Why add the Barrier Booster Moisturiser to your regime?
Personalised Moisture Balance
Every moisturiser decision you’ve ever made — too greasy, too heavy, broke me out, not enough — comes down to one thing: the balance between water and oil in your skin.
Your skin needs both. Water keeps cells plump, resilient, and balanced. Oil seals that water in and protects the barrier. When that ratio is right for your skin type, the visible signs of imbalance — rough texture, frequent breakouts, reactive sensitivity — have less reason to show up.
What Makes This Moisturiser Different
Most moisturisers are formulated with whatever oils are trendy or cheap. Very few are formulated around what acne-prone skin is actually missing.
Hydrating Serum works differently. Sodium Hyaluronate and Sodium PCA are humectants — they attract water into the skin and hold it there from within, not by coating the surface. The formula is completely oil-free, absorbs instantly, and leaves no residue. Oily skin gets the hydration it needs without any of the congestion it doesn’t.
Barrier Booster Moisturiser’s proprietary plant oil blend is specifically formulated around oils high in linoleic acid and low in oleic acid: cold-pressed Grapeseed, Sunflower, and Jojoba oils, plus plant-derived Squalane. Grapeseed Oil alone is over 70% linoleic acid. These aren’t just good oils — they’re the right oils, chosen to normalise the lipid profile that acne-prone skin is most deficient in.
Many moisturisers sit on top of the skin. Barrier Booster Moisturiser is formulated to work within it — and the reason comes down to what acne-prone skin is consistently deficient in.
NMF is depleted by ageing, harsh skincare, stress, and skin conditions like acne and eczema. When NMF is low, your skin becomes more reactive, more prone to breakouts, and harder to keep balanced.
Think of ceramides as the cement between your skin’s cells — and cholesterol and fatty acids as the bricks. You need all three to build a barrier that actually holds. Many moisturisers contain ceramides, but either only one or two types, or they’re missing the cholesterol and fatty acids entirely. Without the full complex, the barrier can’t function the way healthy skin does.
Barrier Booster Moisturiser contains a skin-identical lipid complex of three ceramides (Ceramide NP, AP, EOP), Cholesterol, and Fatty Acid — the exact composition found in a healthy skin barrier. Combined with Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) and Saccharide Isomerate, it doesn’t just seal moisture in — it replenishes what years of acne, harsh treatments, and problem skin have depleted.
One of the most important things Jasmine learned from the ten-person trial wasn’t about oils at all — it was about people. No single concentration worked for everyone. Every tester had a different degree of dryness. And that meant every tester needed a different amount of oil.
She chose to launch Barrier Booster Moisturiser at the lower oil concentration — because too much oil, even the right oils, increases the risk of congestion. For skin that needs more, the same proprietary oil blend is available separately as Balancing Facial Oil — a few drops that can be mixed in or layered on top to reach the exact level your skin needs. Not more than it needs. Not less than it needs.
By the time she was 20, the evidence was visible: a deep forehead wrinkle — not from ageing, but from years of dehydrated, barrier-compromised skin. It wasn’t until an aesthetic doctor introduced her to a Sodium Hyaluronate serum at 23 that things turned around. With consistent use, that wrinkle gradually faded and eventually disappeared. It’s the reason fine line reduction appears in this product’s benefits — Jasmine didn’t read about it in a study. She lived it.
This is also why Barrier Booster Moisturiser is not a full-face requirement. Many people with combination skin will only use it on their drier zones. Others — especially in colder climates or during winter — may use it all over. The routine belongs to your skin. Not the other way around.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on your skin and climate. If you have oily skin in a humid climate, Hydrating Serum alone may be all you need — it’s oil-free and provides complete hydration for most oily skin types. If your skin feels tight or pulling after Hydrating Serum, that’s your skin telling you it needs the oil layer too. Apply Barrier Booster Moisturiser to those specific areas. The goal is your perfect water-and-oil balance — not a fixed routine that’s the same for everyone.
Barrier Booster Moisturiser is specifically formulated to minimise this risk. The plant oils chosen — Grapeseed, Jojoba, Sunflower, Squalane — are high in linoleic acid and low in oleic acid, which is the opposite of what triggers congestion. No mineral oil. No oleic-dominant oils. No comedogenic waxes. That said, how much you use matters — using more than your skin needs can still lead to congestion even with the right oils. Start with a small amount and apply only where you feel tightness.
Both contain the same proprietary linoleic-rich oil blend. Barrier Booster Moisturiser is a oil-in-water emulsion at a lower oil concentration — it combines the oil blend with the ceramide complex, Saccharide Isomerate, Panthenol, and botanical extracts for a complete barrier-support formula. Balancing Facial Oil is the concentrated oil blend on its own, for skin that needs a higher oil level than Barrier Booster Moisturiser alone provides. You can mix them, layer them, or use just one — depending on how dry your skin is.
Yes — if it’s the right oil. The fear of oil on acne-prone skin comes from oils that are high in oleic acid, which can worsen congestion. But research shows that acne-prone skin is actually deficient in linoleic acid — and applying linoleic-rich oils topically helps normalise the skin’s lipid profile and reduce the conditions that cause breakouts. Grapeseed and Sunflower oils are over 70% linoleic acid — they’re among the best-researched oils for acne-prone skin.
Let your skin tell you. Apply Hydrating Serum to your whole face first. Any area that feels tight, pulling, or dry — right after applying, or at any point during the day — is where you apply Barrier Booster Moisturiser. You can apply it any time you feel that tightness, not just as part of your morning or night routine. Mix a small amount into any remaining Hydrating Serum on your palms, or layer it directly on the areas that need it. Start with a pea-sized amount per zone and adjust from there. If your whole face feels comfortable after Hydrating Serum, you may not need Barrier Booster Moisturiser at all that day — especially in humid weather. In cold or dry climates, you’ll likely need more.
You can, but for best results, use Hydrating Serum first to establish the water layer. Barrier Booster Moisturiser’s role is to seal in hydration and support the barrier — it works best when there’s moisture to lock in. Using it alone on dry, dehydrated skin may feel comfortable short-term but won’t address the water deficit underneath.
Yes — Barrier Booster Moisturiser is free from essential oils, synthetic fragrances, and common allergens. It’s suitable for any age where the skin needs an oil layer. For teens with typically oilier skin, it’s likely only needed on drier zones — if at all. Let the tight-feeling test guide you.

To understand natural ingredients better, Jasmine specially took a diploma in organic skincare formulation. After researching on the types of oil that is beneficial for acne-prone skin, Jasmine tested and developed a proprietary oil blend (Skinlycious Balancing Facial Oil) that didn’t break her out. She then used this oil to formulate Barrier Booster Moisturiser.
After many iterations, Jasmine finalised on a formula that didn’t break her out. She then sent out 3 samples of the same formula, with difference only in the percentage of Balancing Facial Oil, to a small group of initial customers who feedback that they needed a moisturiser on top of hydrating serum. It was a blinded test. When the results came back, there was no winner among the 3 samples.
Jasmine then decided to choose the one with a lower oil percentage, so that herself (oily/normal breakout-prone skin) could use this moisturiser. And launch a pure blend of our proprietary oil as Skinlycious Balancing Facial Oil, so that the dry breakout-prone skin can customise the amount of oil they need.
