Key ingredients
Ceramide Complex
The core of the formula. Ceramides are the barrier's own lipids - replacing them is what a repair cream is actually for.
Supporting Lipids
Four of them alongside the ceramides. A barrier is a lipid matrix, not a single ingredient, which is why the blend matters.
Seven Botanicals
The soothing half, addressing the reactivity that always accompanies a compromised barrier.
Care & Use
How to Use
As the final step morning and night, warm a pea-sized amount and press over the face, layering on the driest areas.

About the product
Dr.Althea's 147 Barrier Cream is the repair counterpart to the 345 Relief Cream, and the numbers again describe the structure: one core ceramide complex, four supporting lipids, seven soothing botanicals.
That lipid focus is what makes it a genuine barrier product rather than a moisturiser with ceramides named on the front. The skin barrier is a matrix of several lipid types, not a single ingredient - which is why a ceramide complex plus four supporting lipids does more than a higher dose of ceramides alone.
The seven botanicals handle the other half of the problem. A compromised barrier does not only lose water; it stops keeping irritants out, which is why skin that flakes also stings. Treating only the dryness leaves that untreated.
The texture is richer than the 345 and fragrance-free throughout.
Use as the final step during a barrier-repair stretch - typically a fortnight of cleanser, this, and sunscreen while skin recovers. Reintroduce actives one at a time afterwards, a week apart.
Why we stock it
The barrier specialist next to the 345's daily calming. One core ceramide complex with four supporting lipids is a proper barrier formula rather than a moisturiser with ceramides mentioned on the front.

One, four, seven.
A core ceramide complex, four supporting lipids, seven soothing botanicals. The naming convention tells you the structure before you read the list. This is the barrier specialist - for skin that has stopped tolerating things it used to.
- Lipid-focused
- Fragrance-free
- Repair stretch
How it feels
Richer than the 345 - a proper barrier cream that sits briefly before absorbing, leaving skin comfortable rather than coated.
Frequently asked questions
Should I buy this or the 345?
The 147 if your barrier is damaged - skin stinging at products it used to tolerate, flaking, reacting. The 345 if you want a daily calming cream with a blemish-care element.
How long should I use it before adding actives back?
About two weeks of cleanser, this and sunscreen for most people, then reintroduce one active at a time with a week between each.
Is it too rich for oily skin?
It is richer than the 345. Oily skin in a repair stretch usually manages it at night, with something lighter in the morning.
What actually damages a skin barrier?
Most often too many actives introduced too fast, over-cleansing, or over-exfoliating. Climate and air-conditioning make it worse but are rarely the sole cause.
