WHY I CREATED THIS

Hi, I'm SONIA ROSELLI

And I get it. I created this for us, the ones with skin that's, well, a bit moody. Any treatment or exfoliation, and our skin's like, "oh no you didn't!"

Picture this: my skin, going rogue after a micro-needling treatment. Not fun. But, the Barrier Repair Trio was a game-changer. Six weeks of this, and my skin started playing nice again.

The best part? After those six weeks, I switched back to my regular skincare routine with the Healthy Glow Kitand a jar of Intense Barrier Cream and it was smooth sailing. It's not just skincare - it's a peace treaty with our skin with a believable, youthful glow.

FAQs

barrier cream for the face is a specialized skincare product designed to create a protective barrier on the skin's surface. It helps to shield the skin from external irritants, such as pollutants and harsh weather conditions, while locking in moisture.

Intense Barrier Cream works by forming a thin, occlusive layer on the skin's surface. This layer acts as a shield, preventing moisture loss and protecting the skin from environmental stressors.

However, you can adjust the frequency based on your skin's specific needs and preferences.

I Love Intense Barrier Cream!

Intense Barrier Cream is amazing! I am using it at night before bed. It goes on easily and absorbs into my skin quickly. It has helped reduce wrinkles and fine lines and my skin feels smooth and silky when I wake up in the morning. My skin has never looked better since I started using Sonia Roselli products. I highly recommend all of her products and especially the Intense Barrier Cream. I am 67 years old.

The extra boost I needed

This product gave my dry, sensitive skin the extra oomph it needed. I love the other skin prep products, but found my skin was still pretty thirsty…especially after some travel to SUPER dry conditions. I now use this in coordination with the other skin prep products in the am and over actives in the pm and my face feels ‘chefs kiss.’
