Face Reality Barrier Care Gel Cream

Face Reality’s Barrier Care Gel Cream is an acne-safe moisturizer specifically formulated for dry, sensitive, and barrier-compromised skin in need of repair and resilience. Powered by the innovative Multi-Restore Complex™, this formula mimics the skin’s natural barrier using ceramides, squalane, phytosterols, and essential fatty acids—delivered in skin-identical ratios your barrier recognizes and knows how to use.

This advanced barrier-support formula helps calm irritation, replenish hydration, and improve the skin’s ability to tolerate active treatments. The result is a more resilient, balanced complexion that retains moisture more effectively and recovers faster from stress, treatments, or over-exfoliation. It absorbs easily into the skin, leaving a comfortable, lightly dewy finish without feeling heavy or greasy—making it ideal for daily use under sunscreen or makeup.

Perfect for compromised, sensitized, or acne-prone skin, Barrier Care Gel Cream supports long-term skin health while keeping pores clear.

Why you’ll love it:

  • Mimics the skin’s natural barrier for optimal repair and recovery
  • Strengthens and protects against environmental stressors
  • Deeply hydrates while helping prevent moisture loss
  • Soothes irritation and supports clearer, healthier skin
  • Acne-safe and suitable for sensitive skin types

    Good, could be better

    I’m not exactly sure why my skin doesn’t respond well to some of the FR products, but this one just hasn’t been as good as I thought it would be. Maybe it hasn’t been long enough, but I do feel like the cran moisture works better for me.

    This stuff is amazing

    I started using this cream at the advice of my esthetician, as the colder weather months were starting to dry out my skin, to point it was getting a bit flaky. I was still doing my same skincare routine and products, ending with Face Reality Cran Peptide cream (which I love and it's usually enough light moisture for me). However, I think my roseacea prone skin was just angry with the drastic weather changes this year, and this gel cream is the exact thing my parched skin needed! Absorbs right in (although takes a few minutes to not feel a tiny bit tacky) and leaves your skin looking and feeling very hydrated. Not long after I purchased my first one, I went ahead and purchased another, as I knew this would be a Winter skincare routine regular! I use this morning and evening, and my skin no longer gets flaky and feels fully moisturized. So glad I gave this a try!
