The skin barrier plays an important role in helping retain moisture and protect the skin from external stressors. When it becomes compromised, skin may feel dry, tight, sensitive or uncomfortable.

Explore Vault Beauty’s edit of barrier-supporting skincare, including gentle cleansers, hydrating serums, nourishing moisturisers and restorative treatments. These formulas are selected to help replenish moisture and support the skin’s natural protective function.

Ingredients such as ceramides, fatty acids, squalane, panthenol and soothing botanical extracts may feature in barrier-focused routines. If your skin feels overwhelmed, simplifying your routine and prioritising gentle, supportive formulas can also be a useful place to start.
