THE SURFACE
Fill the gaps
Skin-like lipids fill the gaps in your outer layer, so moisture stays in.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
Often, it’s not just a lack of moisture.
It’s a barrier that needs help holding on to it.
BARRIEDERM’S ANSWER
Instead of only adding water, BARRIEDERM helps your skin hold on to it, in three ways.
Mimics your skin's lipids to build a healthier skin barrier for long-lasting hydration.
Every formula is kept at pH 4.5 ± 0.5, close to skin’s own surface.
Tested on sensitive and acne-prone skin, with no added fragrance.
A DERMATOLOGIST’S VIEW
Dr. Jung Woo Lee, board-certified dermatologist, explains
how BARRIEDERM fits into a routine for dry, sensitive skin.
Developed for Korean dermatology clinics and recommended by skin professionals, for skin that needs extra care.
At CMS LAB’s pH Barrier Laboratory, researchers study pH balance, moisture retention and the skin barrier, and develop the patented ingredients behind every formula.
Trusted in 3,000+ hospitals and clinics in Korea, and offered through 8,100+ clinics across Asia, Europe, the Americas and Australia.
3-STEP BARRIER CARE
When your barrier weakens, moisture slips away. NEO-CMS works in three steps, from the surface down.
THE SURFACE
Skin-like lipids fill the gaps in your outer layer, so moisture stays in.
THE SKIN CELLS
Helps your skin make more of its own natural moisturizing factor (NMF), so it stays hydrated from within.
THE FOUNDATION
Helps keep the deeper layers connected, so your barrier has a strong base.

* Test institute: Korea Dermatology Research Institute (KDRI). Subjects: 20 healthy female volunteers aged 20–65 per test, using a lotion containing 2% NEO-CMS. Tests 01–03: Jan. 23–26, 2017; skin temporarily stressed with 1% SLS, results vs. immediately after stress. Test 04: Jan. 10–Feb. 7, 2017; twice-daily use for 4 weeks, results vs. before use. *Results reflect the NEO-CMS ingredient only, not results of the finished BARRIEDERM products.
