Ingredients Explained

Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.

Here's what our community thinks
ISANA Calming Barrier Serum 24 ingredients
This one works well for soothing skin and repairing barrier. I mainly used it on my exfoliation and retinol nights, and sometimes after niacinamide in the morning. It's pink colored, a bit thick, and has an interesting scent.
I love this product! It soothing, hydrating and keeps my skin barrier intact. However it does unfortunely pill, so just use it in the evening and it has a smell, which probably isn't for everyone.

It helped repair my broken skin barrier.
Feels nice on skin and helps with skin barrier. Has a faint smell which I find unpleasant. Also it's not fungal acne safe if that's important to you.
