What is EltaMD Barrier Renewal Complex?
EltaMD Barrier Renewal Complex is an advanced moisturizer for dry, compromised and mature skin. Its ceramides and other essential lipids help strengthen the skin barrier and restore its natural hydration, peptides help smooth the look of fine lines, and enzymes and vitamins support gentle exfoliation and minimize the appearance of redness. In an EltaMD clinical study, expert assessment found skin moisturized and visibly improved within 24 hours of one application. It is fragrance-free, paraben-free, dye-free and non-comedogenic. Apply it morning and night to face, neck and chest. Available at SkinCrew in 1.7 oz ($67).
Sourced direct from EltaMD: guaranteed authentic, batch-fresh, fast US shipping.
The problem
Dry, compromised skin rarely shows just one sign. It feels tight and rough, fine lines look deeper, pores and redness are more visible, and a plain moisturizer only helps for a few hours. People with sensitive, dry or mature skin often end up layering separate products for hydration, texture and lines, which can be too much for skin that is already stressed.
Barrier support and visible smoothing in one cream.
Barrier Renewal Complex combines five ceramides and cholesterol with niacinamide, squalane and hyaluronic acid to support the barrier and hydration, then adds peptides plus bromelain, ficin and kiwi extract for gentle exfoliation. EltaMD reports visible improvements in fine lines, elasticity, texture, tone and pore size, with skin looking softer and smoother within 21 days.

EltaMD Barrier Renewal Complex: a ceramide and peptide moisturizer for dry, compromised skin
EltaMD Barrier Renewal Complex is an advanced EltaMD moisturizer for dry, compromised and mature skin. It pairs a barrier lipid system of five ceramides and cholesterol with peptides and a trio of fruit enzymes, so one cream hydrates, comforts and visibly improves fine lines, elasticity, texture, tone and the look of pores.
In an EltaMD clinical study, expert assessment found that a single application moisturized and visibly improved dry, compromised skin within 24 hours, and EltaMD reports skin looks softer and smoother within 21 days. The formula is fragrance-free, paraben-free, dye-free and non-comedogenic, and EltaMD recommends following it with sunscreen in the daytime. Available at SkinCrew, an Authorized EltaMD US Retailer, with fast US shipping.

Why Barrier Renewal Complex Stands Out
- Five ceramides plus cholesterol. Ceramide NP, EOS, NS, EOP and AP, with cholesterol, help strengthen the skin barrier and restore its natural hydration.
- Peptides for fine lines. EltaMD includes peptides to help smooth the look of fine lines and improve elasticity.
- Enzymes for gentle exfoliation. Bromelain, ficin and kiwi fruit extract support gentle exfoliation, which helps refine texture, tone and the look of pores.
- Results within 24 hours. In an EltaMD clinical study, expert assessment found dry, compromised skin moisturized and visibly improved within 24 hours of one application.
