What the gurus are saying

The gurus who reviewed it found this cream delivers substantial hydration and barrier support, especially for those with dry or winter-prone skin, thanks to a meaningful dose of ceramides plus peptides, glycerin, and oils that work together to soften skin immediately and improve it over time. The push-pump dispenser means one pump covers the whole face, so a little goes a long way, though anyone with oily skin may want to reach for the lighter version instead or save this for cooler months when hydration needs shift. The formula is thoughtfully layered with ingredients beyond basic moisture, which the gurus see as a long-term investment in skin health.

"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. I'm someone that's actually quite oily and acne prone and so in summer I definitely will be using the light version but here in winter it's been very cold. It's been very wet. It's been very windy in the UK and my skin has gone through it a little bit. So I've actually found myself reaching for the rich version more often than not. And so I actually think sometimes having a lightweight and a more heavy duty moisturizer on hand is quite a strategic way to play it. That way you can use what your skin needs on that particular day. In winter I go for the rich. In summer my skin is only going to need that light version. But I think it's really nice that we have two options from the same skincare line that really mean you can choose the one that most aligns to your needs. They all come with this easy applicator which I love. Perfect if you're somebody that doesn't like to be digging into your moisturizers."

WINTER SKINCARE SHOWDOWN - Calm Redness, Soothe Irritation and Boost Skin Barrier

"My absolute favorite favorite winter moisturizer is the Remedy Barrier Repairing Rich Cream Moisturizer. This is way too thick for me during the summer, my skin does not need it when it's super oily and greasy. But as soon as the weather changes in autumn and winter, my skin needs the extra hydration and I will reach for this. 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."

My Perfect ANTI AGING ROUTINE 2026 - Nothing Beats This For Anti Aging

"This is one of my favorite products. Remedy are probably my favorite skincare brand of the moment. Because my skin is a little bit more dryness prone in winter, I'm using the original. They do a light version, and in summer I'll switch to the light because I don't need as much hydration. One pump does the whole face. It's rich as a product, but my skin needs this. It absolutely needs this."

Its Over For CeraVe - WORLDS BEST MOISTURIZERS 2025 (Use These Instead)

"This is a great option for people that don't like to be dipping their fingers in pots. You just give it one pump and then you can take the top off. This is thick. A little goes such a long way. You only need one pump to do the whole face and neck. It's thick, it's hydrating, and you don't want to overdo it with this product. 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."

Greatest SKINCARE BRAND 2026 - This Brand Took 10 Years Off My Skin

"This is the Remedy Barrier Repairing Rich Cream Moisturizer. Again, ceramides, ceramides, ceramides. If you're bored of the brand, other brands promoting ceramides, but actually using such a small quantity of them, you're not going to get a lot of results, switch to this good dose of those ceramides alongside a plethora of other really beneficial ingredients. 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. If you've got more dryness prone skin type, get the rich, use it year round. Do what works for you. It's one of those that you push down, you get the amount out so easy to use. I absolutely love it."

"It has four different types of ceramides and one type of ceramide that actually stimulates the endogenous production of your own ceramides. We have shea butter, grape seed oil, and jojoba oil, and all of these phenomenal ingredients in the product, but really it's how they came together into this beautiful formula that I'm super proud of. This is the most experiential product where your skin will feel soft and supple the day that you use it and for days afterwards. It is the product that I personally can't get enough of. I use all my samples up. There is an actual step up and experience when it comes to moisturizers if you invest more in these, and this is a pretty incredible compromise where you get the functional aspect but you get the aesthetic aspect that you may not otherwise be able to reach for. Functionally, tons of hydration, protection for your skin from the dry environment, and it rebuilds your skin. It's going to be incredible."
