A lightweight, non-comedogenic face moisturizer that helps support the skin barrier, delivers long-lasting hydration, and calms the look of visible redness, often in as little as 24 hours. Formulated for sensitive, reactive, and redness-prone skin across all skin types and skin tones, including melanin-rich and deeper skin tones

Powered by skin-supporting ingredients like peptides, ceramides, and hyaluronic acid, PEP TALK™ helps leave skin feeling smoother, softer, and more comfortable with consistent use.

Description

PEP TALK™ Bio-Peptide Barrier Repair Cream with Triple Lipid Complex is a nourishing, non-comedogenic face moisturizer designed to help support the skin barrier, visibly calm the look of redness, and deliver long-lasting hydration. Suitable for sensitive, reactive, and redness-prone skin, this barrier-supporting cream is formulated for all skin types and skin tones, including melanin-rich and deeper skin tones.

The texture is rich yet breathable. It melts into the skin with a smooth, cushiony glide and absorbs without feeling heavy, greasy, or pore-clogging. Skin feels instantly comforted, soft, and deeply moisturized, with a supple, healthy-looking finish that layers well under sunscreen or makeup. It leaves behind a subtle glow rather than shine, making it ideal for dry, combination, and even oily skin types seeking balanced hydration.

Powered by Vegan Bio-Placenta® peptides to support healthy-looking skin renewal, this peptide face cream helps improve the appearance of fine lines and uneven texture over time. A Triple Lipid Complex featuring ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids helps reinforce moisture retention and strengthen the look and feel of a compromised skin barrier. Hyaluronic Acid attracts and retains hydration for a plumper-looking complexion, while antioxidant botanicals including Glutathione and Ashwagandha help defend against environmental stressors and daily skin fatigue.

With consistent use, skin appears smoother, more even-toned, and resilient. This dermatologist-informed moisturizer is designed for those looking for an effective barrier repair cream that delivers hydration, comfort, and long-term skin support without irritation.

Size: 1.7 oz / 50 mL

    FAQs

    Are Lion Pose products suitable for sensitive skin?

    Lion Pose products are thoughtfully formulated for sensitive, reactive, and redness-prone skin. We avoid synthetic fragrances and dyes, and use well-studied ingredients skin-compatible concentrations. Many of our formulas are third-party tested on sensitive skin to help ensure tolerability. Because every individual’s skin is unique, we recommend reviewing the full ingredient list and performing a patch test before first use.

    Can I use Lion Pose products if I have eczema?

    Eczema is a medical condition, so we always recommend consulting your physician or dermatologist before introducing any new skincare product. PEP TALK™ was recently accepted to the National Eczema Association, and was formulated to support dry, sensitive, and eczema-prone skin. Our barrier-supporting ingredients, including ceramides and hydrating humectants, are designed to help maintain moisture and comfort. However, professional guidance is the best way to determine what is appropriate for your specific skin concerns.

    PEP TALK™ is developed with dermatology expertise and formulated with ingredients commonly recommended for barrier support, hydration, and healthy aging.

    Yes. The formula includes Hyaluronic Acid, which attracts and retains moisture, along with barrier-supporting lipids that help reduce moisture loss.

      Amazing product!

      I saw immediate results with Unspotted, so I decided to try the Barrier cream a few weeks ago during the sale on GMA. I am stunned! In less than a week of using it (only once a day so far) my face has transformed! I never would have believed these results were possible, if I hadn't seen it for myself. Specifically, the damage to my face due to old acne scars (Not old red marks, but these annoying divots that form as I age and lose collagen they became more pronounced). I was warned by dermatologists that fixing this would require expensive laser treatments, and while its not 100% better, I think its about 80% improved just by using the barrier cream for a few nights! Thank you thank you thank you! I'm now a subscriber for life!

      Barrier cream

      I like how cream doesn't take much to cover face. It's evening out my blotchy skin.

      I finally found my night cream!

      I have red dry skin and have tried so many different products like Murad colloidal oatmeal, Shiseido moisturizers, hand crafted oil serums, ect. Nothing works as good as this product and the price is fair for the volume and usage you get out of it. I have never had anything make my skin feel so soft in the morning when I wake up for such a light appliance. It feels like a miracle to finally find something that makes my skin feel the way I want it to. I think it helps with the look of my skin and my makeup goes on better in the morning as well but the feel of it is what it helps the most with. Total game changer! Thank you for making this product!
