The Barrier Repair Edit

The Barrier Repair Edit includes full sizes of Shiso Balm and Omega Shiso, alongside travel sizes of Power D and Emulsion D. Together for 40% off.
All skins can benefit from supporting and strengthening the skin barrier. Like a shield for your skin from the outside, the skin barrier protects our skin from environmental aggressors.
“The skin barrier function is extremely important for the health of our skin and therefore it is extremely important to maintain and reinforce the skin barrier, because the skin barrier is actually our first contact with the environment” Dr. Lens says.
A weak or compromised barrier means skin is more prone to damage such as sensitivity, redness and dryness. Whereas when skin is strong, it appears more plump, smooth and radiant.
Dr. Lens talks us through the Edit, why he selected each product and how to use each one for the ultimate barrier repairing routine.
Step 1: Shiso Balm
“The first product always to think about is the skin cleanser. If we are using harsh cleansers that are removing essential lipids, then we are damaging our barrier function.
“Shiso Balm contains high amount of shiso oil and it helps remove all impurities and dirt, while at the same time replenish the lipids to our skin. Which essentially helps us to reinforce and strengthen the skin barrier” -Dr. Marko Lens.
Shiso Balm is a moisturising daily cleanser, formulated to gently cleanse and remove all make-up. Applied as a balm but transforming into a milk when mixed with water, Shiso Balm helps purify the skin without stealing away natural moisture. Leaving skin radiant and smooth.
How to use: massage 1-2 pumps into dry skin then mix with water on the face before rinsing off.
Step 2: Power D
“Power D is featuring provitamin D and many other important biomimetic lipids that strengthen and reinforce the barrier function.”- Dr. Marko Lens.
Power D is a high potency provitamin D3 concentrate that not only strengthens skin’s barrier function but builds resilience and protects the skin against external factors and stress. Instantly hydrating skin while leaving it supple, plumper and healthy looking.
How to use: apply 2-3 pumps to face, neck and décolleté.
Step 3: Omega Shiso
“The replenishing properties of Omega Shiso come from the Shiso oil extract which is rich in omega 3-6-9. Helping to restore the skin’s natural barrier, Omega Shiso is the perfect serum to use alongside Power D.”- Dr. Marko Lens.
Formulated with our exclusive Omega Shiso Phytocomplex containing enzymatically activated shiso oil, Omega Shiso provides instant moisture, revives skin comfort and restore a strong barrier. Promoting elasticity while leaving skin feeling soft, supple and soothed.
Created to be used alongside Power D, together they make a powerful combination for skin that needs repairing and restoring. For healthy skin that is strong and protected.
How to use: apply 2-3 pumps to face, neck and décolleté.
Step 4: Emulsion D
“I would recommend Emulsion D, which is an excellent moisturiser featuring provitamin D and many other biomimetic lipids that strengthen and replenish the barrier.” Dr. Marko Lens.
Emulsion D is a lightweight moisturiser that helps soothe and calm the skin. Providing all-day hydration while shielding the skin from environmental aggressors. Featuring ceramides, prebiotics, and probiotics to enhance moisture, condition and enhance skin’s recovery. Plus shiso and vitamin E for antioxidant properties.
