Read what Mumsnet users thought of The Nue Co.’s BARRIER CULTURE range

[BellaMumsnet]

This is the feedback thread for the 120 Mumsnet users who have been testing The Nue Co.’s BARRIER CULTURE range. BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER is designed to clean the skin without stripping it or disrupting your skin's pH, and BARRIER CULTURE MOISTURISER is designed to hydrate and repair, protect against pollution, and lock in moisture.

Here’s what Jules Miller, Founder and CEO of The Nue Co. has to say:

“When thinking about health holistically, we know that a preventative approach works far better than a reactionary one — this is true for our skin health, just as much as it is for our gut and environmental health. Our topical microbiome is just as important as our internal microbiome. In fact, it’s estimated that 21% of our microbiome lives on our skin whereas around 26% lives in our gut. To care about your microbiome, is to care about your skin.”

Selected testers were sent one 120ml BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and one 50ml BARRIER CULTURE MOISTURISER to use everyday for two weeks.

1. How did you find the texture and application of the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER?

Nice easy to apply texture and the pump meant nothing was wasted
I am not keen on gel cleansers so unfortunately it's not my fave but I suspect I will enjoy it a lot in summer as it's refreshing!
I do have v dry skin so would have liked a richer moisturiser but it went great with a serum under it

2. Has using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER improved your overall skin condition? How quickly did you notice an improvement?

It seems less irritated and red straight away

3. How does your skin feel after using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER? Does it feel more hydrated, or less reactive and sensitive? Did you see a reduction in skin outbreaks?

More hydrated, and despite having hormonal acne I had no breakouts while using it

4. Would you recommend using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER to a friend and why?

Yes. I think it's simple skincare with great ingredients and would be fantastic for someone with sensitive skin as a sort of starter set
The packaging is very luxurious too
I am going to have a look at their other products

Thanks for letting me test!

1. How did you find the texture and application of the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER?
   I loved the texture of the cleanser it felt really light, and really made my skin feel clean. The moisturiser was great but I did need to add another layer, or an oil at night to provide a deeper moisturiser.

2. Has using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER improved your overall skin condition? How quickly did you notice an improvement?
   My skin approved within days, I had less and less white heads over the first week.

3. How does your skin feel after using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER? Does it feel more hydrated, or less reactive and sensitive? Did you see a reduction in skin outbreaks?

It practically cured my rosecea and has really helped the texture of my skin. I absolutely love it. I did need to double moisturise at times as my Skin is extra dry.

4. Would you recommend using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER to a friend and why? I don't think I could recommend these products to anyone in my life due to the price.

How did you find the texture and application of the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER?

Nice texture to them both. Easy to apply. I didnt think the cleanser foamed much but that was not a problem it still goes on nicely. Moisturiser sank in quickly and was non greasy.

2. Has using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER improved your overall skin condition? How quickly did you notice an improvement?
   No I dont believe there is any difference.

3. How does your skin feel after using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER? Does it feel more hydrated, or less reactive and sensitive? Did you see a reduction in skin outbreaks?

Skin felt nicely smooth to the touch and not left greasy However shortly after applying my face was feeling a little tight. I felt like I needed to add more moisturiser.

4. Would you recommend using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER to a friend and why?

If I had a friend looking for something at this price point I would certainly recomend the cleanser; i'm ambivalent about the moisturiser - would probably suit someone who doesnt have my dry skin

1. How did you find the texture and application of the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER?

It was very light and easy to rub in. It absorbed easily.

2. Has using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER improved your overall skin condition? How quickly did you notice an improvement?

I have generally have good skin. My skin is combination skin though I get dry patches and some oily patches and I feel like this has improved greatly, my skin feels less dry and less greasy! My pores look smaller and the overall texture of my skin feels smoother.

3. How does your skin feel after using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER? Does it feel more hydrated, or less reactive and sensitive? Did you see a reduction in skin outbreaks?

My skin feels really hydrated after use, especially after using the cleanser. My skin felt really healthy and smooth. I generally don't get spots and I didn't get any whilst using the products I think the redness I get around my nose has improved.

4. Would you recommend using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER to a friend and why?

Yes, I definitely saw an improvement to my skin straightaway and I think the fact that they aren't scented is great as I think Eben those with sensitive skin would be able to use them.

1. How did you find the texture and application of the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER?
   The gel cleanser was nice, foamed gently and didn't need much to do my whole face and neck.
   The moisturiser wasn't too thick and again, didn't need a lot - it spread easily but also absorbed quickly.
   I do find it slightly annoying when a product has a pump dispenser but recommends using 2-3 pumps, why not put it in a dispenser that dispenses the right amount in 1 pump? I understand this could just be my little irrational annoyance though.

