This is not just another barrier serum. Combining the power of leading barrier science with advanced hydration, NEW Ectoin Hydro-Barrier Serum is your daily non-negotiable for the ultimate healthy-looking skin. Clinically proven to deeply hydrate and strengthen the skin’s barrier in 15 minutes, get ready for visibly bouncier and smoother skin in just 7 days.*

A breakthrough in barrier skincare, the dual-action formula is proven to deliver hydration up to 10 surface layers deep. Hero ingredient Ectoin simultaneously boosts hydration whilst helping to build barrier strength to keep your skin functioning at its best. The addition of multi-molecular Hyaluronic Acid and a 1% barrier blend helps to restore the protective skin barrier from the outside in, enabling it to retain hydration more effectively. With continued daily use, Ectoin Hydro-Barrier Serum helps to visibly improve 5 signs of a compromised skin barrier: dryness, flakiness, dullness, redness, and slackness.

The milky, lightweight texture effortlessly sinks into the skin leaving an immediate veil of hydration. The fast-absorbing, non-tacky formula layers perfectly under other skincare and makeup. Suitable for use as part of the AM and PM routine.

FAQs

When do I use Ectoin-Hydro Barrier Serum in my routine? This is your hydrate step, so the second step in your routine. Once you have cleansed, apply Ectoin Hydro-Barrier Serum and follow with your preferred treatments and moisturizers. For a barrier-boosting combo, we recommend Bio-Active Ceramide Moisturizer. Always finish with SPF in the AM routine.

Do I use this with Hyaluronic acid, or instead of? Ectoin Hydro-Barrier Serum is perfect for those looking to hydrate and focus on barrier strengthening. As this serum is clinically proven to deeply hydrate up to 10 surface layers deep, you do not need to use Hyaluronic Acid Serum as well. If you want to use both in your routine, you could use Hyaluronic Acid Serum in the morning and Ectoin Hydro-Barrier Serum in your PM routine. However, if you want to use both at the same time, there is no harm - you can never have too much hydration!

Are there any products I cannot use this with? No, Ectoin Hydro-Barrier Serum pairs perfectly with any INKEY product or other ingredients you may be using. In fact, replenishing the skin’s hydration levels and protecting the skin’s barrier is critical if using any active ingredients in your routine. Making this a fundamental step for anyone using products that include things like Retinoids or AHA’s and BHA’s.

Is Ectoin Hydro-Barrier Serum suitable for sensitive skin? Yes, it is clinically proven to be suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin.

Is it non-comedogenic? Yes, Ectoin-Hydro Barrier Serum is clinically proven to be non-comedogenic. It has been formulated as oil-free, as hydration is essential for all skin types including blemish-prone and oily.

Can I use make-up on top of it? Yes. As with all skincare layering, we recommend leaving 30-60 seconds between applying each product to allow the skincare to absorb. In consumer testing, 84% agree the serum layered well under makeup.

Does it have SPF? No, this formula does not contain SPF. We recommend always applying SPF, such as our Polyglutamic Acid Dewy SPF30, as the final step in your skincare routine.
