The BARRIER Bioactive Treatment Face Mask with PDRN

Mask · 30 ingredients

A bioactive face mask designed to strengthen the skin barrier while visibly improving firmness, hydration, and texture. Urea works as a keratolytic to hydrate and gently exfoliate, while a blend of five fruit hydroxy acids smooths away dead, flaky surface skin for a softer, more even complexion. PDRN (Sodium DNA), a bioactive compound derived from salmon, supports visible skin renewal and buoyancy. Best suited for dry, combination, and normal skin types dealing with dryness, redness, loss of firmness, or a compromised barrier.
