Restore Ceramides + Gotu Kola Barrier Repair Cream

Lightweight barrier support for calmer, more comfortable skin

A fast-absorbing daily moisturizer designed to replenish essential moisture and reduce the appearance of redness caused by dryness. Restore combines Ceramide NP with Gotu Kola, vegan squalane and glycerin to support the skin’s moisture barrier, soften rough texture and help sensitive skin feel calm and comfortable.

Its rich yet breathable texture provides lasting hydration without a heavy or greasy finish. Clinically tested for sensitive skin and found to be hypoallergenic, it layers beautifully beneath sunscreen and makeup while restoring a soft, healthy-looking radiance.

Best For

Restore is particularly well suited to:

• Sensitive, sensitized or easily reactive skin

• Visible redness caused by dryness
• Rough, flaky or uncomfortable texture
• A compromised or over-cleansed skin barrier
• Normal or combination skin experiencing seasonal dryness
• Anyone seeking a fragrance-free daily moisturizer

Why It Is Different

Barrier creams are often associated with dense, occlusive textures. Restore provides replenishing barrier support in a lighter, more breathable formula that can be used comfortably morning and evening.

Its carefully edited ingredient list combines skin-identical lipids, humectants and soothing botanical support without added fragrance or essential oils.

• Ceramide NP: Helps replenish ceramides naturally found within the skin barrier, supporting moisture retention and reducing dryness.
• Gotu Kola: An antioxidant-rich botanical extract that helps soothe visible redness caused by dryness and supports a more even-looking complexion.
• Vegan Squalane: Replenishes lightweight moisture while helping skin feel soft, supple and comfortable.
• Glycerin and Jojoba Esters: Help attract moisture and condition the skin for a smoother, more hydrated finish.

How to Use

Use morning and evening.

Apply one pump to clean, dry skin after toner and serum. Massage gently over the face, neck and décolleté. Allow approximately two minutes for the cream to absorb before applying sunscreen or makeup.

Patch test before first use. Always finish with broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day.

Loshen & Crem’s Recommendation

Restore is an excellent choice when the skin feels tight, rough or unusually reactive, particularly after over-cleansing, excessive exfoliation or exposure to cold, dry weather.

Pair it with a simple, fragrance-free routine while your barrier feels vulnerable. Avoid introducing several exfoliating acids or retinoids at once, and use lukewarm rather than hot water when cleansing.

For greater barrier support, apply Replenish Ceramides + Blueberry Barrier Repair Serum first, then follow with Restore to help seal in hydration. Combination skin can apply a lighter layer through the T-zone and a fuller layer over dry or redness-prone areas.

How Ceramides Support the Skin Barrier

The outermost layer of the skin is often compared to a brick wall. Skin cells act as the bricks, while ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids form the lipid-rich mortar that helps hold everything together.

When this protective structure becomes depleted, the skin can lose water more easily and may feel dry, tight, rough or sensitive. Ceramide NP helps supplement these naturally occurring lipids, while squalane, glycerin and jojoba esters support hydration and comfort.

A barrier cream does not generate new skin cells or treat medical conditions. Instead, it creates a more supportive environment in which the skin can retain moisture and recover from everyday dryness and irritation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Restore suitable for sensitive or reactive skin?

Yes. Restore was created for sensitive skin and has been dermatologist-tested and clinically evaluated as hypoallergenic. However, hypoallergenic does not mean that an allergic reaction is impossible, so patch testing is still recommended.

Can Restore help with redness?

Gotu Kola, ceramides and moisture-supporting ingredients can help soothe the appearance of redness caused by dryness or a compromised moisture barrier. Restore is not intended to diagnose or treat rosacea or another medical skin condition.

Is this moisturizer suitable for dry skin?

Yes. Restore replenishes moisture and helps reduce the tight, rough feeling associated with dry or dehydrated skin. Its texture is nourishing without feeling overly heavy.

Can combination or oily skin use it?

Yes. Its fast-absorbing texture can work well for combination skin, particularly when dryness or dehydration is present. Oilier skin types may prefer to apply a smaller amount or concentrate it on drier areas.

What is the difference between Replenish Serum and Restore Cream?

Replenish is a lightweight serum that delivers ceramides, blueberry seed oil and prickly pear oil. Restore is the moisturizing step that follows, helping seal in hydration and support the skin barrier. The two products can be used together or separately.

Can I use Restore after exfoliating acids or retinol?

Yes. Its ceramide-rich formula can help replenish moisture after active treatments. If your skin is visibly irritated, burning or peeling, pause strong actives until it feels comfortable again.

Can it be used under makeup?

Yes. Apply one pump and allow the cream to absorb for approximately two minutes before following with sunscreen and makeup.

Is Restore fragrance-free?

Yes. The formula contains no added fragrance or essential oils, making it a thoughtful option for fragrance-sensitive skin.

Can I use it on my neck and décolleté?

Yes. Apply Restore across the face, neck and décolleté morning and evening. Remember to extend sunscreen over these areas during the day.
