Cynic The Simple Barrier Cream 40ml

A weakly acidic barrier cream for sensitive, reactive skin

A pH 5.5 weakly acidic cream that comforts irritated skin with a gentle touch. Formulated to mirror the natural pH of healthy skin, it helps protect the skin barrier while delivering a surge of hydration. The soft, melt-in texture glides on seamlessly without feeling heavy, leaving behind a lightweight moisture veil that feels fresh and breathable.

Soothing care with madecassoside and water lily extract

Powered by madecassoside to help calm stressed skin and white water lily extract to boost hydration. Macadamia seed oil and aloe vera leaf juice join in to soften, protect, and lock in moisture. The formula is intentionally simple—only the essentials—to minimize the load on your skin.

Perfect for

• Combination skin that's oily on the surface but dehydrated underneath
• Moments when your skin feels sensitized and needs calming
• Anyone looking for a cream that's lightweight and fresh yet deeply hydrating
• Those struggling with makeup that lifts or looks flaky throughout the day

Apply an appropriate amount as the final step of your skincare routine, smoothing it gently over the entire face. For areas that feel especially dry, reapply throughout the day to layer on extra moisture and keep skin comfortably hydrated.

Final step in your skincare routine: the cream phase

This is a deeply hydrating cream designed to be used as the last step after toner and essence have delivered their moisture. It forms a protective layer that locks in all the active ingredients you've applied before. If you've used a serum or ampoule, wait until it's fully absorbed, then seal everything in with this cream.

Morning and evening use

Formulated at a skin-friendly pH 5.5, it's gentle enough for daily use, both morning and night. In the morning, use it as a hydrating base before makeup. In the evening, let it wrap tired skin in comfort as a nourishing night cream.

Dispense and smooth on gently

Take a small amount on your fingertips and dot it onto your forehead, both cheeks, nose, and chin. Gently smooth outward from the center of your face for seamless adherence and a lightweight finish. For areas that feel particularly dry, reapply as needed throughout the day to maintain hydration.

Recommended pairings by skin concern

• Combination skin with inner dryness: Layer a lightweight hydrating toner several times, then finish with this cream to deliver deep moisture without any greasy feel
• Sensitized skin: Pair with a calming essence so the madecassoside (soothing) and water lily extract (hydration) can work together to comfort your skin
• Makeup that lifts or separates: Apply a thin layer before makeup and allow it to fully absorb. Then apply your base for improved adherence and a smoother finish