2. Has using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER improved your overall skin condition? How quickly did you notice an improvement?
   Although they were nice, I can't say I noticed any difference from using my normal moisturiser.

3. How does your skin feel after using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER? Does it feel more hydrated, or less reactive and sensitive? Did you see a reduction in skin outbreaks?
   The cleanser wasn't drying which was good. My skin did feel soft after using the moisturiser but as I said, I didn't notice any major difference compared to other moisturisers.

4. Would you recommend using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER to a friend and why?
   No, sorry, I really wouldn't. Although they were nice and I do like them, I couldn't notice any difference in my skin compared to my usual, much cheaper, moisturiser, so couldn't recommend it at that price.

Although the packaging was lovely and seems quite luxurious, it doesn't seem very eco. Although recyclable, does it need to be in a substantial glass bottle as well as a substantial cardboard box? Seems a bit unnecessary.

Thanks for letting me test this :)

1. How did you find the texture and application of the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER?

I didn't really like the texture of the cleanser. I can't put my finger on why not though. Maybe it's just not what I'm used to? It felt somehow gloopy maybe. However, the pump was great, though I needed to use less than recommended.
The moisturiser was really perfect for me in terms of texture - light, unperfumed and glided on beautifully. Again, the pump is fab and I needed less product than stated.

2. Has using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER improved your overall skin condition? How quickly did you notice an improvement?

My skin just felt smoother pretty much straight away - friends commented on how youthful my skin looks - I'm 51 (though I think I def look it!)

3. How does your skin feel after using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER? Does it feel more hydrated, or less reactive and sensitive? Did you see a reduction in skin outbreaks?

I'm menopausal and had started experiencing some dry/tight feelings for the first time ever after a lifetime of oily skin - I felt really comfortably hydrated.

4. Would you recommend using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER to a friend and why?

I probably would recommend - though I feel like it's more expensive than it should be. I use plenty of premium products but I don't think I'd be happy to pay the RRP on these, I'd be looking for offers (in which case I would probably purchase)

1) How did you find the texture and application of the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER?
Very silky and light. Both went on very easily. The cleanser foamed well and washed off well. The moisturiser sank in very easily. I needed more squirts of moisturiser than cleanser during every application, though, and therefore couldn't work out why the cleanser bottle is more than twice as big as the moisturiser bottle?

2) Has using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER improved your overall skin condition? How quickly did you notice an improvement?
Yes. From the very first application my skin felt softer and less tight.

3) How does your skin feel after using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER? Does it feel more hydrated, or less reactive and sensitive? Did you see a reduction in skin outbreaks?
It feels more hydrated and softer. I didn't really have skin outbreaks or much redness beforehand, but it definitely feels more comfortable and less tight.

4) Would you recommend using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER to a friend and why?
I'm not sure. I think I probably would, because they are lovely products and beautifully packaged, but are so so expensive. I've always been incredibly lazy with my skincare so am not totally up to date on what skin products should cost, but I'm not convinced that they are worth paying this luxury price point for.

Thank you for letting me test these lovely products. My skin is extremely grateful!

1. How did you find the texture and application of the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER?
   The cleanser is gel like in consistency and foamed up when applied to damp skin, really easy to use and gave a fresh cleansed effect after rinsing off.
   The moisturiser went on nicely, not greasy or shiney at all but sadly not very moisturising for my aged skin, think i need more.

2. Has using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER improved your overall skin condition? How quickly did you notice an improvement?
   I think the cleanser has worked well, my skin feels calmer. I have used it for two weeks

3. How does your skin feel after using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER? Does it feel more hydrated, or less reactive and sensitive? Did you see a reduction in skin outbreaks?
   Certainly feels clean, less redness, but not as hydrated as i hoped.

4. Would you recommend using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER to a friend and why?
   I would say the cleanser is lovely and would recommend that, i would recommend the moisturiser for younger skin however it is very pricey in my opinion so thank you for the opportunity to try top end product.

1. How did you find the texture and application of the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER?

I really liked the texture of the cleanser and found I didn't need to use too much of it. It didn't leave a residue. The pump on the moisturiser didn't work so that was harder to use! The texture of the moisturiser was nice and light and non greasy. It soaked in well.

2. Has using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER improved your overall skin condition? How quickly did you notice an improvement?

I think it has helped my skin in as far as it is slightly less dry, not as red and I have had slightly less break outs on my chin which can be a problem area.

