Meet the AESTURA Atobarrier 365 Cream, Korea's number 1 skin barrier repair cream. This award-winning, sellout moisturiser delivers up to 100 hours of hydration, restoring and reinforcing the skin barrier from deep within. The results? Soft, plump and hydrated skin! That’s the magic of this product! I think it can be suitable for dry skin as well as for combination skin, depending on the climate you are in and your preferences in terms of textures.

Even with its gel-cream texture, the brand is aiming at the comfort of skin that suffers during the warm season, or skin types that prefer lighter textures but still have a strong need for hydration and even nutrition. The formula is super interesting and mainly focused on hydration, nutrition but also on maintaining the skin barrier. Perfect for repairing and soothing skin that suffers due to dryness, but without being greasy: Melding over 40 years of expert pharmaceutical experience with cutting-edge dermatological science, Korean skin care brand AESTURA offers clinically tested products that promote healthy skin. Launched in 1982 and part of the Amorepacific group, the brand’s name draws on the word “estuary” to suggest abundance and provision. AESTURA specializes in simple yet highly efficacious formulas capable of restoring balance in sensitive skin. From nourishing creams to soothing serums, the AESTURA product range is a showcase for ingredients ranging from the tried-and-true to the buzzworthy, including ceramide for barrier protection and cica for calming care. AESTURA just turned out to be the perfect brand to meet this demand! This is an Amore Pacific brand, so it belongs to the same big conglomerate which also houses Laneige, IOPE and Sulwhasoo. It is marketed as a derma or even “clinical” brand comparable to European pharmacy brands. Indeed, you usually find AESTURA products right next to Bioderma, Avène and co. at Olive Young stores. I did a full video on the brand a while ago, so you can watch it to learn more and see some of my other product faves from the brand!Effective cleansing helps to get rid of excess sebum while keeping pores unclogged. The Theracne 365 range of pH-balanced cleansers does just that. There’s the Clear Deep Cleansing Foam, an amino acids-rich foam cleanser with hydrating ingredients like glycerin, so your skin doesn’t feel taut post-cleansing. For a cleanser with more exfoliating and pore-purifying capabilities, choose between the PHA-rich Clear pH Balancing Cleansing Gel and the BHA-rich Bubble Cleanser. Its melting texture is really super pleasant, and it’s a real treat to apply it on my skin in the morning. It is fresh but still very repairing and nourishing.

Yes, I know, I’m posting this review a bit late (it’s September), but I sincerely think that a cream capable of reviving a completely dehydrated and suffering skin with a light and silky texture, can be appealing for a lot of people, even in autumn! If you have dehydrated skin, you’ll love the lightweight Hydro Essence, which pampers and protects skin with a formula rich in natural moisturizing factors.

I think this gel cream helped me survive the Dubai summer, and believe me, that is quite a challenge! Formulated with a unique combination of ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids, the Atobarrier 365 Cream is able to boost the absorption of ceramides by 80% (compared to creams formulated with ceramides alone). Aestura's patented DermaON encapsulation technology ensure ingredients are absorbed fully, melting into the skin across multiple layers for long-lasting results. Formulated for acne-prone skin, the Theracne 365 line aims to cleanse, clarify and calm skin with a mix of powerhouse exfoliators and soothing agents.
