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.
UltraCalming™ contains UltraCalming™ Complex, our exclusive complex clinically proven to control neurogenic and immunogenic inflammatory pathways that lead to skin sensitivity.
I use this product both morning and night as recommended as the last step in my skin care routine. I love the velvet feel finish it makes me really feel like its locking in all the skin care I use for my face. I also have sensitive skin so I love that this product, along with the similar sensitive skin line, to help keep redness down and lock in moisture.

Bought this after approaching Dermalogica in store regarding my nose, which was often very red, itchy and would go through periods of producing spots. Barrier repair is just wonderful. My nose is no longer red, and when it begins to itch during the day, i reapply barrier repair and the itch disappears. I also think it has worked wonders in reducing the oil that my nose has been producing, thus helping to prevent spots. I recommend applying it once your moisturiser has had time to set. For me, it provides an immediate matte effect. It is quite expensive, but it is worth the money and a little goes a long way!

I have sensitive skin with hormonal acne that is prone to redness and dehydration during the colder months. I find that this product calms my skin some, but the effect doesn't last long nor does it hydrate as well as I'd hope (the Skin Hydrating Booster is great for this). It also leaves an oily sheen on my face throughout the course of the day.

I have ridiculously sensitive skin. Developed rosacea in my thirties and would flare up with external temperature changes, eating gluten, drinking wine, etc etc. Went to Dermalogica for a skin mapping and just general HELP and they got me on the Ultra-Calming line. I use the products religiously and honestly do not get nearly as many flare ups. If I know I am going to be outside in the cold for an extended period, I will put barrier repair on as a preventative and then after. I am a professional makeup artist and I use Barrier Repair on my actors as well. When doing live theater there can be a lot of on and off with makeup changes and that can really irritate skin. Barrier Repair is my go to to make sure actors' skin can handle the stresses we place on their skin.

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.

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.

Hello, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. Barrier Repair is a moisturizer, so you would use it after a serum step (like Phyto Replenish Oil). Calm Water Gel is a moisturizer, so you would you use Calm Water Gel or Barrier Repair. Not both. Kind Regards, Bernadette

Hello, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. Calm Water Gel is a hydrating, light weight moisturizer. It's great for daily use/maintenance. Barrier Repair is a waterless moisturizer that acts like a synthetic barrier on the skin to protect it. It is great for after peels, or harsh weather, to treat chapped skin. Barrier Defense Booster is a serum. Kind Regards, Bernadette
