FAQ

  • Is this safe to use if I'm prone to fungal acne (AKA malassezia folliculitis)?

    Skin Barrier Restoring Gel Cream is not considered fungal acne-safe due to its lipid-rich ingredients, which may potentially feed Malassezia yeast (the fungus associated with fungal acne). That said, fungal acne triggers can vary from person to person. You can absolutely patch test it to see how your skin responds—and if you’re prone to fungal acne or looking for a lighter option, our Barrier Balancing Water Cream may be a better fit.

  • Can I layer this with actives?

    Skin Barrier Restoring Gel Cream was formulated with hydrating, barrier-supporting ingredients, so it layers well with most actives—including retinoids, vitamin C, AHAs, and BHAs. Its soothing formula can actually help buffer potential irritation, making it a great companion product in your routine. As always, if you’re trying a new combination for the first time, we recommend patch testing or introducing products gradually to see how your skin responds.

  • Is this safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

    Skin Barrier Restoring Gel Cream has been reviewed and tested for safety on a panel of people who aren’t pregnant or breastfeeding. It does not include any ingredients known to be unsafe while pregnant or breastfeeding, but as with any new product, we recommend checking with your healthcare provider if you're concerned.
