Bora Barrier Repair Cream by Drunk Elephant for Women 1.69 oz

The cream is ok. The “top dispenser style” is a push down, wipe your finger and pop-up cream across the same surface repeatedly. I see this as a health hazard with repeated use by one person and a potentially further health hazard if more people use the container of cream to moisten their face.

I LOVE this stuff! I have always had dry skin, and as I got older it became more prone to acne and dark spots. This forced me to use more actives in my skincare routine, ultimately drying out my skin further. I needed a super heavy moisturizing cream, and this is heaviest I have ever found. I use it twice a day, and am FINALLY looking dewy and hydrated. It also hasn't caused any breakouts. That said, this is probably too heavy for greasy or moderate skin types. I also really like the eco-friendly aspects of the product. It can be hard to find quality skincare that makes at least some effort to reduce their environmental impact.

Drunk Elephant has done it again with the Bora Barrier Repair Cream — this moisturizer is a game-changer for anyone dealing with dryness, sensitivity, or a compromised skin barrier. The texture is luxuriously rich but sinks in beautifully without feeling greasy or heavy. It’s packed with ceramides, omega fatty acids, and soothing ingredients like oat extract, which instantly calm irritated skin and deliver long-lasting hydration. What sets this apart is how balanced it feels: nourishing enough for nighttime recovery, but light enough to wear under makeup during the day. After just a few uses, my skin looked noticeably plumper and less reactive. It’s fragrance-free (great for sensitive skin) and doesn’t clog pores or cause breakouts. It’s on the pricier side, but a little goes a long way — and the results are worth it. A holy grail for barrier repair.

I feel this was fake, I compared to a prior purchase, packaging is wrong, legal stamps were wrong, feel of the cream was more like a hand lotion

Feels very moisturizing but it has a smell that I do not like. I’ve used drunk elephant with the green top and I like it much better . It’s not as thick and doesn’t smell
