Feeling like your skin is constantly irritated, tight, or reactive, especially in the Mauritian humidity? This lightweight cream is designed to rebuild and strengthen your skin's protective barrier without feeling heavy or greasy.

• Texture: A soft, light cream that absorbs quickly without a sticky residue.
• Key Benefit: Reinforces the skin's natural defense system using MLE® Skin Barrier Formula to prevent moisture loss and calm irritation.
• Best For: Oily, Combination, Normal, and Sensitive skin types needing barrier support and hydration without the weight of a thick cream.

1. Cleanser — Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
2. THIS PRODUCT (Real Barrier Extreme Cream Light) — Apply a pea-sized amount to your face and neck.
3. Sunscreen (AM) / - (PM) — In the morning, always finish with sunscreen to protect your healing barrier. At night, this cream is your final step.

Note: Already own a moisturiser? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).

Minimalist (3 steps):

1. Cleanser: Start with a clean base.
2. THIS PRODUCT: Apply a pea-sized amount to hydrate and protect.
3. Sunscreen SPF 30+: The most crucial step to protect your skin barrier from UV damage.

Optional: If you use a targeted serum (like Vitamin C or Hyaluronic Acid), apply it before this cream. Wait 30-60 seconds for the serum to absorb.

Minimalist (3 steps):

1. Cleanser: Double-cleanse if you wore makeup or water-resistant sunscreen (oil cleanser, then water-based cleanser).
2. Targeted Serum (Optional): Apply any treatment serums (e.g., niacinamide, gentle exfoliants) on clean, dry skin.
3. THIS PRODUCT: Apply a pea-sized amount as your final step to lock in moisture and support overnight repair.

Texture rule: Always apply products from the thinnest to the thickest consistency.

Daily Use — AM/PM:

• Amount: A pea-sized amount is sufficient for the entire face. Add a little more for the neck.
• Apply to: Face and neck. Avoid direct contact with eyes.
• Method: Gently smooth over the skin and pat lightly to aid absorption.
• Wait times: Allow 1-2 minutes for it to absorb before applying sunscreen or makeup to prevent pilling.
• Frequency: Use morning and evening for best results.

If-This / Then-That:

• Very oily T-zone? Use a thinner layer in the morning. This cream may provide enough hydration to be used without a separate moisturiser under your sunscreen.
• Feeling dry from AC? Layer it over a hydrating toner or serum at night to boost moisture.
• Sensitive/reactive? This formula is designed for you, but always patch test new products.
• Under makeup? Its lightweight texture makes it a good base. Wait for it to fully absorb to ensure a smooth, pill-free application.

Watchouts: Pilling can occur if too much product is used or if you don't wait long enough before applying the next layer. "No results" often means inconsistent use or skipping daily sunscreen, which undermines barrier repair.

Safety: Avoid applying to broken or irritated skin. Stop use if a rash or burning occurs. For teens, this is a great option for a simple, supportive moisturiser to use with cleanser and SPF.

• Daily: This cream should be used daily, both AM and PM, as your primary moisturiser.
• With Actives: If you use exfoliants (AHA/BHA) or retinoids, this cream is an excellent "buffer." Apply it after your active has absorbed to soothe the skin and support your barrier. For example:
  • Mon (Exfoliant Night): Cleanser → AHA/BHA Toner → Wait 5-10 min → This Cream
  • Tue (Soothing Night): Cleanser → Hydrating Toner → This Cream
  • Wed (Retinoid Night): Cleanser → Retinoid Serum → Wait 10-20 min → This Cream

Mauritius note: During the most humid summer months, oily skin types might find this sufficient as a night cream only, opting for just sunscreen in the AM.

• Immediate: Skin feels soothed, comfortable, and less tight. The lightweight texture provides instant hydration without a greasy feel.
• 2–4 weeks: With consistent use, you may notice a reduction in redness and sensitivity. Your skin's moisture barrier begins to strengthen, making it less reactive to environmental triggers.
• 4–8+ weeks: Skin appears healthier, more balanced, and resilient. Dehydration-related fine lines are less visible, and the overall texture feels smoother and more supple.

• Why this, not that?
  • Myth: "My skin is oily and it's humid, so I don't need a moisturiser."
  • Truth: Oily skin can still be dehydrated (lacking water), causing it to produce even more oil to compensate. The REAL BARRIER EXTREME CREAM LIGHT provides essential hydration in a lightweight formula that supports a healthy barrier, helping to balance oil production over time without clogging pores.

• Works Well With:
  • Niacinamide, Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid: Can be applied after these serums to lock in their benefits and provide barrier support.
  • Sunscreens: Layers well under most sunscreens once fully absorbed.
• Use Carefully With:
  • Retinoids (Retinol, Retinal) & Strong Acids (AHA/BHA): This cream is an excellent companion to potentially irritating actives. Use it after your active serum has fully absorbed to soothe skin and minimise dryness and peeling. Avoid applying them in the same step; always allow wait times.
• Avoid On: Do not apply to open wounds or severely broken skin.

• Excellent For:
  • Sensitive Skin: Specifically formulated to calm and repair a compromised barrier.
  • Combination Skin: Provides balanced hydration without making the T-zone greasy.
  • Oily Skin: A great option for a non-heavy moisturiser, especially at night or during drier periods.
  • Normal Skin: A perfect daily moisturiser for maintaining a healthy skin barrier.
• Use with Caution:
  • Very Dry Skin: This "Light" version may not be occlusive enough. You might prefer the original REAL BARRIER Extreme Cream for richer, more intensive moisture.

