RESIST Barrier Repair Advanced Moisturizer with Ceramides

Moisturizer · 30 ingredients

A rich moisturizer formulated to restore and strengthen the skin barrier, making it well suited for dry skin and those experiencing loss of firmness. Skin-identical ceramides work to replenish the barrier and reduce moisture loss, while tripeptide-5 supports natural collagen levels to help skin appear firmer and minimize the look of wrinkles. Watermelon seed oil complements these actives by supporting ceramide formation within the epidermal layer.
