The richer sister to the 345. Dr. Althea 147 Barrier Cream is built for skin that's dry, dehydrated, or genuinely compromised — the kind of skin that stings when you put things on it.
Formulated with a lipid-rich blend of ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids, plus guaiazulene (the chamomile-derived ingredient that gives the cream its pale blue color), Vitamin E and avocado extract. The texture is thick and cushiony but still spreads easily, and it does its best work overnight.
Why You'll Love It
- Helps strengthen and reinforce the moisture barrier
- Delivers deep, lasting hydration
- Helps soothe the look of dry, irritated skin
- Rich and cushiony without feeling greasy
- Higher ceramide content than the 345 Relief Cream
- Vegan and cruelty-free
- Excellent as a night cream or a winter moisturizer
Key Ingredients
Ceramides, Cholesterol & Fatty Acids
The three lipids that make up a healthy skin barrier, included together to help repair and reinforce it.
Guaiazulene
A chamomile-derived ingredient that helps skin hold onto moisture, and the reason the cream is blue.

An antioxidant that helps protect and condition the skin.
Avocado Extract
A nourishing plant oil extract that helps soften and comfort dry skin.
Great For
- Very dry or dehydrated skin
- A compromised or weakened barrier
- Winter weather and dry indoor heat
