IMAGE Skincare MD Barrier Repair Recovery Balm is a silky, semi-occlusive barrier balm from IMAGE's physician-strength MD range, created for sensitive, extra-dry skin and for comforting skin after professional in-clinic treatments. Biomimetic lipids, beta glucan and colloidal oatmeal replenish the moisture barrier, while a triple-action hydration system helps reduce moisture loss, leaving skin feeling soft, calm and comfortable. For a ceramide barrier balm that soothes the look of redness morning and night, IMAGE Skincare MD Barrier Repair Recovery Balm is a considered choice.

At its heart is IMAGE's patent-pending XOSM™ Technology, which smart-encapsulates the antioxidants ectoin, vitamin C and astaxanthin-rich micro-algae to nourish the moisture barrier and help defend against external stressors. An NMF Reinforcing Complex of biomimetic ceramides, phytosterols and stearic fatty acid mirrors skin's own lipid make-up, while bisabolol, sea buckthorn oil, safflower oil and shea butter lock in moisture. IMAGE reports the balm was clinically shown to improve skin barrier function within 7 days following aesthetic procedures.

FAQS

What is IMAGE Skincare MD Barrier Repair Recovery Balm used for? +

IMAGE Skincare MD Barrier Repair Recovery Balm is a rich, fragrance-free barrier balm for sensitive, extra-dry skin prone to visible redness. It can be used every day, and IMAGE also designed it to comfort skin after non-ablative professional treatments.

Can I use this balm after microneedling or laser treatments? +

IMAGE formulated it for skin after non-ablative in-clinic treatments such as microneedling, and reports it was clinically shown to improve skin barrier function within 7 days following aesthetic procedures. Always follow your own practitioner's aftercare advice first, and ask them when to start applying it.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin prone to redness? +

Yes. It is fragrance free, non-comedogenic and formulated with bisabolol, colloidal oatmeal and beta glucan to soothe skin and visibly reduce the look of redness. As with any new product, patch test first if your skin is very reactive.

Is this a good balm for very dry skin? +

Yes. The NMF Reinforcing Complex of ceramides, phytosterols and fatty acids, plus shea butter and a triple-action hydration system, helps restore hydration to extra-dry and dehydrated skin while reducing moisture loss.

Will it clog my pores? +

IMAGE describes the formula as non-comedogenic. It is also free from petrolatum and mineral oil, so it feels cushioning without being greasy.

How much should I use? +

For daily use, a 20p-sized amount morning and evening is plenty. After a professional treatment, apply a more generous layer where skin feels delicate and reapply as needed, following your practitioner's guidance.

Can I wear SPF and make-up over it? +

Yes. Allow it to settle for a few minutes, then follow with your SPF in the morning. Make-up can be applied on top once the balm has absorbed.

What is XOSM Technology? +

XOSM™ is IMAGE's patent-pending smart-encapsulation technology. It carries the antioxidants ectoin, vitamin C and astaxanthin-rich micro-algae to protect and nourish the skin's barrier.

Can I use IMAGE Skincare MD Barrier Repair Recovery Balm during pregnancy or while breastfeeding? +

The formula contains no retinoids or salicylic acid. IMAGE does not publish specific pregnancy guidance, so please check with your GP or midwife before using it while pregnant or breastfeeding.
