If there’s one non-negotiable in every effective skincare routine, it’s hydration and barrier support. Without a strong, balanced skin barrier, even the most advanced serums won’t deliver their full potential. At Pt78 Skin and Body, we combine cutting-edge SkinCeuticals formulas with our own Australian-made natural skincare to help you build resilient, glowing skin.

Why hydration and barrier repair matter

Your skin barrier is like a shield — protecting you from environmental aggressors, pollution, and moisture loss. When it’s compromised, you may notice:

Dryness and flakiness
Increased sensitivity
Fine lines appearing more prominent
Breakouts or redness

Restoring hydration and supporting barrier lipids are the first steps to lasting skin health.