3. How does your skin feel after using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER? Does it feel more hydrated, or less reactive and sensitive? Did you see a reduction in skin outbreaks?

It felt lovely after using the products. No tightness and dryness after cleansing which can occur with some products. Slightly less break outs.

4. Would you recommend using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER to a friend and why?

I would recommend as I loved the packaging - simple and classic looking and the products. I particularly liked the cleanser and it did help my skin feel and look better. The moisturiser was nice and soaked in well without being greasy. Personally I would prefer a richer moisturiser as my skin is extremely dry but for someone with less dry skin I would recommend the moisturiser too.

1. How did you find the texture and application of the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER?

I loved the cleanser, I've never used anything with this kind of gel/ cream texture, and it leaves my skin SO soft. The sort of soft you want to touch. I use it as a second cleanse in the evening as it doesn't remove eye makeup well, but actually look forward to using it.

The moisturizer is OK, nothing special but nice. Very soothing and calming.

2. Has using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER improved your overall skin condition? How quickly did you notice an improvement?

My skin is calmer, softer and less aggravated. I've had no breakouts on my chin. Whilst my rosacea isn't massively improved, it is better than it was. I noticed an improvement within a couple of weeks.

3. How does your skin feel after using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER? Does it feel more hydrated, or less reactive and sensitive? Did you see a reduction in skin outbreaks?

More hydrated, less irritated and much softer.

4. Would you recommend using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER to a friend and why?

I would, I think for a gift they'd feel incredibly luxe, and I think if your skin is sensitive and reactive like mine, then they are fantastic. I wish the cleanser wasn't so expensive as I'd happily repurchase over and over

1. How did you find the texture and application of the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER?
   I love the cleanser, I liked the gel to foam texture and the fact that it wasn’t too harsh and left my skin feeling comfortable. The moisturiser was light in texture and easy to apply. I found I needed more than the recommended pumps as I have very dry skin and it didn’t leave me feeling hydrated, I needed an oil as well to help me feel comfortable.

2. Has using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER improved your overall skin condition? How quickly did you notice an improvement? Yes, it feels slightly less flaky and dry than before. I’ve been using it for about two weeks now.

3. How does your skin feel after using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER? Does it feel more hydrated, or less reactive and sensitive? Did you see a reduction in skin outbreaks?
   The cleanser is great, very comfortable and has made my skin feel less sensitive which is rare in a cleanser. I can’t say I was as impressed with the moisturiser although it is pleasant, this may be because I’ve got exceptionally dry skin and so needed extra products to add into the routine to keep my skin feeling comfortable.

4. Would you recommend using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER to a friend and why?

Yes I’d recommend it. I think the moisturiser would work well for most skin types, I thought the cleanser was great, and the packaging is luxe and substantial.

1. How did you find the texture and application of the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER?

Gorgeous texture for both. Loved the pump application, made it so easy to use.

2. Has using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER improved your overall skin condition? How quickly did you notice an improvement?

It has slightly, my skin feels soft and smooth and feels really refreshed after using them.

3. How does your skin feel after using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER? Does it feel more hydrated, or less reactive and sensitive? Did you see a reduction in skin outbreaks?

Definitely feels more hydrated and feels so smooth.

4. Would you recommend using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER to a friend and why?

Yes 100% they are really great products. The bottles look really high end and the results were amazing.

1. How did you find the texture and application of the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER?
   The cleanser has a different texture to the foam I usually use. It’s slippery and quite unusual but pleasant to use. The cream has a lovely texture, sinks in easily. I have dry and dehydrated skin and it was quite soothing.

2. Has using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER improved your overall skin condition? How quickly did you notice an improvement?
   I had a bad reaction after a few uses, not sure which of the two products caused it. I got a sore, sensitive rash and breakout which went once I stopped using them.

3. How does your skin feel after using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER? Does it feel more hydrated, or less reactive and sensitive? Did you see a reduction in skin outbreaks?
   My skin was unfortunately much more reactive which was really disappointing! I was really optimistic about these products but something in them upset my skin so I had to stop using them.

4. Would you recommend using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER to a friend and why?
   Hmmm. They’re not for me but there are lovely things about the range and I’d suggest a friend tried them if they had the budget - they’re very pricey - and liked new products.

1. How did you find the texture and application of the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER?
   I liked the texture and application, I'm used to a gel like moisturiser but this one definitely made my skin feel softer. Easy to use but did struggle a bit with removing eye make up

2. Has using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER improved your overall skin condition? How quickly did you notice an improvement?
   My forehead is less greasy and overall my skin feels softer. I get redness on one cheek and it seems a little less obvious than before.

