and I was instantly impressed. My skin felt hydrated and radiant all day long. After just one week, I was so pleased with the results that I decided to purchase my own products.

My rosacea, a condition I've struggled with for years, has significantly improved, and my skin feels calmer and softer than ever.

I'm truly impressed with your products and your commitment to quality. I'm a customer for life!

Very impressed with The Barrier Cream!

I've used 3 tubes now, and there's no going back! I'm so impressed with how smooth my skin becomes after using this, it's perfect under makeup which is something I've struggled with in the past as my skin can become oily. The cream absorbs super well, I would recommend it.
One comment is the little metal tube squeezer that comes with every box, it's not necessary every time, as I now have 3 of those things when I obviously need just 1, so it feels like a wasted by-product. Saying that, it's useful for getting the last cream out of the tube, but one would be enough.

Bravo Herbar

Bravo Herbar! I'm in love with this product. My skin is so much stronger, no breakouts or dryness. Helps a lot with tretinoina. Bravo!

Es muy agradable, absorbe súper, mi piel està atenció pelada👌🥂gracias

I have only been using this cream for a few weeks but - I can honestly say I will be using this for a LONG time to come and I can't wait to try more products from Herbar. First of all: the cream. It is the most interesting texture...it's soft and thick while also being light. Not gooey. Glides on soooo smoothly. I have always had acne-prone skin, but skin that also gets dehydrated easily. Plus, most acne products are very drying. This has made my skin feel soft and supple and it hasn't felt dry in weeks! I also think my skin is getting a bit better with less breakouts?? If it's extra dry out (I live in Alberta where it's basically always dry) I pop some oil on top or mix it in with the cream. For the shipping: this is certainly not at any fault to Herbar, but the shipment took just shy of a month to get to western Canada. Just a heads up if someone is hoping to receive it sooner than later. Worth the wait though! Obviously the price is also high once you convert it to CAD, but a little goes such a long way with this tube that I'm fairly sure it'll last me months. And now I know to order in advance long before I run out. If you're questioning it, I highly recommend!

I absolutely love this product! I’m already on my third tube, and it has become my go-to moisturizer. I have really sensitive skin, so I was hesitant to try something new, but this exceeded my expectations. It’s rich and hydrating without feeling greasy, leaving my skin soft and nourished throughout the day. I don't know how to describe the texture, but its like a cloud and whipped butter had a baby
