What it does

Repairs the barrier over the long term. Barrier function is what decides whether your skin looks hydrated, calm, and resilient, or reactive, dehydrated, and irritated. This Pod reinforces that function, not just hydrating the surface.

Ideal for

  • A damaged barrier
  • Growing sensitivity
  • Frequent loss of hydration
  • Skin after retinol or acids
  • Reactions to products you used to tolerate

The active ingredients

Niacinamide

Increases the synthesis of ceramides, free fatty acids, and cholesterol: the three main barrier lipids. It reduces transepidermal water loss measured in in vivo studies.

Panthenol

It converts to vitamin B5 once it enters the skin and feeds lipid synthesis. It speeds recovery after irritation.