3. How does your skin feel after using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER? Does it feel more hydrated, or less reactive and sensitive? Did you see a reduction in skin outbreaks?
   Definitely more hydrated as my skin feels soft and plumper. No outbreaks, but don't get many anyway. I have sensitive skin and this has not caused any problems at all

4. Would you recommend using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER to a friend and why?
   I would but it is pricey, I do love the glass bottles and design which gives it a luxury feel. May be tempted to purchase the moisturiser in the future.

1. How did you find the texture and application of the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER?
   Very good texture for both, cleanser neither too slippy/oily nor too foamy, perfect gentle balance. Moisturiser nourishing without being greasy

2. Has using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER improved your overall skin condition? How quickly did you notice an improvement?
   Yes I think so, dryness and sensitivity has reduced and skin texture is more even. I started to notice after about 2 weeks

3. How does your skin feel after using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER? Does it feel more hydrated, or less reactive and sensitive? Did you see a reduction in skin outbreaks?
   It definitely feels softer, smoother, and less reactive. Breakouts have reduced.

4. Would you recommend using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER to a friend and why?
   Yes I absolutely would, especially my friends who struggle to find good skincare that doesn't make them flare up as it manages to be bith effective and gentle at the same time

1) How did you find the texture and application of the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER?

I really liked the texture of both and the applicator made me realise how much I'd been over applying other moisturisers. I liked the feeling of both on my skin.

2) Has using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER improved your overall skin condition? How quickly did you notice an improvement?

My skin does feel a bit better, I have been using it for less than a fortnight and it feels softer and I have less redness. I work outside and my skin gets quite a battering, especially recently with the crazy weather and it seems to be surviving well using this cream.

3) How does your skin feel after using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER? Does it feel more hydrated, or less reactive and sensitive? Did you see a reduction in skin outbreaks?

As my previous answer my skin is definitely less reactive and sensitive.

4) Would you recommend using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER to a friend and why?

I would as I am impressed with the way my skin is now after using it for less than two weeks. The bottles look really nice too.

Thanks for letting me test them.

1. How did you find the texture and application of the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER?
   I loved the cleanser and the way it felt (both to apply and on the skin). I like pump dispensers as they feel very hygienic.

2. Has using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER improved your overall skin condition? How quickly did you notice an improvement?
   I feel the cleanser has worked really well - I really love it. However, I have had to apply extra moisturiser on top of the moisturiser and my skin still felt dry afterwards. I noticed my skin felt softer after about 10 days.

3. How does your skin feel after using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER? Does it feel more hydrated, or less reactive and sensitive? Did you see a reduction in skin outbreaks?

Less reactive and sensitive, and more hydrated (but I was adding additional moisturiser). My skin has settled down and feels smoother.

4. Would you recommend using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER to a friend and why?

Yes definitely. I really really love the cleanser. If there was an intense version of the moisturiser for dry skin I would like to try that. I would heartily recommend both as I think that the moisturiser would be great for less dry skin.

1. How did you find the texture and application of the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER?

The texture of both products was nice. The cleanser lathered up nicely and the moisturiser wasn't greasy and soaked into my skin well. I never really paid much attention to it previously but I've noticed most of my current products are scented and these aren't at all which I actually liked about them! It made it seems like there wasn't any unnecessary extras as such!

2. Has using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER improved your overall skin condition? How quickly did you notice an improvement?

I have been using the products daily and will continue to do so because as yet I am not noticing much improvement I have actually had a few breakouts which I can only presume is from the change of products. This is clearing up now. I would say if anything my forehead does seem much less oily than usual.

3. How does your skin feel after using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER? Does it feel more hydrated, or less reactive and sensitive? Did you see a reduction in skin outbreaks?

My skin felt nice immediately after application and very clean. I still felt the need to use my usual serum after the moisturiser though and I did get more spots than usual at first. Over all the feel of my skin is not any different to when I started. However it does seem less oily.

4. Would you recommend using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER to a friend and why?

Yes I would. Even though I haven't noticed massive differences personally you can still tell it is a quality product. The packaging was lovely (both the bottles and the boxes) and I have happily got the products out in the bathroom on display.

1) How did you find the texture and application of the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER?
I liked that it told you how many pumps to use. Then the cleanser foamed really nicely, not too much foam but enough to know it had been evenly applied. The moisturiser was the right texture as in it wasn’t too thick or too thin. It sunk it really well, although it sometimes felt a little sticky on my hands.

2) Has using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER improved your overall skin condition? How quickly did you notice an improvement?
I think so. I haven’t had any outbreaks from mask wearing. It took about a week to really notice a difference.

