Dr. Althea 147 Barrier Cream - 50ml

Dr Althea 147 Barrier Cream is a deep-hydrating barrier repair moisturiser with a distinctive light blue colour from chamomile-derived guaiazulene. The "147" stands for 1 barrier-supporting ingredient, 4 types of ceramides, and 7 types of hyaluronic acid, a precision formula engineered to rebuild and strengthen your skin's protective barrier.

Four ceramides (NP, AS, AP, NS) structurally reconstruct damaged barrier lipids, while seven types of hyaluronic acid provide multi-depth hydration from the surface down. Guaiazulene delivers potent soothing calming, panthenol strengthens the moisture barrier, and squalane provides nourishing emollience. Silky texture absorbs without greasy residue. Vegan and cruelty-free.

Pro tip: The 147 Barrier Cream is the richer counterpart to the 345 Relief Cream. Use the 345 in the morning for lightweight oil control and the 147 at night for deep barrier repair, this is the brand's recommended day/night pairing. The 4-ceramide complex mirrors the skin's natural barrier composition, making this ideal for skin damaged by over-exfoliation, retinol, or harsh weather. The 7 types of hyaluronic acid ensure hydration reaches every skin layer.
