GlyMed Plus Barrier Repair Cream is a deeply nourishing moisturizer built to restore and protect skin that has lost its natural defenses. Formulated with a trio of ceramides (ceramide 1, ceramide 3, and ceramide 6), phytosphingosine, and cholesterol, it mirrors the lipid structure your skin needs to hold moisture in and keep irritants out. Whether your barrier has been weakened by seasonal shifts, menopause, over-exfoliation, or professional treatments, this cream delivers the building blocks your skin is missing, with a subtle, natural rose scent from Bulgarian rosa damascena oil.

Key Benefits

Rebuilds a weakened skin barrier Three ceramides, phytosphingosine, and cholesterol work together to replicate your skin's natural lipid matrix, reinforcing structure so your barrier can function the way it should.

Calms irritation and visible redness Echinacea extract and spirulina algae extract provide anti-inflammatory support that helps soothe itching, stinging, and reactive skin.

Delivers lasting hydration without heaviness Glycerin, shea butter, squalene, and sunflower oil supply both humectant and emollient moisture, keeping skin comfortable throughout the day without a greasy finish.

Supports post-procedure recovery Horsetail extract is rich in silica, which promotes tissue repair and helps skin bounce back faster after peels, microneedling, or laser treatments.

Protects with antioxidant-rich botanicals Olive leaf extract, grape seed oil, and tocopherol (vitamin E) help neutralize environmental stressors that can slow healing and further compromise fragile skin.

If your skin feels tight, flaky, or easily irritated, this cream was made for you. It is especially well suited for dry, thin, or mature skin that struggles to retain moisture, including skin affected by hormonal changes during menopause.

It is also an excellent choice if your barrier has been compromised by professional treatments like chemical peels or microneedling, harsh weather, or overuse of active ingredients. Anyone looking to rebuild skin strength and reduce sensitivity will benefit from this ceramide-rich formula.

If you have been using strong actives like retinol or exfoliating acids and notice your skin becoming tight or reactive, pause those actives and use this cream morning and night for one to two weeks to let your barrier recover before gradually reintroducing them.

Apply: After cleansing and toning, smooth a generous layer over the face, neck, and chest.

Frequency: Use every morning and evening as your final moisturizing step.

Follow up: In the morning, always layer your preferred SPF on top to protect healing or compromised skin from UV damage.
