Re: cream to repair skin's barrier function

Yes, it's called Tri-Ceram and I've used it for dry skin but haven't

used it for my face. I posted the ingredients in a prior post, so

you might want to search the archives. Has a lot of ingredients for

rosaceans, but if your skin isn't ultra-sensitive it could help. It

does wonders for chronic dry skin on other parts of the body.
