Early verdict · Few reviews so far

What the gurus are saying

The ceramide blend stands out: reviewers consistently note that this cream delivers a notably higher dose of ceramides than many competitor products, paired with peptides, glycerin, squalane, and nourishing oils that work together to soften skin immediately and strengthen the barrier over time. The push-up applicator earns praise for its hygiene and precision, dispensing exactly one pump for the whole face. Most gurus reach for the rich version in winter when skin turns dry, then switch to the lighter formula in summer, though those with oily or combination skin may prefer the light version year-round.

    WINTER SKINCARE SHOWDOWN - Calm Redness, Soothe Irritation and Boost Skin Barrier
    "Absolutely phenomenal. If you're somebody who just goes into dry skin overload in winter, buy this. You will not be disappointed. It works so well. It has one of those push-up things so you can dispense the perfect amount. It's amazing. [...] Go for the heavier one, which is the rich barrier moisturizer. [...] It's not super expensive either. [...] That is my go-to winter moisturizer, and I love it."

    "It's one of their newer launches from the Remedy skincare line and honestly I don't think this brand has had a miss. I love everything from them. This has a real sky-high concentration of ceramides so you're really getting a lot for your money with this one. And it's got some other great humectants such as squalane and glycerin which are really going to double down on that hydration. This is going to do wonders for your skin barrier by locking in all that moisture."

    THE PERFECT MOISTURIZERS 2025 - Bye Bye CeraVe ( 10 Best Moisturisers )
    "It's rich. It's emollient. It's hydrating. Some people do say that the rich is a little bit too rich for them. I don't think that's a bad thing. In winter we need rich. If you do find that, maybe go for the light version. But for me, when my skin gets dry in winter, this is great and it doesn't break me out because I am one of that rare breed of people that is dry and acne prone in winter. [...] And this doesn't break me out and it deals with the dryness. So, that's win-win-win."
    My Perfect ANTI AGING ROUTINE 2026 - Nothing Beats This For Anti Aging
    "This is the Remedy Barrier Repairing Rich Cream Moisturizer. Remedy are probably my favorite skincare brand of the moment. [...] This is one of my favorite products. They actually do two different versions. [...] This is the standard moisturizer. They do a light version. Because my skin is a little bit more dryness prone in winter, I'm using the original. In summer I'll switch to the light because I don't need as much hydration."

    "When you look at the ingredients, this is a really well formulated and well thought through moisturizer. It's not just delivering you that hydration. It's got some other beneficial barrier supporting ingredients, too. So in the long term, this is going to improve the skin's health. I am a huge fan for [...] this product, particularly if you've got really dry skin and you want thick when it comes to your moisturizer."

    "This is my winter go-to. It's a little thick for me in summer, so I will keep this to my winter skincare routine. But if you're looking for a really rich barrier supporting moisturizer, you can't go wrong with this. It's stunning. Great blend of ingredients. Really packs a punch and it's one of those moisturizers you can layer on top of itself. So if you need a little extra hydration, you can put another layer on. And it's very forgiving. Doesn't peel, doesn't ball up. It's just really nice."

    "This is the remedy Barrier Repairing Rich Cream Moisturizer. This is the rich version which is absolutely packed full of humectants and moisturizers. Great for a more dryness prone skin type. And they also do a light version of it too. Perfect if you have a more oily or combination oily skin. Choose the one that aligns to what your level of hydration needs are and that way you can't go wrong."

    "You've got peptides in here, you've got glycerin, you've got squalane, all the nice hydrators, the humectants, those ceramides boost the barrier function of the skin, hydrates you to the gods, and they do two versions. They do a rich and a light. I tend to use the rich in winter and then I'll use the light version during summer. Both are great. I would say if you've got a more oily skin type, you might just want to get the light version and use it year round."

    "Glycerin, grape seed oil. I like that. Squalane, jojoba oil, ceramides. Got peptide in there. It looks like half of the Matrix 3000 peptide. Licorice root, which is great for brightening. And then some fatty acids and aloe leaf. Looks pretty nice. I would buy a full size of this. It feels really nice and silky on the skin."

    What the evidence says.

    Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

    Niacinamide

    Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

    Source: DermNet

    Ceramides

    Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.

    Source: DermNet

    Humectants and emollients

    Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
