Ingredient breakdown
INGREDIENTSBifida Ferment LysatePromising
A probiotic ingredient derived from Bifida bacteria fermentation. Used famously in Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair, it helps protect against UV-induced damage, supports DNA repair, and strengthens the skin barrier by balancing the microbiome.
- Research: A study showed that applying 10% bacterial extract to sensitive, reactive skin improved barrier function and decreased skin sensitivity.
- Mechanism: Helps balance skin microbiota, supporting the skin’s natural defense system against environmental stressors and irritants.
Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii) ~3-5%Proven
A rich emollient packed with fatty acids (stearic and linoleic acid) and antioxidants. Creates a protective film on the skin to trap moisture and prevent transepidermal water loss, making it highly effective for dry and damaged skin.
- Fatty Acids: Rich in stearic acid and linoleic acid which help replenish and maintain skin moisture.
- Antioxidant: Contains vitamins A and E that help fight free radical damage.
Glycerin ~5-8%Proven
A powerful humectant naturally found in the skin. Pulls moisture into deeper skin layers and helps maintain the skin lipids in a healthy liquid crystal state, improving barrier function and protection against irritants.
- Study (2016): Found to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid at comparable concentrations.
- Comedogenicity: Rated 0 — completely non-comedogenic and non-irritating.
SqualaneProven
A stable, saturated hydrocarbon that mimics the skin’s natural sebum. Provides lightweight, non-greasy hydration while forming a protective barrier. Compatible with all skin types including acne-prone skin.
- Biocompatibility: Structurally identical to squalene naturally produced by human skin, ensuring excellent tolerance.
- Stability: Unlike squalene, squalane is fully saturated, giving it a long shelf life with no oxidation risk.
AllantoinProven
A soothing workhorse ingredient with protective and moisturizing properties. Helps calm irritated skin, promotes wound healing at higher concentrations, and interferes with hyperpigmentation to help reduce dark spots and uneven tone.
- Wound Healing: Studies show higher concentrations of allantoin can promote wound healing and skin regeneration.
- Brightening: Interferes with the hyperpigmentation process, helping to fade dark spots over time.
BisabololProven
A potent antioxidant with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Helps fight free radicals, slows signs of aging, and enhances the absorption of other active ingredients. Also acts as a natural preservative booster.
- Absorption Enhancer: Improves penetration and efficacy of other active ingredients in the formula.
- Anti-inflammatory: Helps calm redness and irritation, making it ideal for sensitive skin formulas.
Sodium HyaluronateProven
The salt form of hyaluronic acid with a smaller molecular size that allows deeper skin penetration. An excellent humectant that attracts and holds water, providing long-lasting hydration from within the skin layers.
- Penetration: Smaller molecular weight than hyaluronic acid allows it to reach deeper skin layers for enhanced hydration.
- Natural: Naturally occurring in the human body, primarily found in eye fluid and joints.
Revive Complex (Phragmites Karka, Poria Cocos, Mirabilis Jalapa Extracts)Promising
Labore’s proprietary botanical complex combining three plant extracts. Phragmites Karka (reed grass) provides soothing properties, Poria Cocos (mushroom) offers anti-inflammatory benefits, and Mirabilis Jalapa (four o’clock flower) helps reduce redness and irritation.
- Synergy: Together these extracts target multiple pathways of skin sensitivity for comprehensive calming effects.
- Clinical: Part of Labore’s clinically tested formula shown to reduce sensitive skin signs within 15 minutes.

How to use
HOW TO USECleanse & Prep
Start with a clean face using a gentle cleanser. Pat skin dry with a soft towel, leaving it slightly damp for better absorption.
Dispense the Right Amount
Take approximately two fingertip lengths of cream. This is enough for full face coverage without wasting product.
Apply Evenly
Dot the cream across forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. Gently spread and blend into the skin using upward and outward motions until fully absorbed.
Follow with Sunscreen (AM)
In the morning, always follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen. Pairs well with Labore Biomeprotect Physical Sunscreen SPF 45. At night, this can be your final step.

