Repair (acne cream)

Repair is a rich, barrier-restoring moisturizer formulated to do what most acne moisturizers don't: actually fix your skin barrier. Ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and squalane work together to replenish the lipid barrier that active acne treatments (acids, retinoids, benzoyl peroxide) progressively deplete, keeping the skin hydrated, calm, and resilient enough to tolerate ongoing treatment without breaking down.

The name is deliberate. Repair is for skin that's been through something: months of acne treatments, a chemical peel, post-procedure recovery, barrier damage from over-exfoliation, or simply the daily wear of managing reactive skin. It's an acne-safe formula — non-comedogenic, free from pore-clogging ingredients — designed to provide serious barrier support without undermining your clearing regimen.

Key ingredients:
Ceramides — Rebuild the skin's natural lipid barrier layer, which is responsible for keeping moisture in and irritants out. Acne treatments progressively strip ceramides; Repair replaces them.
Hyaluronic acid — Binds water to the skin for deep, lasting hydration at a cellular level.
Squalane — A lightweight, non-comedogenic emollient derived from plants that mimics the skin's natural oils, sealing moisture without greasiness.

What it does:
- Restores ceramide-depleted skin barrier
- Deeply hydrates without clogging pores
- Calms redness, dryness, and flakiness caused by active treatments
- Reduces tight, uncomfortable skin after acid or retinoid use
- Supports post-procedure recovery after chemical peels or other clinical treatments

Who it's for:
Repair is essential for anyone using active acne treatments, exfoliating acids, or Vitamin A — the very treatments that clear skin often damage the barrier over time. It's also the right choice for dry-combination, sensitive, oncology-affected, or post-treatment skin that needs genuinely restorative moisture. If you find most moisturizers either break you out or don't provide enough hydration, Repair was designed for exactly that gap.

How to use:
Apply as the final step in your evening routine after serums and treatments. For most skin types, Repair is the PM moisturizer and a lighter option (HydraGel or ReBalancer) works for the AM. On recovery nights or after intensive treatments, Repair can be used morning and evening. Apply to slightly damp skin after Fonte for maximum hydration.

Pairs well with:
Balance Wash → Calming Mist → [Treatment serum] → Fonte → Repair

Frequently asked questions:

*Is Repair really non-comedogenic if it contains squalane and ceramides?
Yes. Squalane is one of the most rigorously tested non-comedogenic emollients in skincare formulation. Ceramides are lipids native to the skin barrier — they don't trigger acne. The combination is specifically designed to provide rich moisturization without pore interaction.

*Should I use Repair if I'm not actively treating acne?
Absolutely. Repair is an excellent moisturizer for dry, sensitive, or compromised skin even outside of an active treatment protocol. The ceramide + HA + squalane combination is one of the most effective barrier-repair formulations available.

*Is Repair appropriate for oncology patients or those with sensitive treatment-affected skin?
Yes. Repair was developed with oncology-conscious formulation standards in mind — free of parabens, sulfates, and harsh irritants. It's one of the gentlest barrier-repair options in the line.
