So why would I review a product that I don’t own a full size tube of? Because it’s that good!
I’m a big fan of First Aid Beauty. In fact, I’m starting on a big full size tube of FAB Pure Skin Face Cleanser now after having used several travel size tubes from my Ipsy and Sephora Play bags in the past. PS I got the full size tube of FAB Cleanser in my Ipsy Glam Bag Plus!
Back to the new Ultra Repair BarriAIR Cream. I saw an ad on Facebook, of course, offering a free travel size tube, and you know I can never pass up something free from a brand that I love. I signed up for emails from FAB, and I received the product about a week later. I also got a coupon code for 15% off any FAB purchase.
The Ultra Repair BarriAIR Cream is a white gel-cream. It’s fragrance-free. And it reminds me of Belif Moisture Bomb. Although initially the cream seems as if it is going to be thick, it actually isn’t. It feels light but very hydrating on the skin. However, I found it to be a perfect night cream. I use a few serums, and it felt like I was applying a sleeping mask on top. I loved it.
Here’s some background info from FAB on what’s in it and how it works that I think is worth knowing:
“Ultra Repair BarriAIR Cream contains lipids that bio-mimic the natural composition of the skin barrier*, helping to fortify it and maintain its healthy state. Triple-Weight Hyaluronic Acid, a powerful humectant, helps draw external moisture into skin while adaptive hydration technology aids in stimulating the skin’s ability to replenish its internal moisture reserves as needed. Colloidal Oatmeal and antioxidant-rich Vitamin E help calm, soothe and condition skin for an allover healthy, glowing complexion.
Ultra Repair BarriAIR Cream features an innovative Oxygen technology that helps deliver actives more deeply into skin. This technology reacts with air, causing the cream to foam and shrink so it appears to always be on the move. As the cream expands, it is transformed into a unique foam.”
Frankly, I don’t know about the “foam” analogy because it went on smoothly. They must mean that’s how it acts on or under the skin?
Although FAB Ultra Repair BarriAIR Cream is recommended for normal and combination skin, it worked very well on top of my serums for my dry skin. It’s also allergy-tested and safe for sensitive skin. Here’s all the stuff that it doesn’t have in it:
-

The key ingredients include:
- CERAMIDES: A lipid that naturally occurs in skin that helps strengthen the skin barrier and moisturize.
- LINOLEIC ACID: A lipid that naturally occurs in skin that helps fortify and restore the skin barrier.
- TRI-MOLECULAR WEIGHT HYALURONIC ACID: Hyaluronic Acid, a powerful humectant in three molecular sizes, that helps boost skin’s moisture content, plump and smooth skin on multiple levels.
- COLLOIDAL OATMEAL: Helps calm and soothe dry or distressed skin.
I could definitely tell that it had ceramides and HA in the formula.
A 1.5 oz. tube is priced at $30, not a bad price. First time purchasers on the FAB website can get 15% off plus Ebates cashback. It’s also sold at Sephora, Ulta, Dermstore, and QVC. After I make a dent in all the skincare that I have, I will buy a full tube. The lightweight consistency will be perfect for warmer weather to come!
Have you heard about this new moisturizer from FAB? Any interest?

My facial skin loves colloidal oatmeal, I may need to pick this cream up. FAB is such a great choice fornsensitive skin – and this must be if you are in love after a trial use! Thanks for the review!
I’ve been a fan of Aveeno because of the colloidal oatmeal especially when I’ve had hives. The FAB Ultra Repair BarriAIR Cream is a nice one for sure. Worth sampling if you’re at Sephora or Ulta
That sounds perfect for winter!
Or summer which is when I plan to use it 😉
I have 3 tubes of FAB Ultra Repair Cream that I bought back in December that I forgot about until this post. This is not the Barriair cream but Intense Hydration Cream. I bought it for the Colloidal Oatmeal to use in our Michigan winters. Needless to say I just put one tube in the bathroom, one on my vanity table and the third here in my basket next to my iPad. Thanks for the nudge.
Because I am a fan of FAB Ultra Repair Cream, I jumped on it when I saw the free sample of the new BarriAIR Cream. Wow, I am impressed that you have 3 tubes of the Ultra Repair Cream all around your house! It’s a wonderful formula, perfect for sensitive skin especially in winter. If you see a sample or travel size of the BarriAIR Cream in your travels, pick one up for summer. It’s a lighter weight and slightly different formula. Another great FAB product!
This sounds like a fantastic product. The ingredients and texture of it sound like skincare perfection.
I think the FAB Ultra Repair BarriAIR Cream is a nice addition to the Ultra Repair family!
I would honestly try any lotion because of this weather. This one sounds great!
In the winter, our skin definitely needs a good moisturizer no matter where you live!
My skin is so dry this time of the year. Sounds like a nice product!
BarriAIR is a very nice addition to the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair line. It’s good for somewhat warmer climates, and it feels sort of like a sleeping mask. Love it!
I haven’t heard of this one, but I have used the original off and on for years.
This one emphasizes strengthening the skin barrier, and it’s a little lighter weight than the original. I will pick up a tube for the warmer weather.
You had me at fragrance free. I’ve loved all the FAB products I’ve used that don’t have fragrance and this sounds like a winner.
I think it will be particularly wonderful as the temperatures warm up. It’s lighter weight than the original Ultra Repair Cream. Love it!
This sounds like a fantastic cream. I think that my skin would love it.
This sounds like it was made for me! I have dry sensitive skin that’s going crazy this season!
I think the new FAB Ultra Repair BarriAIR would suit your skin and climate too!
FAB makes a lot of great skin care
This cream sounds really nice, and good for my skin type. I used to have a face wash from FAB that I really loved.
My very first Canadian winter is wreaking havoc on my skin! My elbows and my heels could use this desperately!
I like that you said its fragrance free!
They make awesome products. I think it definitely sounds worthwhile
The formula of this sounds amazing.This crazy polar vortex has sucked the moisture out of my skin and I think this would be amazing.
This sounds like a miracle worker in these cold?dry skin months.
