Defenage 24/7 Barrier Balance Cream is a lightweight, multitasking cream.
Actives:
- bio-synthesised defensins, identical with human ones. In short, defensins are present in our skin naturally – they induce skin’s regenerative processes, take part in immunological responses and wound healing. Their concentration decreases in atopic skin diseases. They are not in the same family as growth factors. They also have promising double blind studies demonstrating their efficacy (see HERE). You can use them with any other actives, they haven’t been observed to be skin irritants.
- Niacinamide
- Liposomal hyaluronic acid
- Botanical extracts
On application:
Two pumps on the face are enough, and much like with retinoids less is more. Very easy to spread, and this thin, undetectable layer can be enough for most skins, except very dry (I have to layer a thicker moisturiser over it). Fragrance free. The 45 ml packaging lasts for months.
My thoughts:
I’ve purchased this in a set with the serum (sets are cheaper than buying products separately), but I’ve found it to be a standout. Can be a one-and-done step for lazy days/people – it has well-aging defensins, antioxidants and barrier + hydration care ingredients. Defensins have become another pillar of my well-aging routines with retinoids and growth factors. I’ve used this mainly under the Defence Bioserum.
For you, if: you’re looking for a well-aging cream that’s multitasking.
Not for you, if: you need a more substantial, thick cream.
