Highlights

Suitable for

All skin types, especially sensitive, dehydrated, aging, and symptomatic

Why we stand behind it

This groundbreaking serum works to replenish and maintain the skin′s barrier layer while balancing moisture levels to address dry, dehydrated skin.

Good for skin with dermatitis-related conditions (allergic and atopic), sensitive skin, and rosacea-prone skin.

Key ingredients

Ceramides: Lipid molecules within cell membranes, they help cells form a protective layer that plumps skin and retains moisture.
Plankton extract: Restructures the skin matrix for improved barrier function.
Sodium hyaluronate: Occurs naturally in skin, maintaining its moisture and elasticity. This large molecule can’t fully penetrate the skin’s outer layers to fill wrinkles, yet it’s a wonderful humectant, holding up to 1000x its own weight in water.
L-arginine: Also known as L-glutamine, this amino acid is proven to play an important role in the growth of fibroblast cells.
Sodium PCA: A humectant found in human skin has high water absorbing properties, and the ability to absorb moisture from the air.
Phosphatidyl serine: Some studies show topical application slows wrinkling by inhibiting enzymes that break down collagen.
Magnesium chloride: May help alleviate dryness/inflammation in magnesium deficient skin by increasing elasticity and moisture.

Reviews

noticable difference

"I have re-purchased this because it helps with my redness and irritation. Not a great scent, but a nice gentle calming product."

— Ellen M. (5/5)

Nice during dry seasons

"Not the greatest scent but this is the case for most MV products and it's to be expected - it makes it feel clean and without a ton of additives imo. It gets the job done for a serum; i like to mix and match w a vitamin c serum as well. This one feels esp helpful when it gets dryer out for me"

— Molly P. (4/5)

Did not disappoint

"This product in all honesty saved my skin."

— Alyx C. (5/5)

So silky smooth

"Have been using for only a couple weeks and love so far. Even with sensitive skin I’ve not had any breakouts or issues like I normally would with something like this"

— Jamie S. (4/5)

My Favorite Product

"Marie Veronique is my favorite skin care brand. And Barrier Restore Serum is one of their best products. Because the line seeks to reset and change the behavior of your skin cells, it's an investment in your future face, which does take time, and the products work best in synergy with one another because they have complementary ingredients. So if you're going to give Marie Veronique a try - and I highly recommend you do - you can go to their website and email one of the skin care experts who work for them, and they'll help you put together a routine. And I recommend you invest in the routine, not a single "miracle" product you think can suddenly change your skin. And then give it time to work. You're worth the investment (: But, I also understand it's pricey, so if you're going to start somewhere, I recommend this Barrier Restore Serum."

— Jessica T. (5/5)

Super Hydrating

"Great summer and winter hydration!"

— JENNIFER G. (5/5)

Great

"Looks like it’s working"

— Carli S. (5/5)

THE Serum of all serums

"This serum is worth its weight in gold. My face is so sensitive, prone redness, dryness, flakiness, hives, bumps, sadness etc. This serum changed all of that. My skin has never looked better in all its days, and let me tell you that perimenopause has not made that easy. Using this serum, my skin is so vibrant, calm, smooth, hydrated, and clear that I can go without makeup and feel confident in my skin. Using a tinted moisturizer is sufficient for days I am out in the sun. I am thrilled by how good my face feels! I just purchased my second bottle, and honestly, the wait to receive it was brutal. Never again will I be without it. So happy I found this."

— Tara H. (5/5)

Healing Serum

"This serum is amazing! My skin is starting to feel soft and supple again."

— Jennifer E. (5/5)

Game changer

"This product single-handedly changed my skin. I was struggling with dermatitis, and it was the only thing that got rid of it. This is my third bottle, and I now use it every other night for maintenance — highly recommend!"

— Carling F. (5/5)
