Why is Aestura Atobarrier 365 so popular?
Unlike many moisturiser which claim to deliver intense hydration but can feel heavy and claggy on application, Aestura Atobarrier365 is light and quick-absorbing. It’s designed to deeply hydrate while helping strengthen the skin barrier over time.
Key to its effectiveness are ceramides, which occur naturally in the skin and help to make up the skin’s barrier. Ceramides naturally deplete with age, but this formula contains 1 million ceramide capsules, developed using advanced capsule technology to help support the skin barrier.
One fan summed up the effects as, ‘Doesn’t get better than this. Thick and moisturizing. Doesn’t irritate skin. Best for dry skin and looks almost glassy but not oily and smooth. Better than the more expensive ones I’ve tried,’ while another says ‘LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!! I can’t say it enough. This product is magical. My skin was dry and dull and my aesthetician recommended this product and I’m in love. I have already gone through 2 products and I’ll coming back for more.’
A third loved mentioned that it’s suitable even on sensitive skin. ‘My skin feels incredibly soft. I bought the small tube to start with, and you genuinely only need a tiny bit. Definitely will buy again! Great for sensitive skin,’ she said.
Though it receives an average of 4.6 out of five stars from testers, Not everyone was convinced by the effects however, with one user saying, ‘I got this after reading all the good reviews and I also love the moisturizer spray from this brand. But this caused me to have the worst breakout.’
