Your skin barrier is your body's first line of defence against environmental stressors, locking in moisture and keeping irritants out. When it becomes compromised, you may experience dryness, sensitivity and visible redness. The Ultra Facial Advanced Repair Barrier Cream is an intensive barrier repair cream with Colloidal Oatmeal that provides instant repair and relief for dry and very dry skin.
When your skin's moisture barrier is compromised, it can lead to dryness, sensitivity and discomfort.

Sometimes your skin needs more than just a daily moisturiser. Situations like sun damage, stress, over exposure to extreme weather conditions, overuse of active ingredients and skin sensitivity can compromise your skin barrier. This can typically lead to increased dryness, discomfort and heightened skin reactivity. Our Ultra Facial Advanced Repair Barrier Cream with Colloidal Oatmeal and Beta-Glucan works as a more intensive treatment to fortify the barrier, instantly soothe and reduce visible redness for relieved, healthy-looking skin.

FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
What Is a Barrier Repair Cream Used For?
A barrier repair cream is typically used to help restore and strengthen your skin's moisture barrier — the protective layer that locks in hydration and shields against environmental irritants. The Ultra Facial Advanced Repair Barrier Cream is specifically formulated with Colloidal Oatmeal and Beta-Glucan to instantly relieve dryness, reduce visible redness and support skin barrier recovery up to 10 surface skin layers deep.
How Do You Use Kiehl's Ultra Facial Advanced Repair Barrier Cream?
Apply a small amount to cleansed and toned skin, gently smoothing it over your face and neck. You can use it day and night as your primary moisturiser, or layer it on top of your Ultra Facial Cream for extra barrier repair when your skin needs more intensive care.
Is the Ultra Facial Advanced Repair Barrier Cream Suitable for Sensitive Skin?
Yes (great news for sensitive skin!), this barrier cream was clinically tested on sensitive skin types, including dry to extra dry skin. Formulated with soothing Colloidal Oatmeal and skin-repairing Beta-Glucan, it's designed to relieve irritation and discomfort without overwhelming reactive skin.
What Is the Difference Between a Barrier Cream and a Daily Moisturiser?
A barrier cream provides more intensive repair than a standard daily moisturiser. While a moisturiser primarily hydrates, a barrier repair cream like the Ultra Facial Advanced Repair Barrier Cream goes further by actively helping to restore your skin's lipid barrier — making it particularly well-suited for periods of heightened dryness, sensitivity or skin stress.
Can I Use the Ultra Facial Advanced Repair Barrier Cream with Other Kiehl's Products?
Yes, typically this barrier cream works beautifully within the wider Ultra Facial Collection. After cleansing with the Ultra Facial Cleanser, apply the barrier cream on its own or layer it over the Ultra Facial Cream for an extra boost of barrier support. It can also be paired with serums from your existing routine.
When Should I Use a Barrier Repair Cream Instead of My Regular Moisturiser?
We recommend reaching for a barrier repair cream when your skin feels compromised — for example, after sun exposure, during extreme weather, following overuse of active ingredients like retinol or acids, or during periods of stress. The Ultra Facial Advanced Repair Barrier Cream with Advanced Barrier Technology is designed for exactly these moments, providing instant relief and long-term barrier recovery.