Frequently asked questions
FAQYes, Labore Barrier Revive Cream is considered safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding. It does not contain any retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, or chemical sunscreens. The formula is free from fragrance, alcohol, and parabens, making it gentle enough for use during pregnancy. However, always consult your healthcare provider before introducing new skincare products during pregnancy.
Use with caution. While Labore Barrier Revive Cream is oil-free and does not contain common fungal acne triggers like fermented oils or polysorbates, it does contain Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii Butter) and PEG-100 Stearate, which some sources flag as potentially feeding Malassezia yeast. If you are prone to fungal acne, patch test first or consider the Labore Skin Nutrition Gel as a lighter alternative.
Yes, this cream works beautifully with active ingredients. It is especially recommended as a companion to retinol treatments, as it helps soothe irritation and rebuild the barrier that retinol can temporarily weaken. For vitamin C, apply the serum first, then follow with this cream. For AHA/BHA, use the exfoliant first, allow it to absorb, then apply this cream to calm and protect the skin. The citric acid in the formula is present only as a pH adjuster, not at exfoliating concentrations.
Labore Barrier Revive Cream is formulated for all skin types, but it truly excels for sensitive, dry, and combination skin. It was clinically tested on individuals with sensitive skin in tropical climates. Those with oily skin can use it primarily at night or in smaller amounts. The rich cream texture delivers deep hydration that dry and dehydrated skin will love, while remaining comfortable enough for daily use in warm, humid environments.
You can expect immediate soothing within 15 minutes of the first application — reduced redness, stinging, and discomfort. Hydration improvement (+50%) can be felt from the first use. For barrier strengthening and long-term skin resilience, expect visible improvement within 2–4 weeks of consistent daily use. Full microbiome rebalancing and lasting barrier health typically takes 4–8 weeks of regular application.
Apply Labore Barrier Revive Cream as the moisturizer step in your routine, typically step 3 or 4. The recommended order is: Cleanser → Toner → Serum/Treatment → Labore Barrier Revive Cream → Sunscreen (AM only). It can be used morning and evening. About 38% of users in the community use it in both AM and PM routines. It can also be applied to dry body areas that need extra hydration.
No, Labore Barrier Revive Cream is clinically tested to be non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic, meaning it will not clog pores or cause acne breakouts. The overall comedogenic rating is 1 out of 5 (very low). While some individual ingredients like cetearyl alcohol have moderate comedogenic potential, the overall formulation has been designed and tested to be pore-friendly. It is safe for acne-prone skin when used as directed.
Labore Barrier Revive Cream has a Period After Opening (PAO) of 12 months. This means you should use the product within 12 months of first opening it. The product contains preservatives (Chlorphenesin, Caprylhydroxamic Acid, Sodium Benzoate, 1,2-Hexanediol) to maintain stability. Store in a cool, dry place and keep the lid tightly closed. The sealed, unopened product has an expiry date printed on the packaging (typically 3 years from manufacture).
Verdict: Labore Barrier Revive Cream is an outstanding barrier-repair moisturizer, especially impressive given its affordable price point. The Microbiome Technology™ with Bifida Ferment Lysate sets it apart from typical barrier creams, and its clinically proven ability to reduce sensitive skin signs within 15 minutes is genuinely remarkable. The rich yet fast-absorbing texture works surprisingly well in tropical climates. Ideal for anyone with a compromised barrier, sensitive skin, or post-treatment irritation. The only drawbacks are limited international availability and the presence of shea butter for those with fungal acne concerns. For Indonesian skincare enthusiasts, this is a must-try that competes with pricier imported alternatives like La Roche-Posay Cicaplast.

Understanding Parabens
Parabens are a large group of preservatives which are used to prevent bacteria growing in cosmetic formulations. There has been some healthy controversy surrounding them due to a few studies finding paraben presence in breast tumours and breast tissue.

Understanding Simple Alcohols
Alcohol ingredients are widely used in cosmetics and come in different types. For the most part alcohols are not problematic at all. However one type of alcohols, simple alcohols can be quite drying to the skin because it evaporates very quickly. This can cause irritation which can also lead to other skin complications. These alcohols should never be used alone on your skin, but combined with other cosmetic ingredients, they are normally without issue. However, for some people with sensitive and easily irritable skin, avoiding products with these simple alcohols may be beneficial.

Silicone-Free
Silicone-Free
Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

EU Allergen-Free
EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

Pro Tip Alert!
A product that contains good or bad ingredients for your skin type doesn't always flat out make the entire product good or bad for your skin. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine your skins reaction.
One of the best ways to use this section is to troubleshoot products you've had bad experiences with in the past. Check if it contains any of the marked ingredients to point out suspect ingredients to avoid in the future!

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
