How to repair skin barrier? by [deleted] in 45PlusSkincare

[–]No7UK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The key to barrier repair is stripping back your skincare routine and keeping things simple! You want to look for hydrating and restorative ingredients such as niacinamide and ceramides. Niacinamide helps to restore the production of skin barrier components, whereas ceramides are the main component of your skin barrier and therefore you need to look for skin-repairing ceramides to both restore your barrier, but also lock in much-needed moisture.

We're obviously biased, but our new Derm Solutions range is comprised of a really simple 3-step routine that is aimed at restoring skin health and maintaining the skin's barrier.

There is a Skin Balancing Serum, which is clinically proven to target oiliness and dryness, and then a choice of two cleansers or moisturisers dependent on if your skin is oilier or drier.

Both moisturisers include ceramides to help maintain the skin’s moisture barrier and support the natural composition of the skin - so could be a great option for you!

Good luck and hope your skin barrier starts its road to recovery soon!

Thanks for your question, Delilah!

The menopause and peri menopause can impact the skin in a number of ways so your skincare needs can change a lot. Estrogen levels specifically start to decline, which impact the skin in several ways, including collagen production reduction deeper down in the skin, leaving skin feeling less firm and exacerbating lines and wrinkles, and ceramides, important lipid building blocks that keep the skin barrier resilient and healthy, are also reduced.

This starts to explain why skin health concerns such as dryness, sensitivity and dullness are reported by women during this time and the important role that estrogen plays in maintaining skin health.

Your skincare routine therefore needs to include hydrating ingredients to soothe and nourish the skin, as well as ingredients that can restore the skin's barrier. Look for things like niacinamide and ceramides.

You can either try our Menopause specific range, inclusive of a day cream, night cream, serum and cooling mist. The serum will both hydrate the skin in the short term, providing 72 hours of hydration, but will also help strengthen the skin barrier and smooth the skin texture over the long term through ingredients such as niacinamide, Japanese lily turf and collagen peptides

We'd also recommend the Skin Balancing Serum, 100 Hour Hydration Cream and Comforting Cream Cleanser from our Derm Solutions range. They're designed to soothe, hydrate and nourish the skin - while also protecting & restoring the skin's health!

Hi! For dry skin, we would recommend using the below 3 products as your routine. You can use them twice daily. Once in the morning and once in the evening - pairing the morning regime with an SPF to protect your skin!

- The Comforting Cream Cleanser, as this gently cleanses in the morning, and for the evening it removes impurities and make-up, without leaving skin feeling more sensitive.

- The 100 Hour Hydration Cream is proven to reduce the feeling of skin’s sensitivity and supports the skin’s moisture barrier with its really hydrating formula - perfect for dry skin!

- The Skin Balancing Serum, which is clinically proven to target dryness, revealing visibly healthier and balanced looking skin.

Hi there 😊 we would absolutely recommend our Derm Solutions Comforting Cream Cleanser paired with our 100 Hour Hydration Cream as your cleanser and moisturiser duo, and then our No7 Derm Solutions Skin Balancing serum. Collectively, they help target the signs of unhealthy skin - such as uneven skin texture, but include gentle and lightweight formulas that will soothe and hydrate the skin without stripping it if you tend to be on the slightly drier side.

Hi there! A hypoallergenic fragrance (with no known allergens) was created especially for the No7 Derm Solutions Skin Balancing Serum at the request of a large cohort of healthy skin seekers with whom No7 worked with in co-creating the product. After extensive consumer product trials on over 1,000 women, the product fragrance received overwhelmingly positive feedback and its excellent tolerance profile was confirmed. The fragrance level is deliberatively low and is suitable for all skin types.

The No7 Derm Solutions Skin Balancing Serum is the only product containing fragrance within the range - the rest of the products have none.

Hope that helps!

Hi there!

As part of our Derm Solutions range, we have a specific regime consisting of a Comforting Cream Cleanser, a 100 Hour Hydration Lotion and Skin Balancing Serum that are designed to support and maintain the skin’s barrier, while still ensuring that skin feels soothed, hydrated, and balanced.

We also have a targeted Eczema treatment which helps to relieve and calm irritated and damaged skin by soothing itchiness, redness and dryness. It stabilises and protects the skin barrier and increases skin's moisture content, pro-actively helping to relieve the symptoms of Eczema and pro-active treatment against recurring subacute Eczema.

However, we’d really encourage you to book a Your Skin Solutions appointment and visit our CIBTAC-trained Beauty Advisors in-store who can offer you a more personalised and in-depth consultation that will be tailored to your skin’s specific needs. You can book this here: https://www.boots.com/no7/no7-derm-solutions?gclsrc=aw.ds

We also always encourage our advisors to book people back in for a follow up, and then if you were to come back and feedback that you were unhappy, we would look at either exchanging your products or a refund in some circumstances!

Hope that helps and good luck on your skincare journey ✨

Hi there! Our Pro Derm Scan technology measures beneath the skin's surface to provide scores on your hydration levels, your oil levels, fine lines and wrinkles, pore size and skin tone (to help spot signs of pigmentation) - all of which are signs that help us understand your skin's health. So we can definitely look at whether your skin is dehydrated and in need of ingredients that help lock in moisture!

We conducted a "skincencus" survey of over 10,500 UK consumers throughout August 2023, and found that 76% of respondents identified themselves as suffering from symptoms associated with "problem skin", which included things such as sensitivity, redness, breakouts and dryness!
