Most moisturisers declare a single ceramide and call it barrier repair. CutiShield delivers Ceramide NP, AP and EOP with cholesterol and phytosphingosine — the full set your skin uses to rebuild — at 1%.

Tight, Stinging, Flaky? That's Not Dryness.
Your skin barrier may be damaged. CutiShield is designed to rebuild your barrier.
Your skin stings? You over-stripped it.
Three everyday things strip the lipids that hold water in:
- Actives on repeat
- Hot showers and hard water
- Heat-to-AC swings, all day
- Long term steroid cream use
The result shows up as stinging sunscreen, flakes, and skin that's oily and tight at once.
Five skin-identical lipids. Every active dosed to work.
Four jobs, four ingredients that earn their place:
- Rebuild — Ceramide NP, AP, EOP + cholesterol + phytosphingosine, 1%
- Regulate — 5% Niacinamide, low-nicotinic-acid grade, no flushing
- Hydrate — 8-form hyaluronic acid + Aquaxyl™ 1.5%
- Soothe — Aloe 5%, rice extract 2%
Your skin gets the material to rebuild with, and the signal to make more of its own.
How Does It Feel On Skin?
Sinks in under a minute. Holds all day.
A gel-cream formulated for Indian humidity, not Korean winters:
- No sticky film
- No pilling under sunscreen
- No added fragrance
Airless pump means every dose is fresh — ceramides degrade in open jars.
Who Should Use This?
For skin that's been trying too hard.
Reach for CutiShield if:
- Sunscreen stings going on
- You use actives more than twice a week
- Skin is oily and tight at the same time
Safe for all skin types and pregnancy.

Find answers to common questions about CutiShield Barrier Defense Cream.
It's formulated to be non-comedogenic† and it's a gel-cream rather than a heavy balm, specifically because oily and acne-prone skin in humid climates needs barrier support too. As with any new product, patch-test on the jawline for two days first.
It does the job of one and more. A moisturiser adds water. CutiShield supplies the lipids that hold water in, which is why it's called a barrier cream. You don't need a separate moisturiser on top.
Yes — that's largely who it's for. Apply your active first, let it absorb, then CutiShield. If your skin is currently stinging or flaking, pause the actives and use CutiShield alone for two weeks first.
It's formulated to layer under CutiBlock-IR. Give it about a minute to set before the sunscreen and use two pumps rather than four — pilling is almost always an over-application problem.
The formula contains no retinoids so its generally safe. As always, run any routine past your own doctor during pregnancy.
