Obagi - Skin Barrier Recovery Cream

Obagi Medical Rebalance Skin Barrier Recovery Cream is formulated with BarrierPlex Technology, a proprietary blend of postbiotics, hydrating agents, and soothing ingredients designed to restore and rebalance the skin's microbiome.

The microbiome is a genuinely important and often overlooked part of barrier function. The bacterial communities living on the skin help regulate inflammation and defend against pathogens, and disrupting them through harsh cleansing or over-treatment contributes to the sensitivity, redness, and reactivity patients frequently present with.

In study, 100% of participants showed an improvement in skin hydration after the first use. The cream soothes skin, restores hydration, and rebalances and maintains a healthy microbiome. It suits normal, oily, dry, combination, and sensitive skin.

1. Apply to clean, dry skin morning and evening.
2. Use a small amount across the face and neck.
3. In the morning, follow with a broad spectrum sunscreen.
4. Reapply as often as your skin feels tight or uncomfortable.

If your skin has become reactive, use this as your only treatment product for two to four weeks before reintroducing actives.

Microbiome-focused skincare has been oversold in places, but the underlying science is sound. The bacterial communities on the skin regulate inflammation and defend against pathogens, and disrupting them with harsh cleansing or aggressive actives has real consequences.

Our providers use this most often in barrier rescue. When a patient arrives with red, stinging, reactive skin from an over-loaded routine, the plan is to strip everything back to a gentle cleanser, this cream, and sunscreen for two to four weeks, then reintroduce actives one at a time.

That approach resolves the majority of self-inflicted sensitivity, and it usually reveals which product was the actual culprit. Order it whenever you need it. We ship nationwide, and no appointment is required.
