The Dr. Althea Pro Lab 147 Barrier Cream is a thoughtfully formulated daily moisturizer created to support, protect, and restore the skin’s natural barrier when it feels weakened, dehydrated, or out of balance. Rooted in dermatological barrier science, this cream focuses on rebuilding the skin’s lipid structure while delivering steady, long-lasting hydration without overwhelming the skin.
At the heart of the formula is a multi-ceramide complex that mimics the skin’s own protective lipids. Ceramides NP, AP, and EOP work together with cholesterol and phytosphingosine to reinforce the stratum corneum, helping the skin retain moisture more effectively and become more resilient against environmental stressors such as temperature changes, dryness, and daily irritation. This barrier-supporting system is especially beneficial for skin that experiences tightness, sensitivity, or discomfort after cleansing or active treatments.
Hydration is delivered in layers. Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) helps calm stressed skin while supporting moisture retention and improving overall skin comfort. A hyaluronic acid complex attracts and holds water within the skin, giving an immediate plumping and smoothing effect while supporting deeper hydration over time. The result is skin that feels comfortably moisturized, balanced, and less reactive throughout the day.
Despite its nourishing performance, the texture remains creamy yet breathable. It spreads easily, absorbs smoothly, and leaves no sticky or greasy residue, making it suitable for both morning and evening routines. The formula is designed to sit well under sunscreen and makeup during the day, while at night it works as a protective sealing step to support overnight recovery.
With its clean, minimalist formulation, the 147 Barrier Cream is well suited for sensitive skin and for those who prefer gentle, no-nonsense skincare focused on skin health rather than heavy fragrances or unnecessary additives. With consistent use, skin appears calmer, more resilient, and better hydrated, with an improved sense of comfort and balance.
This cream is an excellent choice for anyone looking to strengthen their skin barrier, reduce signs of dehydration, and maintain healthy-looking skin through all seasons — especially during periods of stress, weather changes, or when using active skincare products.
Tsubaki Beauty tip: Incorporate this cream as your final step after serums, or use it generously at night to help the skin recover and recharge while you sleep.
