Why is topical Vitamin D needed for skin health?

When dermal Vitamin D levels are insufficient or not optimized, our skin may experience such issues as dullness, persistent redness or sensitivity, slower healing, lacking in luminosity, among others. More than half of the global population experiences Vitamin D insufficiency, yet beneath the skin’s surface, Vitamin D plays a critical role in many processes that affect the health, wellness, and appearance of our skin, including its resilience to skin conditions and visible signs of aging. Adequate Vitamin D levels in the skin can allow it to become stronger and more resilient, and appear more luminous, radiant, and healthy. Vitamin D is produced in the skin after sun exposure provides the precursors, or the building blocks, necessary for the activation of Vitamin D. Barrier Pro™ Serum Spray mimics the sun and helps support the skin’s ability to produce its own Vitamin D without the sun exposure.

Does Barrier Pro™ Serum Spray help you absorb more Vitamin D from the sun, and is it helping you produce more Vitamin D in the skin?

Yes, Barrier Pro™ Serum Spray with adapDvate™ ingredient technology features specialty ingredients that helps support your skin’s natural process of producing its own Vitamin D, doing so with minimal or no UV exposure.

How is Colorescience Barrier Pro™Serum Spray different from Hydrating Setting Mist? Does it replace Hydrating Setting Mist?

Hydrating Setting Mist is formulated to provide hydration and to set minerals and makeup. Barrier Pro™ Serum Spray goes beyond hydration and is a treatment serum with patent pending adapDvate™ ingredient technology that address skin health and signs of visible aging. It is the only serum spray that combines support for skin's natural synthesis of Vitamin D that is essential for skin health with microbiome support and deep hydration for overall stronger and more radiant, resilient skin to maintain healthy youthful skin with a fragrance-free formula. 

How is Barrier Pro™Serum Spray different from oral vitamin D supplementation?

Barrier Pro™ Serum Spray is a great way to complement oral supplementation! Barrier Pro™ Serum Spray does not contain vitamin D, rather, it contains adapDvate™ Technology which mimics the effects of the sun within your skin, allowing it to better produce and absorb vitamin D. Because the skin synthesizes and can use vitamin D locally, this topical application ensures that the serum benefits are directly received by the vitamin D receptors in your skin.

Is Barrier Pro™Serum Spray a sunscreen/SPF Product?

No, Barrier Pro™ Serum Spray does not contain SPF. It can be used prior to sunscreen application to prep, hydrate, and build skin's resilience to environmental aggressors, including UV exposure.

Does Barrier Pro™Serum Spray help with redness?

Incorporating Barrier Pro™ Serum Spray adds the benefits for sensitive and sensitized skin through upregulating Vitamin D activation which improves oxygenation and microcirculation that supports redness reduction. 

Where in my routine do I use Barrier Pro™Serum Spray?

Can I use Barrier Pro™Serum Spray if I have acne/blemish prone skin?

Can I use Barrier Pro™Serum Spray if I am using a hypochlorous acid?
