Product Information

Full details

The Drunk Elephant Bora Barrier Repair Cream is an ultra-rich lipid-based moisturizer designed for adults with dry, sensitive, or fragile skin in need of intensive barrier support. This buttery cream delivers deep hydration, firms the skin, and minimizes visible redness through a potent blend of ceramides and antioxidants. While it provides exceptional relief for compromised moisture barriers, it may feel too heavy or greasy for those with naturally oily or acne-prone skin types.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this cream suitable for acne-prone skin?

It is formulated to be non-irritating, but because it is very rich, those with oily or acne-prone skin may find it too heavy and should perform a patch test first.

Can I use this under makeup?

Yes, but allow the cream to fully absorb for several minutes before applying foundation to ensure a smooth finish.

Does it contain fragrance?

No, the Bora Barrier Repair Cream is 100% free of fragrance and essential oils.

How often should I use it?

You can use it twice daily, morning and night, depending on your skin's specific hydration needs.

Is this product vegan and cruelty-free?

Drunk Elephant is a cruelty-free brand, and this product is formulated without animal-derived ingredients.

Can I use it on my body?

While intended for the face, it is safe to use on any small areas of dry, sensitive skin on the body, though the 15ml size is best reserved for facial care.

Troubleshooting

Cream feels too greasy or heavy

Reduce the amount used; a little goes a long way. Focus application only on the driest areas of the face.

Product is difficult to pump

Ensure the container is resting on a flat surface and apply even pressure to the top of the dispenser.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this product is part of the Drunk Elephant range, it is designed to be compatible with other products in the line. When introducing the cream, start by using it once daily to ensure compatibility with your current routine.

  1. Begin with a clean, dry face.
  2. Dispense a pea-sized amount of the cream.
  3. Gently massage onto the face and neck until fully absorbed.
  4. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the antioxidant compounds.

Avoid applying heavy actives like high-strength retinoids or exfoliating acids immediately before this cream if you have highly reactive skin, as it is designed to provide a soothing, occlusive layer.
