As someone who tests skincare products for a living, I’m always looking for ways to support my skin barrier and keep irritation at bay. So when I heard that Skinfix had launched a new barrier cream, I knew I had to give it a try.
Now, I’m not one to introduce new products into my routine on a whim—my skin is extremely sensitive—but I’ve had great success with the brand’s Foaming Oil Cleanser in the past. Since my complexion tends to run dry, I figured this moisturizer could be the perfect addition to my lineup. Spoiler alert: I’ve already added another jar to my cart.
Skinfix’s Barrier+ Ceramide Prime Whipped Cream is the brand’s newest barrier-supporting moisturizer, formulated to smooth texture, soften fine lines, and deliver deep hydration without leaving behind a greasy residue. The vegan and cruelty-free formula is packed with skin-supporting ingredients, including a 1 percent ceramide complex, 2 percent niacinamide, a 6 percent humectant blend, and a 1 percent heptapeptide solution.
Together, these ingredients help minimize the appearance of pores, promote a more even-looking skin tone, and support overall barrier health. Beta-glucan and glycerin in the humectant blend help keep skin soft and hydrated while protecting it from environmental stressors, while prebiotic peptides work to strengthen the skin barrier and lock in moisture.
The brand claims users may notice more hydrated skin within 72 hours. In my experience, I saw a difference much sooner. After just one day, my skin felt noticeably softer and looked less dry immediately after application.
Aside from its lightweight feel, I also loved how well it worked under sunscreen and makeup. In fact, my foundation seemed to sit better on top of it—even in the warm Florida weather—without sliding around throughout the day.
After just over a week of using the cream consistently, my skin looks noticeably healthier and more hydrated. The usual dryness and flakiness I tend to experience—especially when spending time outdoors—has been significantly reduced.
The Barrier+ Ceramide Prime Whipped Cream is currently available on Skinfix’s website for $54. It will also launch on Sephora and Amazon on March 10, and you’ll be able to find it in Sephora and Kohl’s stores beginning March 20.
