Product Overview

EltaMD Barrier Renewal Complex Facial Moisturizer restores dry and compromised skin.

Fortified with clinically-proven healing ingredients, this deeply nourishing facial moisturizer improves the condition of compromised skin after one application. A blend of ceramides, cholesterol and hyaluronic acid provide deep hydration. Enzymes from kiwi, pineapple and fig gently exfoliate for visibly smoother, renewed skin. Antioxidant vitamin E protects skin from free radical damage and helps diminish visible signs of aging like fine lines, dull skin texture and uneven skin tone.

Key Features:

  • Clinically proven to improve dry and compromised skin within 24 hours
  • Strengthens your skin's moisture barrier
  • Non-comedogenic, fragrance-free and paraben-free

This product is packaged with an airless pump dispenser, which uses a vacuum system to dispense the product. EltaMD intentionally overfills items with airless pumps in anticipation that a small amount may leak in transit, especially in hot weather and/or during air travel. They do this in order to make sure that the entire amount of product is in the jar, even if a small amount leaks. For this reason, these items actually contain slightly more product than advertised before they are shipped to ensure the customer still receives an item with the appropriate amount of product. 

Highlights

  • Replenishes dry skin
  • Calms the look of redness
  • Reduces the appearance of pores

Directions

Apply morning and night to face, neck, and décolletage. For day-time use, follow with EltaMD sunscreen as directed by a physician.

Airless Pump Information: When using your airless pump for the first time, you will need to prime the container by pumping out excess air. Hold a finger over the area where the product comes out and slowly pump the product about 10-15 times. This will help push the extra air out and "jumpstart" the pump. You may need to do this off and on when using this product. If you are still experiencing trouble, try tapping the bottom of the product or pumping it upside down.

Please note that since this is an airless pump, you will not find a straw that dips down into the product. This is not a defect.

Answered Questions (1)

Is this a night cream or more like a serum where you would use a night cream afterwards?

The EltaMD Barrier Renewal Complex is a treatment moisturizer, not a serum. There is no need to use an additional night cream after applying this as the last product in your nightly skin care regimen.

ELTA MD always a win

Using this for especially dry skin during the winter. Or after using retinol products or getting a peel, is a quick way to allow your skin to heal and glow.

Very moisturizing for my sensitized skin

I had some really bad irritation from a chemical sunscreen that left me scaly, dry and itchy. I bought this because almost everything else burned my skin, even my post procedure products. It went on smoothly and didn’t burn or irritate my skin. I woke up the next day feeling much less dryness and irritation. I would buy this again.

Great quality and good price point!

I am always happy to find a product that works well and is a good value, too. I really like all the Elta products and this one is no exception. It is a nice moisturizer that goes on smoothly and helps skin to recover from products such as retinols.

Just OK

Was hoping to like this as much as everyone else, but found it was not as moisturizing as needed and it was not addressing dry flakey spots well. OK if your skin is not really dry.

An Overnight Miracle

I first learned about EltaMD Barrier Renewal Complex Facial Moisturizer from my dermatologist. As I have aged, my skin has become very dry and I find that applying this moisturizer every night has eliminated the obvious dryness on my face. It is easy to apply and doesn't have a greasy feeling at all. It also soaks into my skin so it doesn't soil my pillow. I have been extremely happy with it and am so glad that my dermatologist recommended that I use it as the best product to help my dry complexion.

Great moisturizer however causes peeling

Moisturizes well, however it gently exfoliates so be careful when combining with retinol/tretinoin. It can cause excessive peeling.

Horrid Reformulation

This used to be a great product, but the reformulation has drastically reduced its quality. On a percentage basis, the ceramides are now basically nonexistent. They used to be among the first-listed ingredients, and now they are close to last. The company also added soybean oil, so it is no longer an oil-free product. Other additions are iffy too. This is not worth the price anymore.

Perfect moisturizer

I use Elta MD AM Restore moisturizer every morning, and I use EltaMD Barrier Renewal Complex moisturizer at night. It feels good going on my face, and never stings or causes problems on my very sensitive skin.

An Exceptional Moisturizer

I apply the Barrier Renewal Moisturizer over the EltaMD serum. It goes on smoothly and melts into my skin. I then apply the EltaMD sunscreen over the moisturizer. I also apply a foundation over the sunscreen during the work week. There is no pilling and my skin feels soft and natural throughout the day. I have tried many moisturizers through the years and the Barrier Renewal is the most effective on my skin. I will continue to use this moisturizer.

It burns my skin

I purchased this product in October. I was no able to use it but for two nights, each time with an uncomfortable burning sensation, until I applied my regular moisturizer over my face. I decided to wait few weeks and thought that perhaps when the weather warms up, my skin reaction to this moisturizer will be positive. Last night, just as it was back in October, my face kept burning me right after the Elta MD Barrier Renewal Complex application. Similarly, as it was in the past, I had to apply my regular moisturizer to calm down the burning sensation. Most definitely, I am unable to use this product.

Nice moisturizer!

This is my first time using this barrier moisturizer. It’s great! Just a little goes a long way. It feels silky not heavy and my skin seems to like it! I’ll order it again!

Won't Break the Bank

EltaMD Barrier Renewal Complex Facial Moisturizer has quickly become a staple in my skincare routine, and I'm absolutely loving it. I decided to give it a shot after using a more expensive SkinCeuticals cream, and I must say, I haven't looked back since. This moisturizer strikes the perfect balance – it's luxuriously hydrating without feeling heavy or greasy. The formula is rich in nourishing ingredients, and I've noticed a significant improvement in the overall texture and resilience of my skin. Not only does EltaMD deliver results comparable to the pricier options, but it also comes with a more budget-friendly tag. If you're on the hunt for a fantastic facial moisturizer that won't break the bank, EltaMD Barrier Renewal Complex is definitely worth considering.

Super hydrating

This moisturizer is the absolute best. When applied at night, you can still feel the hydration in the morning. Not greasy or messy- it’s the best I’ve used.

Nice moisturizer

I like to use this as a daytime moisturizer during the dry winter months. It’s very hydrating and has a great consistency (not too thick, not too thin). I’m glad that I purchased it.

Just ok

I got this to use as a post-procedure healing cream, but it actually made my face red upon application, which seemed odd.
