Barrier Remedy Hand Cream: A year-round savior that brings comfort to my hands
Barrier Remedy Hand Cream promises to not only fight bacteria, but also nourish and restore the skin’s moisture barrier. When I was given the opportunity to try this product, I couldn’t help but feel a pang of longing. From the beginning, it seemed like the perfect solution for my hands. After enduring the harsh effects of sun damage, plummeting temperatures, and the wear and tear of my intense daily boxing and gym workouts, my hands were in desperate need of rescue. This is what I gave them.
About the formula
As a physician’s assistant, Saloumeh Zoghi, the mastermind behind Barrier Remedy, experienced firsthand the harmful effects of traditional alcohol-based sanitizers. Determined to find a solution, she crafted this versatile hand cream designed to soothe, hydrate and disinfect without damaging the skin barrier.
At the heart of this formula is the power of antibacterial colloidal silver, which serves as a gentler alternative to alcohol, which is notorious for drying out the skin. Combined with witch hazel extract and benzalkonium chloride (also known for its antiseptic and antibacterial properties), the cream provides a gentle and effective solution to fight bacteria and prevent germs. In these challenging times, when hand hygiene is critical, we all need products like this.
Barrier Remedy goes a step further by adding ingredients such as shea butter, niacinamide and ceramides, which are designed to repair cracked skin and soften dry hands. The nourishing fatty acids in shea butter further hydrate and strengthen the skin from external damage. Another important role of shea butter is to form an invisible protective film on the surface that acts as a barrier to prevent dirt and other external enemies from entering the skin.
This hand cream provides additional hydration with a blend of four potent moisturizers – betaine, glycerin, aloe vera leaf and hyaluronic acid. Moisturizers work by drawing moisture into the skin, soothing and promoting healing. With this powerful combination of ingredients, Barrier Remedy truly goes above and beyond and provides optimal care for your hands.
Barrier Remedy Hand Cream Texture
Scent and Texture
Probably the first thing to notice about Barrier Remedy Hand Cream is the scent, which in my opinion strikes a balance between a medicine cabinet and the sweet essence of fresh berries. What I especially appreciate is that it lasts up to three hours if I don’t wash my hands.
The texture is soft and easy to apply, and absorbs effortlessly without leaving any residue or stickiness. I have to say, this is one thing I like about it: it doesn’t leave any fingerprint marks on my keyboard when I use it and work immediately after. That’s important to me.
My experience with hand creams
In my spare time, I spend a lot of time gardening, playing with my cats, or tinkering with various repair jobs, so I often get a few scratches or minor cuts here and there. That’s why I appreciate the way this hand cream comes to the rescue; it really is a barrier treatment.
Its nourishing formula not only immediately soothes the wound, but also actively supports and accelerates the healing process. I even put it on damaged skin and it never stings, burns or makes my skin uncomfortable – another huge boon for me.
Also, I love that the small container opening gives me complete control over the amount of cream I dispense without releasing too much.
I have been using Barrier Remedy Hand Cream for the past three weeks and I have noticed a difference in the way my hands look and feel. In that time, the backs of my hands have become softer and my cuticles look more moisturized and noticeably less dry.
