Barrier-repair serum with hexapeptide-9, bilberry omegas & hyaluronic network
The Cellular Hydration Barrier Repair Serum is a concentrated treatment formulated to repair and reinforce the skin’s moisture barrier while delivering deep hydration. Powered by biomimetic hexapeptide-9 to emulate barrier-reinforcing peptides, refined bilberry seed oil providing omegas 3 & 6, and a layered hyaluronic acid network to lock in water, the formula works swiftly and effectively. In just one use you’ll feel skin smoother and by morning notice less visible redness and a stronger barrier. The lightweight yet rich serum texture absorbs quickly and layers seamlessly under your moisturizer.
Designed for all skin types, including dry, combination, oily and sensitive, this serum targets barrier-related concerns like visible redness, rough texture, dehydration and compromised resilience. Maintaining a strong barrier is foundational for skin that looks smooth, radiant and youthful. Murad’s clinical data shows visible improvement in barrier strength, texture and redness with regular use. Use it morning and night to set a resilient foundation for your entire skincare routine.
- Who it’s best for: Skin that feels dry, tight, rough, red or looks fatigued from barrier loss
- What makes it different: A serum focused on repairing the barrier at a cellular level, so your actives and makeup perform better

- Texture appears smoother and more uniform.
Clinical Results:
- Based on a 4-week clinical study with 47 participants (Fitzpatrick types 1-6) showing barrier improvement, reduction in redness and smoother skin.
Study details: Murad internal clinical trial, n=47, 4 weeks.
How To Use Cellular Hydration Barrier Repair Serum
- AM & PM: After cleansing and drying, apply an even layer of serum onto face and neck.
- Follow with your moisturizer and SPF during the day.

Pro Tip (from estheticians): On nights after actives or exfoliation, use this serum as your first step to restore barrier strength, then skip heavy actives—let skin repair.
