147 barrier cream

Dr.Althea 147 Barrier Cream 50ML is a rich daily facial moisturizer designed to repair and support a weakened skin moisture barrier while providing long-lasting hydration. It is formulated for dry, sensitive and barrier-stressed skin experiencing tightness, flaking, roughness or discomfort, and the formula has been sensitive-skin safety tested by the Korea Institute of Dermatological Sciences.

Its rich yet comfortable texture combines ectoin, ceramide NP, squalane, beta-glucan and multiple forms of hyaluronic acid to replenish moisture and help reduce moisture loss without leaving an excessively greasy finish. Dr.Althea particularly recommends it for nighttime use, cold weather and skin made dry by strong skincare treatments.

Dr.Althea 147 Barrier Cream is best suited to a damaged or weakened skin barrier, persistent dryness, dehydration, tightness, flaking, rough texture and sensitivity associated with dryness. Its richer texture can be particularly useful at night, during Lebanon's cooler or drier months, or when air conditioning and active skincare leave skin feeling depleted. The DistriQt recommends it when barrier recovery and moisture retention are the primary concerns

• Ectoin: Helps support the skin against environmental stress while contributing to hydration and barrier protection; it is one of Dr.Althea's highlighted ingredients in the 147 formula.
• Ceramide NP + Squalane: Help reinforce the skin's lipid barrier and reduce moisture loss, supporting dry and depleted skin. Both appear in the official ingredient list.
• Beta-Glucan + Betaine: Humectant and skin-conditioning ingredients that support hydration and comfort in dry, sensitive skin.
• Multiple Forms of Hyaluronic Acid: The formula contains several forms of hyaluronic acid and hyaluronate derivatives to support multi-level skin hydration.

Is Dr.Althea 147 Barrier Cream good for sensitive and dry skin?

Yes. Dr.Althea specifically positions 147 Barrier Cream for dry, sensitive and barrier-stressed skin, and the formula has undergone sensitive-skin safety testing. It is also fragrance-free, removing one potential source of irritation for sensitive skin.

Does Dr.Althea 147 Barrier Cream clog pores?

Dr.Althea describes 147 Barrier Cream as non-comedogenic, meaning it is formulated and tested with pore-clogging concerns in mind. However, its texture is richer than the brand's 345 Relief Cream, so very oily skin may prefer 345 when lighter hydration is sufficient.

What's the difference between Dr.Althea 147 Barrier Cream and 345 Relief Cream?

Dr.Althea recommends 345 Relief Cream for lightweight hydration and post-breakout comfort, while 147 Barrier Cream provides richer moisture for dry, tight, flaky or barrier-stressed skin. The brand specifically positions 345 for lighter daytime care and 147 for richer nighttime barrier support.

Can I use Dr.Althea 147 Barrier Cream with retinol?

Yes. Dr.Althea specifically recommends 147 Barrier Cream with potentially irritating actives such as retinoids. For sensitive or dry skin, the brand suggests applying cream before the active treatment and another layer afterward to help cushion the skin and seal in moisture.
