Barrier Repair Routine – 7 Steps (Save 20%)

This routine is designed for the days your skin feels tight, flaky, dehydrated or simply “not like your own.”

When the barrier is compromised — from over-exfoliation, harsh products, weather changes or stress — skin becomes uncomfortable, reactive and easily irritated. This routine uses ultra-gentle, fragrance-free, skin-repairing Korean formulas to restore comfort, strengthen your barrier and help your skin feel normal again.

Barrier repair doesn’t need actives or exfoliants — it needs hydration, soothing and protection.
This routine delivers exactly that.

WHAT’S INSIDE

1. Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Deep Cleansing Oil (Unscented) — 150 ml

Fragrance-free, essential-oil-free oil cleanser that melts SPF + makeup without irritation.

WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED (AND WHY)

No exfoliants, scrubs, retinoids, vitamin C or chemical SPF.

When the barrier is compromised, active ingredients can worsen irritation.
This routine is a rest period — a calming reset.

After your barrier is healthy again, you can slowly reintroduce your actives or move on to our Glass Skin or Brightening sets.

FAQ

Will this help if my skin feels tight and uncomfortable?
Yes — that’s exactly what this routine is built for. Dokdo + Centella + Snail + Manyo work together to restore comfort.

Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. Everything is fragrance-free, essential-oil-free and low-irritant.

How long will it take to see results?
Most people notice relief in 1–3 days, smoother texture in 5–7 days, and barrier recovery within 2–4 weeks.

Can I use this with tret or retinoids?
Yes — but reduce usage temporarily while you heal your barrier.

Do I need both Centella and Snail?
Yes. Centella soothes. Snail repairs. Together they’re the classic Korean “SOS repair duo.”

Why Relief Sun and not Water-Fit SPF?
Because Relief Sun is gentler and less likely to irritate a weakened barrier.
