Barrier creams tend to be thicker, so they&#8217;re usually ideal if your skin is drier, which is especially good during colder seasons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The formula works to boost your skin&#8217;s hydration levels in a few ways: by drawing moisture into your skin with a mix of humectants (see: glycerin and hyaluronic acid), by soothing your dehydrated skin barrier with fatty acids and lipids, and then by trapping in all of these moisturizing ingredients with seven different plant oils.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As with most Drunk Elephant products, the ingredients list is long, but it&#8217;s stacked with stuff your skin needs to stay healthy, like its cocktail of lipids and ceramides. &#8220;Lipids fill in the cracks in the outer skin layer, helping to repair the barrier,&#8221; says <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zeichnerdermatology.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Joshua Zeichner<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, MD, a board-certified dermatologist based in New York City. At the same time, ceramides act like the glue in your skin barrier, keeping your skin cells strong and protected. The cream is also formulated with zinc and copper gluconates, which helps calm irritation and potentially balance oil production. &#8220;Be <\/span>cautious if you have oil or acne-prone skin,&#8221; says Dr. Zeichner. This formula is incredibly rich and made to act like a type of seal on your skin, which &#8220;may leave you feeling heavy and can potentially trigger a breakout,&#8221; he says.<\/p>\n<div>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">My Bora Barrier Cream review<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Don&#8217;t get me wrong: Among the zillions of moisturizers I&#8217;ve tried over the years, there certainly\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">have<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0been a few that get the job done in keeping my dry skin hydrated. What sets the Drunk Elephant Bora Barrier Cream apart is that it does so without feeling like my face is coated in a layer of thick grease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Despite how rich the formula is, it melts seamlessly into the skin in a way that genuinely impressed me the first time I experienced it. Though this easy application initially got me hooked on the formula, the long-term benefits have kept me coming back to it for the past month and a half. It leaves my skin soft and smooth for <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">hours<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0after I put it on\u2014which is great for someone who&#8217;s accustomed to thinking, &#8220;holy shit, my face is so dry it hurts.&#8221; When I apply it at night, I don&#8217;t wake up with my face feeling greasy \u2014it feels just as hydrated as before my head hit the pillow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Over time, I&#8217;ve noticed that my skin looks brighter and less irritated, and my usual winter breakouts are nonexistent. This is likely because the formula keeps my skin barrier working to its maximum potential to keep environmental irritants out and active ingredients in. My skin and I tend to be snobs about moisturizers, but the Drunk Elephant Bora Barrier Cream has humbled us once and for all.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For when you&#8217;re so over the small talk.
