Barrier Repair Moisturizer

Zerafite Barrier Repair Moisturizer is a favorite face cream of dermatologists to treat dry skin on the face. This bestselling face cream gives skin the ability to resist dehydration, even in the most arid climates. It is named after the Xerophyte species of plants (cacti) that have adapted to live in dry environments. Human skin cells are surrounded by a multi-lamellar structure composed of ceramides, fatty acids and cholesterol in a requisite 1:1:1 ratio. Disruption of this "skin barrier" leads to dehydration and susceptibility to irritation.

Myristoyl/palmitoyl Oxostearamide/arachamide MEA  is a ceramide in Zerafite that combines with cholesterol and stearic acid to imitate the skin barrier's sophisticated lamellar structure. This helps prevent water from evaporating off the skin, shields the skin from irritants, and helps dry skin tolerate acne medications and retinoids.

Portulaca oleracea (purslane) extract is a soothing botanical antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties that may help calm skin irritated by acne medications and environmental stressors. It helps protect against free radical damage while reducing the discomfort associated with dry, sensitive, and eczema-prone skin.

Zerafite  now has 2 new formulas. Check out Zerafite Skin Brightening Barrier Cream if you are treating dark spots with skin lighteners. If you want an tiaging ingredietns, try the Zerafite Wrinkle Defense Barrier Cream.
