COSRX The Ceramide Skin Barrier Moisturizer

COSRX The Ceramide Skin Barrier Moisturizer is a nourishing daily moisturiser designed to help strengthen, repair, and protect the skin barrier while delivering long-lasting hydration. Ideal for dry, sensitive, or compromised skin, this comforting formula helps lock in moisture and defend against environmental stressors that can leave skin feeling tight, irritated, or dehydrated. Size 80ml.

Powered by a skin-identical barrier complex featuring Ceramides, Cholesterol, and Fatty Acids, this moisturiser helps reinforce the skin's natural protective barrier and improve moisture retention. Together, these essential lipids help support healthier-looking skin while reducing moisture loss and enhancing overall skin resilience.

Enriched with soothing ingredients including Panthenol, Allantoin, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), and multiple forms of Hyaluronic Acid, the formula helps calm discomfort, deeply hydrate, and leave skin feeling soft, smooth, and comfortable throughout the day. The non-comedogenic formula has also passed skin irritation testing, making it suitable for sensitive and blemish-prone skin types.

Online Review

"The best way to lock in your skincare. I find it really hydrating. I like to use it especially as part of my morning routine under my sunscreen. It works really well when I have dry patches or flaky skin around my nose. I recommend it if you want a moisturiser that sits nicely without being overly greasy."
