Dr. Althea 147 Barrier Cream 50 ml

Dr. Althea 147 Barrier Cream is built for one job: rebuilding a skin barrier that has stopped holding moisture in.

The number refers to its formula structure — a concentrated ceramide complex supported by fatty acids and cholesterol, the three components that make up the skin's own lipid layer. That ratio matters: applying ceramides alone does less than supplying all three together, which is what makes this a repair cream rather than just a moisturizer.

It is fragrance-free and suits skin that has become tight, flaky or reactive from weather, over-cleansing or active ingredients.

How to use: as the final step of your routine, press an even layer over the face. Morning and evening. Apply while the skin is still slightly damp for the best result.

Size: 50 ml

Frequently asked questions

How is it different from the 345 Relief Cream?
The 345 focuses on calming active irritation and redness. The 147 focuses on rebuilding the lipid barrier over time. Skin that is stinging now wants the 345; skin that is chronically dry and reactive wants this.

What are ceramides?
Lipids that make up around half of the skin's outer barrier. When they run low, water escapes and irritants get in — which is what dryness and sensitivity actually are.

Can I use it every day?
Yes. Barrier repair works through consistency, not intensity.
