147 Barrier Cream Intensive Soothing Cream

💧 Deep Hydration and Barrier Support with the 147 Formula

Dr.Althea 147 Barrier Cream is a rich yet comfortable moisturising cream for dry, dehydrated, sensitive-feeling or weakened skin barrier. The 147 concept is based on 1 barrier-supporting, 4 nourishing ingredients and 7 types of hyaluronic acid to replenish the skin with moisture and help reduce tight, rough sensations.

✨ What does it do?

• Provides long-lasting, deep hydration.
• Supports the weakened skin barrier and skin resilience.
• Helps relieve tight, rough, flaky sensations caused by dryness.
• Gives a rich but non-greasy finish.
• Can be used with stronger actives, such as retinoids, in a sandwich method.

🧬 Key Ingredients

Ceramide NP

A barrier-supporting ingredient similar to the skin’s natural lipids that helps reduce moisture loss.

7 types of hyaluronic acid

A hydrating complex made of various forms of hyaluronic acid that supports water retention on multiple levels and a plumper skin feel.

Ectoin

A stress-protective and hydrating ingredient well suited for caring for barrier-stressed, sensitive-feeling skin.

Squalane and beta-glucan

Skin-softening, hydrating and comfort-supporting ingredients that help replenish lipids and moisture in dry skin.

🎯 Who is it for?

For dry, dehydrated, tight, flaky, sensitive-feeling or skin burdened by active ingredients. Especially good for cold weather and evening routines.

💗 Why do we love it?

Because it combines deep hydration with genuine barrier support, and Dr.Althea specifically recommends it as a protective, cushioning moisturiser alongside strong actives.

❓ Q&A

How do I use it?

Apply an appropriate amount to the face as the last step of your routine, then gently press into the skin.

What is the sandwich method?

Apply a thin layer of 147 Barrier Cream before retinoids or other potentially irritating actives, then seal the routine with another cream layer after the active.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

The brand has tested it on sensitive skin and positions it as a fragrance-free formula.

Is it more of a day or night cream?

It can be both, but its richer texture makes it especially pleasant for night use, cold weather or very dry skin.
