When Skin Is Compromised, Precision Matters

Compromised skin does not need more stimulation. It needs targeted support.

The Barrier Recovery Duo was developed for moments when skin feels overwhelmed after over-exfoliation, environmental exposure, travel, climate shifts, or professional treatments.

Powered by AgaveFlora-V™ bio-signaling technology and barrier-supportive actives, this two-step routine works in sequence: Rescue Serum helps calm visible stress and restore hydration, while Supra Face Cream reinforces the barrier with structural support, antioxidant protection, and restorative nourishment.

Together, they help return skin to a state of comfort, balance, and resilience so it can function optimally again.

Recovery, refined.

FAQs

How do I know when my barrier is compromised and I need this Duo?

Signs include persistent tightness after cleansing, visible redness or sensitivity that wasn't previously present, skin that stings when applying previously well-tolerated products, and rapid moisture loss throughout the day. If you are experiencing two or more of these, simplify to the Barrier Recovery Duo for 7 to 14 days.

Can I use this Duo as a preventive system, or only during active disruption?

Both. Many customers use Rescue Serum and Supra Face Cream as their full routine between more complex protocol phases, or during high-stress seasons and travel periods.

Is this Duo safe to use after professional treatments like chemical peels or laser?

Rescue Serum has been used in professional post-procedure care since 2001. Always follow your treatment provider's guidance. In general, the Barrier Recovery Duo is appropriate for post-procedure recovery contexts. Avoid introducing other actives until your provider confirms the barrier has stabilized.

Restore Balance. Strengthen Resilience.
