What it is?
This lightweight cream with Ceramides and Niacinamide restores skin’s moisture barrier, provides intense hydration and improves the look of compromised skin. We’re all about breaking barriers, but never your skin’s! Even Tone Barrier Repair Ceramide Cream is a multitasking hydrator that’s just what you need to keep your barrier game strong! So, first you may ask, what is a moisture barrier and why is it important? Glad you asked! Basically, your skin’s natural moisture barrier is the protective outer layer of skin that creates a barrier to keep good stuff like moisture in and bad stuff like pollutants out. When your moisture barrier is compromised, your skin may be more vulnerable to discoloration, environmental damage and the signs of aging. That’s why a barrier repair cream is an essential part of a balanced skincare routine, especially if you use exfoliating ingredients, to ensure your skin isn't being depleted. And that’s why you need this cream in your regimen!

Highlighted Ingredients
NIACINAMIDE
- A form of Vitamin B3. Helps boost hydration and visibly improve fine lines and wrinkles, discoloration, texture and redness.

CERAMIDES

What else you need to know
- This super hydrating formula is powered with three types of Ceramides. Part of the skin’s natural moisture barrier, Ceramides help prevent moisture loss and also play an important role in protecting skin from environmental stressors and reducing the visible signs of aging. Think of Ceramides like the “mortar” that keeps the “bricks” (your moisture barrier) sealed and in place. Melanin-rich skin tends to have lower levels of Ceramides, making it prone to dryness, so this cream is great for all skin tones and even sensitive skin types.
- Even Tone Barrier Repair Ceramide Cream also features 3% Niacinamide and Squalane to quench thirsty skin without clogging pores and Papaya Extract Enzymes to visibly improve texture and uneven skin tone.
- Let’s restore your barrier! Begin with clean skin. We recommend first using our new Even Tone Gentle Gel Cleanser and then applying your favorite toner and treatment serums. Follow by smoothing 1-2 pumps of Even Tone Barrier Repair Ceramide Cream onto your face and neck area in an upward motion to keep your skin tight and firm! You can use it once or twice a day. If using in the morning, be sure to follow with a sunscreen for daily protection.
Glow Tip: This cream is great to use with Retinol or acne products to help ease dryness and irritation.
Who Should Use
- If you have uneven skin tone or rough texture and are looking to restore your moisture barrier for a more radiant complexion, this cream is your new go-to! Good for all skin types, even sensitive skin.
How It Looks/Smells/Feels

What are Ceramides?
- A part of the skin’s natural barrier, Ceramides help prevent the skin from losing moisture and play an important role in protecting skin from environmental stressors and reducing the visible signs of aging.
Is this a fading treatment for dark marks?
- As part of the Even Tone family, Even Tone Barrier Repair Ceramide Cream includes ingredients that target dark marks but it is not a fading treatment. Formulated to rebuild your barrier, it helps protect your skin so it is not as vulnerable to new discoloration. If you are struggling with dark marks we recommend including this cream as a part of a full regimen for discoloration that also includes our Retinol Rapid Repair & Dark Spot Treatment or Advanced Even Tone Day & Night Treatment.
Do I need to use a moisturizer in addition to this?
- Even Tone Barrier Repair Ceramide Cream is highly moisturizing so you shouldn’t have to apply an additional moisturizer. However, this formula doesn't include a sunblock so you should always apply one during the daytime. We recommend our Complexion Protection Moisturizer SPF 30.
I have oily skin, can I still use this product?
- Yes, Even Tone Barrier Repair Ceramide Cream is great for all skin types.
Are your products tested on animals?
- No. We take pride in being a cruelty-free company!
If I took your Skin Quiz and this product wasn't suggested, does that mean that I shouldn’t use it?
- While our product recommendations are carefully selected for the needs of a specific type of skin to give the best results, many people will modify their routine with other products as needed. If you feel this product could be right for you, we encourage you to try it!
