Real Barrier Essence Mist (100ml)

This is a light spray that aids in hydrating the skin. I definitely reccomend this for those with impaired skin barriers. How I use it is I use a soap free cleanser, or double cleanse with a balm (to remove sunscreen, excessive sweat from working out) then I spray this on a *damp* face. This is because hylarounic acid (which this product contains) is a humectant that holds moisture in the skin aka water. I then seal this with a moisturiser to prevent trans epidermal water loss. As if you don't seal this in, when the products dries it will draw moisture from your skin, as hylarounic acid tends to do this when it's not "sealed" it will just end drawing moisture from the deeper layers of your skin, drying it out further. This also contains panthenol which helps retain moisture and helps with skin healing and smoothing the skin. As I have just come off a very heavy prescription cream that has really damaged my skin, but this product helped tremendously, I hope that this review helps anyone deciding to buy this. I definitely think that's it worth a shot paired with a good moisturiser.

I suffered damaged skin from eczema and strong sun and nothing could help. My chemist friend recommended Real Barrier explaining that this evidence-based skin care brand is the best to build skin barrier. I have been using many Real Barrier products for a year and they have gradually given my skin a new life. I love everything from Real Barrier but this mist is my favorite. It is very handy, easy to use at any time of the day, in every climate. The price is also good, with a bottle of 100 ml that lasts very long. Thanks Skinsider for having this thing in stock!

I was never drawn to Real Barrier products until I went too far with retinol and acids and my skin barrier was so damaged that my whole face was dry and sore and everything I tried stung my face. I tried a sample of this mist and felt immediate relief and no stinging whatsoever. I never looked back, this will always be part of my routine. I even carry a small sample bottle in my bag for an occasional spritz during the day. Love it!
