ultracalming™

Treat the multiple triggers behind inflammation for lasting relief from sensitivity flare-ups.

Itching, burning, stinging and redness are the obvious signs of sensitive skin. The triggers behind these sensations are less clear: genetics, hormones, stress, chemical assaults, foods and even aggressive skin treatments can intensify skin’s highly reactive state. The common thread behind irritation, flushing and stinging is inflammation. When paired with the loss of skin’s protective barrier, skin health is compromised and becomes highly reactive.

how it works

UltraCalming™ contains UltraCalming™ Complex, our exclusive complex clinically proven to control neurogenic and immunogenic inflammatory pathways that lead to skin sensitivity.

Continuously impressed by this product

I originally bought this product after my first facial with my esthetician recommended it. That was over a year ago and I can tell you I am so happy with this product. It makes my skin feel velvety smooth and is the perfect finisher for my daily routine. Since beginning to use dermalogica products I have become obsessed and can't recommend the products enough. I always had troubled, acne pron, sensitive skin and have previously tried other companies, none have helped nearly as much as dermalogica.

Buyers regret :-(

I bought this as I thought it was a moisturiser (I.e it's recommended use after cleanse, toner, serum...) but it is awful! I also purchased this as I am pregnant and wanted to use sensitive skincare and I live in a cold dry climate. It's like a silicon barrier that sits on the skin but doesn't moisturise or get into the skin, I'm actually not sure what it does or meant to do but I'm pretty sure it's not doing anything but being a waste of money. Normally after moisturiser my skin feels soft, fresh and glows but this doesn't look like I've done anything and feels awful. DO NOT BUY!!!

I like this product after the ultra calming serum. They make an excellent and effective pair. I would not use one without the other. Allow a minute or two between application of the two products.

Oh my do I have a damaged skin barrier. I have tried almost every kind of moisturizer from oils to creams and haven't found anything that can seal my sores better than this product. This is seriously a miracle product , there is nothing else like the barrier repair.

This product was recommended to me by someone at Ulta. I had red itchy bumps on my cheeks and suffer from this several times a year. The minute I put it on, my skin felt cool and I noticed a decrease in redness. I love this product. It works as a great primer under my makeup and calms my skin down at night.

I use this product twice a day and it really helps to keep my skin smooth. It helps to keep my skin from peeling due to my harsh acne medication.

I use this product and most of the ultracalming line of products. I use this after ultracalming serum concentrate or calm water gel. This is by far my most favorite product. It goes on really smooth and feels great on the skin with no irritation. My skin is typical red and this helps a lot. Be sure to allow your moisturizer to fully soak in before applying. I usually wait 5-10 mins before applying.

Great Feeling

This feels great going on, not greasy at all. I hate the feel of anything on my face. I can't wear makeup, many lotions, and sunscreen regularly because i hate how it feels on my skin. This feels truly weightless! I am not sure if it actually makes a difference on my skin but it does keep it moister and love the feel of it.

Hello , Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. If you have acne, you may prefer Calm Water Gel. Kind Regards, Bernadette

I work in construction and am constantly exposed to the elements as well several types of pollutants. Will this product help protect me skin ? I have reactive skin. Also what would be a good type of moisturizer to pair with this. I am 48yrs old so aging skin is a concern but many products I have tried have irritation. I am new to the dermalogica line and since it is not cheap its hard to experiment with finding the right [products. Thank you Karen

Karen

Hello, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. You can use Antioxidant Hydramist as an antioxidant shield. Seal it in with Barrier Repair. At night, double cleanse with Precleanse and Ultra Calming Cleanser to deep clean. Follow with Daily Superfoliant as an antipollution exfoliant. Kind Regards, Bernadette

Hi Do i use active moist before or after barrier repair? And does barrier repair protect against chlorine in the pool? Thanks

Judith

Hello , Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. Barrier Repair is a moisturizer, so it is not necessary to apply on top of Active Moist. Kind Regards, Bernadette

Hi I have acne and pustules on my face, is it suitable to be using Barrier Repair on my face? I used it in college as my skin was sensitive but did not have acne at the time?

L

Hello, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. You may prefer a more light weight option, like Calm Water Gel. Kind Regards, Bernadette

Can I use barrier repair as my nighttime moisturizer and agesmart dynamic skin recovery with spf 50 as my daytime moisturizer? Or is there a better combination to use?

Karesha

Hello Karesha, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. That is a great combination if it works for you. You can also use Calm Water Gel as a hydrating serum step. Kind Regards, Bernadette
