Dr.Althea 147 Barrier Cream

Deep barrier care for hydrated, resilient and comfortable skin

Dr.Althea 147 Barrier Cream 50ml is a deeply moisturising Korean face cream designed to replenish hydration, strengthen the skin's moisture barrier and provide lasting comfort to dry, dehydrated and sensitive-feeling skin.

Key Ingredients

Ceramide NP

A skin-identical lipid that helps support the natural moisture barrier, reducing moisture loss and helping maintain a smoother, more resilient complexion. Ceramide NP is included in the current official formula.

Multiple Forms of Hyaluronic Acid

The formula contains an extensive combination of Hyaluronic Acid derivatives, including Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer and Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate. These humectants help attract and retain moisture for hydrated and plump-looking skin.

Squalane

A lightweight emollient that helps soften the skin and reinforce moisture retention, supporting a smoother and more comfortable complexion.

Ectoin

Helps support skin hydration and resilience while providing additional care for skin exposed to environmental stress.

Centella Asiatica

A soothing botanical ingredient that helps condition and comfort sensitive or stressed-feeling skin.

Beta-Glucan

Provides moisturising and soothing benefits, complementing the formula's focus on maintaining skin comfort and barrier health.

How to Use

Apply Dr.Althea 147 Barrier Cream after cleansing and lighter skincare products such as toner, essence or serum.

Take an appropriate amount and gently spread it evenly across the face. Press gently into the skin until absorbed.

For particularly dry or barrier-stressed skin, it can be used as a richer evening moisturiser to help maintain hydration overnight.

Why Choose Dr.Althea?

Dr.Althea is a South Korean skincare brand known for formulas developed around different skin concerns, including hydration, sensitivity and barrier support.

The 147 Barrier Cream is specifically designed for customers whose skin needs more intensive moisture and barrier care. Its formula combines Ceramide NP with nourishing emollients and multiple forms of Hyaluronic Acid, creating a moisturiser that addresses both hydration and moisture retention.

Compared with lighter everyday moisturisers, its richer texture makes it especially useful for dry, dehydrated or barrier-stressed skin, as well as during colder weather or when skincare routines leave the complexion feeling particularly dry.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Dr.Althea 147 Barrier Cream do?

It provides deep hydration while helping strengthen the skin's moisture barrier and reduce feelings of tightness, roughness and discomfort associated with dryness.

Is it suitable for dry skin?

Yes. Dr.Althea specifically recommends the cream for dry and dehydrated skin, particularly when deeper moisturisation and barrier support are needed.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

The brand positions the cream for sensitive-feeling and barrier-stressed skin, and the formula includes soothing and barrier-supporting ingredients such as Centella Asiatica, Ceramide NP and Beta-Glucan. Individual sensitivities can still vary.

Does it contain Ceramides?

Yes. The current ingredient list contains Ceramide NP, which helps support the skin's natural moisture barrier.

Does it contain Hyaluronic Acid?

Yes. The formula contains multiple forms and derivatives of Hyaluronic Acid to provide comprehensive moisture-supporting care.

Does it contain Squalane?

Yes. Squalane appears in the current official ingredient list and provides additional emollient and moisture-supporting benefits.

Can I use it every day?

Yes. It can be used as your everyday moisturiser, particularly if your skin is dry, dehydrated or in need of additional barrier support.

Can I use it morning and night?

Yes. It can be incorporated into either routine. Its richer texture makes it particularly well suited to evening use or colder weather. During the daytime, follow with sunscreen.

Can I use it with Retinol?

Yes. Dr.Althea specifically suggests a sandwich method with potentially irritating actives such as retinoids: a light layer of 147 Barrier Cream, followed by the active treatment and then another layer of the cream to help maintain moisture and support the barrier.

What is the difference between Dr.Althea 147 Barrier Cream and 345 Relief Cream?

The 147 Barrier Cream is the richer, more barrier-focused option, particularly suited to dry, dehydrated and barrier-stressed skin. The 345 Relief Cream has a lighter approach and is positioned more around soothing care for post-blemish concerns and sensitive-feeling skin. If your customer primarily wants deep moisture and barrier support, the 147 is the stronger match.
