Allergan Aesthetics launches Barrier Calming Cream and HA5® Hydra Collagen Facial Mist

In a move to address the growing concern over skin barrier health, Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company, has introduced Barrier Calming Cream and HA5® Hydra Collagen Facial Mist to its portfolio of skincare products. These additions come as skincare consumers in the U.S. increasingly prioritize the protection of their skin barrier.

The Barrier Calming Cream, which is designed to soothe and support the delicate skin barrier, has shown promising results in clinical testing. According to the company, the cream improved skin barrier support by 30% and reduced skin dryness by 30% after just two weeks of use. This product is powered by Calcium Strengthening Complex and Botanical Calming Complex, which together work to restore the skin barrier, provide instant calm, and offer lasting hydration.

Nicole Mowad-Nassar, senior vice president of AbbVie and president of Global Allergan Aesthetics, stated, "SkinMedica was a pioneer in regenerative skincare long before it became one of the industry's fastest-growing movements. With the launch of Barrier Calming Cream, we're continuing to advance our portfolio of science-backed solutions that meet consumers' growing focus on skin barrier health and support healthier-looking skin over time."

Prithwiraj Maitra, Ph.D., vice president of global skincare research and development at Allergan Aesthetics, added, "The skin barrier is your body's first line of defense against external stressors. When the barrier is compromised, skin can become dry and sensitive, and even the most powerful ingredients can't perform the way they are intended. The Barrier Calming Cream is clinically proven to help restore the skin barrier and support skin's retinol tolerance."

In addition to the Barrier Calming Cream, SkinMedica® has also launched HA5® Hydra Collagen Facial Mist, which features vegan collagen and five forms of hyaluronic acid. This ultra-fine mist is designed to be used over skincare, makeup, and sunscreen, providing a refreshing boost of hydration between morning and evening routines. Clinical testing showed the mist increased skin hydration levels by 31% with one application and improved skin dryness by 62%.

Both the Barrier Calming Cream and HA5® Hydra Collagen Facial Mist are now available for purchase at SkinMedica.com and through a network of licensed physicians and medically supervised spas. SkinMedica® continues to offer innovation, education, and a commitment to excellence in its skincare products.
