Barrier Repair After Retinoid or Acid Damage
When strong actives are overused, the surface can feel tight, look red, and lose comfortable balance. OUMERE’s approach is to support replenishment first, then reintroduce renewal gently—so skin looks calm, supple, and resilient again.
The Science of Surface Discomfort
Heavy-handed resurfacing can deplete the lipid matrix that helps limit water loss and maintain comfort. The visible result can be dryness, flaking, and a reactive look. A supportive strategy focuses on comfort first, then calibrated renewal.
How OUMERE Supports the Barrier
Step 2: Restore Lipid Comfort
Serum Bioluminelle and Serum Bioluminelle Concentrate — omega-balanced oils and antioxidants for a supple, non-greasy finish.
Step 3: Daily Antioxidant Support
UV-R and UV-R Concentrate — helps improve the appearance of UV damage.
Step 4: Peptide Conditioning
The Advancement Concentrate and The Advancement Concentrate II — encourage a smooth, resilient look.
Step 5: Cleanse Without Disruption
Oil Dissolution Theory — removes buildup while maintaining the hydrolipidic feel.
Recovery Timeline
Weeks 1–2: skin feels calmer. Weeks 3–5: texture looks smoother, comfort increases. Beyond 6 weeks: a stable, balanced appearance.