3) How does your skin feel after using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER? Does it feel more hydrated, or less reactive and sensitive? Did you see a reduction in skin outbreaks?
It didn’t have that drying effect that some products can have. I haven’t had any drying around my eyes which I can sometimes get.

4) Would you recommend using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER to a friend and why?
Yes as it was a really easy routine to incorporate and many of my friends are now looking for a routine for their facial skin care.

I'm now wondering if I have weird skin as everyone else is talking about foam or lather with the cleanser whereas I had neither!

1. How did you find the texture and application of the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER?

It felt nice and easy to apply

2. Has using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER improved your overall skin condition? How quickly did you notice an improvement?

Not at all. In fact it made it very dry. I need thicker creams and cleansers. This product is not for me.

3. How does your skin feel after using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER? Does it feel more hydrated, or less reactive and sensitive? Did you see a reduction in skin outbreaks?

It felt very dry, as though I hadn’t applied any moisturiser at al.

4. Would you recommend using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER to a friend and why?

The overall feel of the product is nice, so I would talk about it, but I would also express my concerns.

1) How did you find the texture and application of the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER?

I really loved the texture and the application. The moisturiser especially sinks in beautifully.

2) Has using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER improved your overall skin condition? How quickly did you notice an improvement?

No unfortunately as I had to stop using them. My skin is ultra sensitive and it was starting to feel a bit irritated. I used the moisturiser again to give it another chance and had a sore face all day.

3) How does your skin feel after using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER? Does it feel more hydrated, or less reactive and sensitive? Did you see a reduction in skin outbreaks?

Definitely more hydrated- the moisturiser is a stand out product in texture and application but I don’t feel I used the products for long enough to see a difference or to give a completely fair review.
Once it started to feel sore I was worried it would become more inflamed so I had to stop.

4) Would you recommend using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER to a friend and why?

Yes although the products didn’t necessarily agree with my skin, for most people they would be fab and they are so nice to use and they feel luxurious and high end. Everything about the description of the products would make me want to buy them as them seem perfect for my skin type and it’s a shame I couldn’t continue but it’s really trial and error with sensitive, reactive skin.

I loved the texture of these and application was very easy to fit in with other things I use. Loved the bottles and the fact that only a little comes out at a time so you can use how much you want to.

My skin has definitely improved. I have the filaments on my nose and now in the mornings before I use the products my nose is dry and not oily. I have less whiteheads and my skin is neither dry nor oily now.

I’ve noticed less breakouts and I loved the cleanser - my skin felt refreshed after using it and very soft.

I don’t think the moisturizer is heavy enough for me as it seemed to just sink into my skin and I had to apply a different moisturizer at night.

I would definitely recommend these products to friends, I have a few my age who complain about other products and I think it is worth them trying this. Definitely makes you feel special.

I would like to keep using the cleanser and see what other moisturizer would work with me.

1. How did you find the texture and application of the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER?

The texture and application of both products was great. The recommended number of pumps was adequate and the products lathered up nicely and cream spread nicely too.

2. Has using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER improved your overall skin condition? How quickly did you notice an improvement?

I didn't notice any positive improvement in my skin. In fact I stopped using it after two weeks as my makeup was settling weirdly into my pores.

3. How does your skin feel after using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER? Does it feel more hydrated, or less reactive and sensitive? Did you see a reduction in skin outbreaks?

My skin was exactly the same except for makeup was no longer staying on my skin as usual.

4. Would you recommend using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER to a friend and why? I would tell them about my personal experience but also the other positive reviews so to make up their own mind about buying it

1) How did you find the texture and application of the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER?

The pump action from the bottles made both the cleanser and moisturiser extremely easy to dispense at just the required amount. Both absorb easily into the skin and they are both light and not at all greasy. The cleanser was very refreshing on application.

2) Has using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER improved your overall skin condition? How quickly did you notice an improvement?

For the most part my skin remained the same after using the barrier culture cleanser and moisturiser as it did when using my previous product. There was a slight improvement on the lower part of my face which had been affected by wearing a mask at work for hours on end.

3) How does your skin feel after using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER? Does it feel more hydrated, or less reactive and sensitive? Did you see a reduction in skin outbreaks?

My skin remained as hydrated and soft as it did when I used my previous cleanser and moisturiser though there was a reduction in outbreaks where I wear my face mask at work.

4) Would you recommend using the BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER and MOISTURISER to a friend and why?

As a cleanser and moisturiser they definitely hydrate the skin and reduce outbreaks from wearing a face mask.
