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.

Reviews

I really love this lightweight

"I really love this lightweight moisturizer. I have sensitive skin and this has no irritants to affect my skin. My skin feels softer and more hydrated than my previous moisturizer. A little goes a long way!"

— Susan J. (5/5)

I’ve been using SkinFix for

"I’ve been using SkinFix for about 3 months and have noticed my skin getting softer and more supple. I suffer from dermatitis due to SLE and am prone to hives. SkinFix has helped with the redness and inflammation. I use it on top of my daily skin medication without any issue and love the way my skin has been healing!"

— Michelle K. (5/5)

Holy grail for combination skin!

"Finding a moisturizer that actually repairs your skin barrier without making combination skin greasy is nearly impossible—until this. This gel cream is the perfect balance! It completely restored my moisture barrier, leaving my skin feeling deeply hydrated, plump, and healthy, all while keeping my oily areas completely in check. Absolutely love it"

— Sophie (5/5)

— jessica r. (5/5)

Lightweight healing

"Light but nourishing"

— Buzzn Y. (5/5)

I usually use the Triple

"I usually use the Triple Peptide cream but wanted to change my day cream to the gel for the summer time. I enjoy the consistency of the gel cream as it is much lighter while still delivering hydration. It is a bit sticky upon application and takes up to an hour to no longer feel sticky on my skin."

— Tenzin L. (4/5)

Only moisturizer that doesn’t break

"Only moisturizer that doesn’t break me out or leave me looking shiny"

— Kijhyana S. (5/5)

I love this moisturizer. It’s

"I love this moisturizer. It’s not greasy and absorbs quickly. Great for under MAKEUP."

— Suzanne H. (5/5)

I have sensitive skin, and

"I have sensitive skin, and this product helped reduce dryness and irritation while supporting my skin barrier. A little goes a long way, so the jar lasts longer than expected. It layers beautifully with the rest of my skincare routine and leaves my skin feeling soft and comfortable all day. I would definitely purchase it again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a gentle yet effective"

— Anastasiya S. (5/5)

I am combination sensitive skin

"I am combination sensitive skin so finding a cream that doesn't make my face oily on certain spots while hydrating has always been a challenge. Also once I've discovered the gel creme texture, it's hard to go back to just a cream. The Skin Barrier Restoring Gel Cream crosses off all my requirements and I love it!"

— Suzanne L. (5/5)

Q&A

When will refills be available? I’m almost out and would prefer not to have to purchase a full new one
Hi Ally, Thank you for reaching out. At this time there is no date of availability for the refills. You can sign up for a "subscribe and save 10%" to receive a discount and free shipping on the full sized jar of Restoring Gel Cream. We appreciate your understanding. Please do not hesitate to reach out to info@Skinfix.com if you have any additional questions.
Is this packaging/refills system considered to be an “airless pump”? I would like to make sure the product is protected from oxidation and contamination.
Hi Nancy, Yes! We use airless components in our barrier+ Skin Barrier Restoring Gel Cream and the refills support this. In case you need it, we have a video on how to use here: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/MLZGDGZPDZU We hope this helps!
Does this refill fit in the triple lipid moisturizer container?
Hi Kelly, The barrier+ Triple Lipid Peptide Cream refill 1.7 oz will fit the 1.7oz empty container for our TLPC only- we currently do not have a refill for the 3.3oz jar at this time. In case you need it, we have a little video of a “how-to” on the refill: https://vimeo.com/790452897
How long is the refill supposed to last?
Hi Jen, Thanks for reaching out- it truly is hard to gauge this timeline, as everyone uses different pressure when dispensing or uses different amounts (ex 1 or 2 pumps 1 or 2 times a day). The refill is the advertised 50ml/1.7oz amount advertised and is the same size as the full jar. We appreciate your question.
In the Skin Barrier Restoring Gel Cream, I see that there's squalene in the ingredients along with Squalane. Squalene is pore clogging and is generally sourced from shark live. Whereas the Squalane is plant derived and is not pore clogging. I am not sure how the product is being marketed as vegan and noncomedogenic that's good for acne prone skin. Except for the use of squalene I find all the other ingredients to be good. Please try to go away from using squalene.
We use a vegan sourced squalene, that is non comedogenic and not sourced from sharks. The squalene in our barrier+ line is derived from olives and it is from the same source across all barrier+ products. We hope this helps!
Hi, I noticed that both squalane and squalene are listed in the Barrier+ Skin Barrier Restoring Gel Cream. Are both ingredients plant-derived or was it a typographical error?
We use vegan sourced for all of our barrier+ collection for both squalane and squalene in our formulations.
