Dr Althea 147 Barrier Cream

If your skin feels tight, itchy, or "angry" after using too many actives, the Dr. Althea 147 Barrier Cream is the ultimate soothing hug in a jar. Designed to act like a second skin, this intensive recovery cream is a cult favorite for repairing a damaged moisture barrier and locking in hydration.

Here is the simple, essential guide to this "S.O.S." skincare hero.

Product Overview

The Dr. Althea 147 Barrier Cream is a thick, nutrient-dense moisturizer specifically formulated for dry, sensitive, and compromised skin. While its sister (the 345 Relief Cream) is a light gel for acne, the 147 is a rich, comforting cream that focuses on deep nutrition and long-term skin health.

Ingredients

Barrier Reinforcement: Repairs the protective layer of your skin to stop "Trans-Epidermal Water Loss" (TEWL).
Deep Nutrition: Provides an immediate boost of moisture to flaky or parched areas.
Instant Comfort: Calms "stinging" or "burning" sensations caused by over-exfoliation or harsh weather.
Long-Lasting Hydration: Creates a protective shield that keeps skin plump for up to 24 hours.

How To Use

Cleanse & Treat: Apply your toner and serums as usual.
Apply: Take a pea-sized amount (a little goes a long way!) and warm it between your fingertips.
Press: Gently press the cream into your face and neck. The warmth of your hands helps the rich formula melt into the skin.
Targeted Care: Feel free to apply a slightly thicker layer to extra-dry patches or areas prone to redness.
Best Time: While it can be used in the morning for very dry skin, it is the perfect night cream to repair your skin while you sleep.
