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

Finally, a moisturizer that plays

"Finally, a moisturizer that plays nice with my skin!! I have combination skin that leans oily in the summer and leans dry in the winter, and is also clog and acne prone. So it is a challenge to find a moisturizer that doesn’t break me out. Gave this a try after the Ceramide Prime cream broke me out (so sad, I loved it so much but sadly it didn’t work for me). This has made a HUGE difference in my skin in a short period of time. Skin feels hydrated without feeling oily and I’ve had zero issues with acne since starting this product. I use it during the day and use the Water Cream moisturizer at night and the combination works well together. Noticed an improvement in my fine lines on my forehead as well. So glad I decided to give this a try, will definitely be purchasing again, but I do wish/hope they bring back the refillable option, and if they decide to do the xl size like the triple lipid and water creams, that would be a huge bonus."

— Courtney A. (5/5)

I use this in the

"I use this in the morning and it has not only changed my skin, but has changed the way my makeup looks. It helps my dehydrated skin, but is not too heavy, which heavy moisturizers cause my makeup to slide around and just wipe off. I was at my wits end when I purchased this moisturizer. It is the perfect balance between moisturizing my skin, but not feeling heavy. My only complaint is when I received my package, this product (along with other products from this company) were in packaging that were very beat up and looked dirty. I understand that the individual product boxes do not reflect the actual product, but it was offputting as it is something that is going to go on my face. Aside from that, I really do love this moisturizer."

— Christina T. (5/5)

I've learned I can't go without it

"I love this moisturizer! I have acne prone skin and it is very dry were I live, so that can make maintaining hydration in my skin difficult. My skin loves this stuff, I wake up in the morning still feeling hydrated, it's calming, and I absolutely love that I can by refills. I've used one or two different moisturizers since first trying this to try to save some $ and learned I just need to stick with the good stuff, it's worth it."

— Anya (5/5)

I’ve been really liking the

"I’ve been really liking the Skinfix Skin Barrier Restoring Gel Cream. It feels light on my skin but still gives me plenty of moisture without being heavy or greasy. My skin feels soft and comfortable after using it, and I really like how soothing it is. Definitely one I’ll keep using!"

I absolutely love this product.

"I absolutely love this product. It is the only moisturizer that does not break out my acne prone skin. I use it with the same face wash and they work magically together."

— Jasleen N. (5/5)

Great product but bring the refills back!

"I LOVE this product- been wearing and using it for years. Have nothing bad to say at all. This does wonders for my skin. I don’t understand why almost for a year now, I can’t get a refill for this particular product. It always says sold out. I hate having to get a whole new container plus it’s an extra 10-12$. Really hope they bring the refills back for this."

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.
