Barrier Repairing Cream, anyone?
The other day I did my review on iUNIK Centella Calming Gel Cream and how I love that moisturizer for my combination skin. So today I’m going to review second moistuizer from this brand, Beta Glucan Daily Moisturizer. As Centella Gel Cream is more suitable for normal to oily skin including combination skin, this Beta Glucan Cream is made to suits dry and senstive skin needs. It also designed to other skin types peeps who have a compromised skin barrier.
What is Compromised Skin Barrier?
Have you ever face these symptoms like below?
1. Your skin is super dry, tight, and possibly flaky and inflamed
2. Your skin looks dull and flat
3. Your skin is breaking out all over — and in places where you don’t normally break out
4. Your skin stings and itches when you apply your products
So when this happens you need to fix it. I will go deeper on this topic but first, let me show you the cream that help me dealing with compromised skin barrier.

Volume
60 ml
How To Use
AFTER USING BASIC TONER, APPLY SUITABLE AMOUNT OF CREAM AND RUB ALONG SKIN TEXTURE FROM INSIDE TO OUTSIDE, LETTING TO ABSORB.
Packaging
The cream comes in a white squeeze tube with a light blue flip cap, easy to dispense as the tube is quite soft. The packaging is really convenient for everyday use and travel friendly too.
Texture
It has a whitey gel cream texture. More to side but don’t be fooled with the texture. It delivers tremendously hydration to skin.
Scent
For me it has a slight scent of pure butter. I can’t even think of others but butter.
Experience
Sometimes, my skin barrier gets compromised especially when I accidentally over exfoliate. Used too much of acid in my routine will make my skin full of redness and small bumps starting to appear. So when this happen I will back to basic and incorporate this cream in my routine. This cream is lightweight and easily absorb to no stickiness, no greasiness and I don’t feel tight either.
A pea size of this cream can cover my whole face. I can’t apply too much in am routine because it will give me slightly greasy feeling especially when I put the sunscreen on top. Matte finish sunscreen fits well with this cream. But I will apply a bit more at night like a sleeping mask.
This cream really calm my redness and my skin barrier is improving day by day. When my skin barrier is okay, I will switching this cream and my centella cream. Centella cream in the morning, beta glucan at night.
This is a great daily moisturiser and would work well even on oilier skin types, as it’s not overly heavy. The formula is soothing and hydrating and offers a subtle brightening effect.
