Rebuilds the Skin Barrier

Over 90% of skin conditions can be traced back to an impaired skin barrier, the skin’s natural immune system responsible for defending against pollution, UV light, infection and locking in hydration. BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER is designed to protect and repair your skin’s natural barrier function, as well as replenish your topical microbiome.

Reduces Redness, Sensitivity and Breakouts

Much like our gut, everyday stressors actively impair our skin’s microbiome and barrier. This includes pollution, stress, over-washing and overloading the skin with too many active ingredients. BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER contains patented technology that is clinically proven to down-regulate redness signals induced by stressors.

Locks In Moisture

Most cleansers are too harsh for the skin as they use surfactants (foaming agents) that strip the oil from the skin, leaving it tight, dehydrated and imbalanced. Our skin is naturally slightly acidic (around pH 4.5) but foaming cleansers are usually very alkaline (around pH 7 or 8) which creates a breeding ground for pathogenic bacteria, upsetting our topical microbiome. BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER mimics the natural acidic state of our skin, whilst using hyaluronic acid and calendula to hydrate and soothe.

Less consumption, Less Waste, More Results

Overly complex beauty routines are doing 2 things: driving over 95 billion units of packaging to landfill each year, while also destroying our skin barrier. Our collection of topical supplements focus on a less is more approach to skin health by preserving the skin barrier, reducing the amount of steps in our routines and, as a result, sending less waste out into the environment.

Best non-drying cleanser

"My skin has changed from combination to dry over the past few years and I was finding most cleansers too drying. Nue’s barrier cleanser solved the problem. Leaves my face clean without drying it out. My face feels soft and leaves my sensitive skin protected. Great product!"

Julie F. (5/5)

"Very happy with this product!"

Sade A. (5/5)

Please bring back NOW!!!

"I can’t explain how much I love this cleanser. I used this cleanser for about two years and now it’s been unavailable!! Whenever I order something from the nue company I get a sample just so I can have a little bit of it. Please,please, please bring this back!!!"

Rachelle D. (5/5)

I love it!!!!

"It’s honestly one of the best cleansers ever I don’t normally spend this much on a face wash but from trying the testers that came with my other parcels I saw the difference it made to my skin and had to buy the wash!!"

Ashley N. (5/5)

Absolutely Love This Scent

"My friend gave me a sample of this and at first I was put off, but after I let it settle for a few minutes, I became hooked. A few years later, here I am buying my own bottle. I love it so much! It has such a clean, masculine scent that helps me fall asleep at night since I spray it on my pillows and plushies."

Stacy L. (5/5)

Best wash off cleanser

"The only one I order on repeat. I love the feel of freshly washed skin and barrier culture cleanser leaves my skin feeling clean but never dry or irritated. I use it in the morning - perfect with my Foreo and at night alone or if I have been wearing makeup as a second cleanse. A bottle lasts for ages. My skin type is dry/ mature."

Avril A. (5/5)

Never received

"I can’t rate this. Because I never received it as said in my purchase order."

Gustavo G. (5/5)

The only cleanser i use

"Super barrier friendly cleanser that leaves my skin soft and supple. And unlike other 'gentle' cleansers, it's not a pain to wash off. I skip the double cleanse when I wear light makeup and sunscreen, and my skin does feel really clean after. The bottle thoughtfully designed too – It's lockable and has a nice wide base."