• Compromised or Weakened Skin Barrier
• Dehydration and Tightness
• Redness and Irritation
• Skin Sensitivity
• Flakiness or Rough Texture

• Madecassoside: A purified compound from Centella Asiatica, it is excellent for soothing irritated skin, reducing redness, and promoting healing.

• Declared EU Allergens: Contains components of essential oils that are declarable allergens in the EU: Limonene, Linalool (naturally occurring in the listed oils).

For those with extreme sensitivity or known allergies to essential oils, a patch test is strongly recommended.

Who should use this: Ideal for individuals with combination, oily, or sensitive skin who experience redness, irritation, and a feeling of tightness, indicating a compromised skin barrier.

Who should use with caution: While formulated for sensitive skin, those with known allergies to specific essential oils (lavender, orange) should exercise caution.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: The formula does not contain ingredients widely considered unsafe during pregnancy or breastfeeding (like retinoids or high-dose salicylic acid). However, it is always best to consult with your doctor before introducing new skincare products during this time.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount of the cream to a clean, small area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner jawline.
2. Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of irritation like redness, itching, or burning.
3. If no reaction occurs, re-check the area at 48 and 72 hours to ensure there is no delayed reaction.
4. If irritation develops, discontinue use.

• Texture: A lightweight, soft cream with a silky consistency. It is not a heavy balm or a watery gel.
• Finish: Absorbs quickly, leaving a comfortable, satin finish that is not greasy or sticky.
• Scent: Faint, natural herbal and citrus scent from essential oils.
• pH: The formula is mildly acidic to be compatible with the skin's natural pH, likely around 5.5.
• Comedogenicity: Non-comedogenic test completed (brand-stated). However, individual responses can vary.

• Issue: Product is pilling or balling up.
  • Fix: You may be using too much product or not allowing previous layers (like serums) to fully absorb. Use a smaller, pea-sized amount and wait at least 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen or makeup.
• Issue: My skin still feels a bit dry.
  • Fix: This is the "Light" version. For added hydration, apply it over a damp face or layer it on top of a watery hydrating toner or hyaluronic acid serum. For very dry skin, consider the original REAL BARRIER Extreme Cream.
• Issue: I'm experiencing mild irritation.
  • Fix: While rare for this formula, irritation can occur from essential oils or if you are combining it with too many strong active ingredients at once. Simplify your routine to just a gentle cleanser, this cream, and sunscreen for a few days to let your barrier calm down.

• Humid Summer: The lightweight texture makes it an excellent choice for Mauritius's hot and humid summers. It provides necessary barrier support and hydration without feeling suffocating or contributing to excess shine. Oily skin types may find it perfect as a night cream.
• Drier Winter / Air-Conditioning: During the slightly cooler, drier winter months, or if you spend significant time in air-conditioned environments, you may want to layer this cream over a hydrating essence or serum to ensure your skin stays adequately moisturised.

At Adilsons, we guarantee 100% authenticity. All our products, including the REAL BARRIER EXTREME CREAM LIGHT, are sourced directly from the brand or their authorized distributors in South Korea.

• Ingredient Rationale: The formula is built around the brand's patented MLE® (Multi-Lamellar Emulsion) technology. This technology uses a pseudo-ceramide, Myristoyl/Palmitoyl Oxostearamide/Arachamide MEA, to create a lipid structure that is identical to the skin's natural lamellar barrier. The scientific principle is that by replenishing the skin with this biomimetic structure, the cream can more effectively repair a compromised barrier, reduce water loss (TEWL), and protect against irritants.
• Brand Test: Real Barrier claims that the cream is clinically tested to provide 72-hour hydration and to improve a physically damaged skin barrier by 58%. These tests are conducted by or for the brand. No public dataset or peer-reviewed study is available for independent verification.

Anecdote/Aggregated sentiment from online communities. Individual results will vary.

"This product really worked wonders when my skin barrier was completely compromised... It's a cream that's light enough to use even in summer, yet it provides definite hydration and comfort."

"I have acne prone skin and it didn't clog my pores! It doesn't dry down matte, but leaves a nice, non-greasy finish and works well under makeup as long as you wait for it to absorb."

Fair Caveat: "The scent is a bit strong, but I don't mind it... If you're not into strongly scented creams, you might struggle. But the product is so good that I'll just hold my nose and use it anyway."

Real Barrier was developed by the Korean derma-cosmetic company ATOPALM in 2015. The brand's core philosophy is centered on repairing and protecting the skin's natural barrier. Their scientifically-driven approach is built on the patented MLE® (Multi-Lamellar Emulsion) Technology, which mimics the structure of healthy skin lipids to provide effective, long-lasting moisture and relief for dry, sensitive, and compromised skin.

Is this cream suitable for the humid Mauritian climate?

Yes, the "Light" version is specifically designed with a lightweight texture that absorbs quickly, making it ideal for hot and humid conditions where a heavy cream would feel uncomfortable.

What's the difference between this and the original Real Barrier Extreme Cream?

The Extreme Cream Light has a lighter, more lotion-like consistency suitable for combination and oily skin types. The original Extreme Cream is a richer, thicker balm-like cream designed for very dry and parched skin.

Can I use this if I have acne?

Yes, many users with acne-prone skin find it beneficial because it helps to repair the skin barrier, which can be compromised by harsh acne treatments. It is also non-comedogenic (brand-stated), meaning it's formulated not to clog pores.

Does this contain any alcohol?

This cream is free from drying alcohols like ethanol or alcohol denat. It does contain Cetearyl Alcohol, which is a gentle, fatty alcohol that acts as an emollient and is non-irritating.

Best For: Individuals with sensitive, combination, or oily skin looking for a daily moisturiser to repair a damaged barrier, reduce redness, and hydrate without a heavy or greasy feel.
