The Importance of a Strong Skin Barrier: Three Ships Replenish Ceramides + Blueberry Barrier Repair Serum Review
As someone who loves exfoliating acids and treatments to keep my breakout-prone skin in check, I often overdo it, leaving my skin barrier in dire need of repair. That’s where Three Ships’ new Replenish Ceramides + Blueberry Barrier Repair Serum comes in handy. This nourishing serum aims to soothe red, irritated skin, while strengthening and repairing a compromised barrier using ceramides and antioxidant-rich blueberry oil.
But how exactly do you know when your skin barrier has been compromised? According to board-certified dermatologist Sandy Skotnicki MD, skin is like a brick wall, with skin cells as the bricks and natural lipids as the mortar that holds them together. When the barrier is compromised, the brick wall is leaky, which leads to water loss and dry, irritated skin. In more extreme cases, it can lead to barrier dysfunction, which results in redness, burning, discomfort, and dermatitis.
The Three Ships Replenish Barrier Repair Serum addresses all of the above and rebuilds the barrier back to its former glory. Ceramides are the main component of the brick wall mortar, making them a must for restoring a damaged skin barrier. Meanwhile, blueberry seed oil has linolenic acid, which also helps repair the barrier.
This serum also boasts potent antioxidants to combat environmental stress and minimize inflammation. Three Ships uses blueberry seed oil derived from upcycled blueberry pulp from the juice industry, adding another sustainability win. Furthermore, prickly pear oil, high in linoleic acid, has a great anti-inflammatory activity that calms redness and irritation.
The Replenish Serum has a lightweight, milky consistency that feels immediately comforting and cooling on irritated skin. Once absorbed, it leaves skin feeling pillow-soft, plump, and hydrated. After a few weeks of consistent day and night use, the Replenish Serum not only did serious skin barrier-damage control, but also made my skin feel insanely good. I reach for it every day now, not just when my skin needs a little extra love. Other Three Ships customers report the same experience, with one shopper saying she saw results right away, and another shopper calling it the best product they’ve ever put on their skin.
In conclusion, the Three Ships Replenish Ceramides + Blueberry Barrier Repair Serum comes with a well-rounded formula that helps soothe, strengthen, and rebuild the skin barrier. It’s also sustainable, budget-friendly, and suitable for all skin types. If you’re looking for a hero product to incorporate into your skincare regimen, this serum might be the one for you.
