Rebuild, repair, and restore your skin's protective barrier with OBAGI® REBALANCE Skin Barrier Recovery Cream — a clinically formulated recovery cream designed to address compromised, sensitive, or barrier-disrupted skin.

Key Ingredients
-
Ceramides — Essential lipids that form the foundation of the skin barrier; replenish and repair damaged barrier structure to reduce water loss and external irritant penetration
-
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) — Reduces redness, calms inflammation, and helps restore even skin tone while strengthening the barrier
-
Squalane — A lightweight, non-comedogenic emollient that mimics the skin's natural sebum to hydrate and protect without clogging pores
-
Fatty Acids — Replenish the skin's lipid matrix to restore suppleness and prevent moisture loss
Professional Tips
REBALANCE is an excellent companion product for any Obagi active treatment — especially when using retinoids, AHAs, or brightening actives that may temporarily increase sensitivity. Use consistently to maintain a strong, resilient skin barrier that amplifies the results of your entire skincare routine.
