DR ALTHEA 147 Barrier Cream - 50ml

If your skin feels dry, tight, or a little stressed and you want a cream that adds real moisture while helping the skin's surface feel comfortable, this is a thoughtful pick. The Dr. Althea 147 Barrier Cream is a barrier cream made to deliver deep hydration and a soft, cushioned finish. It sinks in with a silky feel and no greasy residue, which is part of why it has become such a well-loved Korean moisturizer.

What makes it interesting is the formula behind the name. It leans on a seven-layer hyaluronic acid complex for moisture across the skin, ceramides and cholesterol to support the skin's surface, and Dr. Althea's patented white peony flower extract for a nourished feel. The texture is rich but not heavy, with a light blue tint that comes from naturally derived guaiazulene. It has no added synthetic fragrance, though some formula versions include a small amount of naturally derived botanical oil, which can give a very faint natural scent.

This cream is a good fit for dry, dehydrated, or comfort-seeking skin, and it works nicely as a nourishing final step in the evening. Combination skin can enjoy it too, since it stays lightweight for a barrier cream. If you have very oily skin or you prefer a light gel moisturizer, this richer texture may feel like more than you need.

• Rich yet lightweight texture that melts in with a silky finish

• Leaves no greasy or heavy residue after applying

• Soft blue tint that comes from naturally derived guaiazulene
