Skin Barrier 101: How SARKOVSKI® Helps Protect Your Skin from Environmental Stress

Here’s how SARKOVSKI®’s thoughtfully formulated products work to support your skin barrier and keep your complexion healthy, hydrated, and resilient.

What is the Skin Barrier—and Why Does It Matter?

Your skin barrier, or stratum corneum, is your body’s first line of defence. It locks in moisture while keeping out irritants and pollutants. When compromised, it can lead to redness, flakiness, and increased sensitivity.

To keep this barrier strong, you need ingredients that hydrate, soothe, and protect—all of which are found in SARKOVSKI®’s core range.

Step 1: Restore Moisture with the SARKOVSKI® Moisturiser

The SARKOVSKI® Hyaluronic Acid Moisturiser is a must-have for any skincare routine focused on barrier repair. This lightweight yet deeply hydrating cream is packed with:

• Hyaluronic Acid - Hyaluronic acid attracts and retains moisture, helping to increase your skin’s hydration levels. This added moisture can provide various benefits, such as plumping the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, and supporting wound healing. (Source: Healthline)
• Desert Lime – A potent native Australian antioxidant that helps reduce inflammation caused by environmental damage. (Source: National Library of Medicine)
• Green Tea Extract – rich in polyphenols, particularly catechins like EGCG, which neutralise free radicals and reduce oxidative stress, thereby calming irritated skin. (Source: National Library of Medicine)

This moisturiser not only hydrates but also reinforces the lipid barrier to minimise water loss and maximise skin resilience.

Step 2: Strengthen and Revitalise with the Vitamin A Serum

Environmental damage can accelerate skin ageing, making it important to incorporate protective actives. The SARKOVSKI® Vitamin A Serum is specifically designed to:

• Support collagen production
• Improve skin texture and tone
• Defend against oxidative stress

With Retinyl Palmitate, a gentle form of Vitamin A, this serum helps renew the skin without causing irritation. It also contains:

• Vitamin E – acting as a potent antioxidant to combat free radical damage. (Source: Healthline)
• Seabuckthorn Oil – Rich in omega fatty acids, it nourishes the skin and boosts barrier function.

This powerful blend strengthens the skin from within, making it more resilient to daily environmental challenges.

Step 3: Boost Firmness and Hydration with the Collagen Serum

Another essential in the SARKOVSKI® lineup is the SARKOVSKI® Collagen Serum, a hydrating and firming formula that helps your skin stay resilient against environmental stress. It’s especially beneficial for:

• Improving skin elasticity and texture
• Supporting hydration in dry or aging skin
• Enhancing overall skin plumpness and glow
