ETUDE | SoonJung 2x Barrier Intensive Cream | 60 mL

Gentle Barrier Restoration for Calm, Resilient-Looking Skin

The SoonJung 2x Barrier Intensive Cream is a hypoallergenic moisturiser from ETUDE's SoonJung line — a range developed with sensitive skin at its core, backed by over 30 years of sensitive-skin research. It is formulated to help restore the skin's moisture barrier while maintaining a balanced, comfortable complexion.

At the heart of this cream is Panthensoside — ETUDE's proprietary blend of Panthenol and Madecassoside — designed to work in tandem to support the skin barrier and help soothe the appearance of irritation. Combined with Shea Butter and Sunflower Seed Oil, the formula delivers nourishment and hydration in a way that feels substantial yet absorbs without heaviness.

Formulated at a pH of 5.5 — closely aligned with the skin's natural pH — the cream helps support a healthier-looking skin environment. It is free of 10 common potential irritants, including fragrance, parabens, mineral oil, silicone oil, and synthetic pigment, making it well suited to reactive and compromised skin. Luxiface

Key Ingredients

Panthenol

Panthenol is a derivative of Vitamin B5 and a well-established skincare ingredient known for its hydrating and skin-conditioning properties.

In this cream, it helps support the skin's moisture barrier and contributes to a more comfortable, soothed-looking complexion — particularly for skin that feels dry or compromised.

Madecassoside

Madecassoside is a purified compound derived from Centella asiatica, a plant long used in traditional wellness practices across East Asia.

Here, it works alongside Panthenol as part of ETUDE's Panthensoside blend, helping to soothe the appearance of irritation and support the skin's natural protective function.

Shea Butter

Shea butter is a plant-derived fat extracted from the nut of the shea tree, widely used in skincare for its emollient properties.

It helps improve the skin's surface texture and contributes to a softer, more nourished-looking finish — particularly beneficial for drier or more sensitised skin.

Sunflower Seed Oil

Sunflower seed oil is a lightweight plant oil rich in linoleic acid, a fatty acid that supports the skin's lipid barrier.

In this formulation, it helps replenish the skin's surface lipids, contributing to a smoother and more balanced-looking complexion.

Tocopherol (Vitamin E)

Tocopherol is a naturally occurring antioxidant form of Vitamin E found widely in skincare.

It helps protect the skin's surface from oxidative stress and supports overall skin comfort and conditioning.

Texture

The cream has a smooth, creamy consistency that spreads easily across the skin with minimal effort. It absorbs at a steady pace — neither instant nor slow — leaving behind a soft, slightly dewy finish without stickiness or residue. On sensitive or compromised skin, it settles comfortably without a sense of heaviness, making it suitable for layering under SPF in the morning or using as the final step of an evening routine.

How To Use

1. Cleanse and tone the skin as usual.
2. Apply any treatment serums or essences and allow them to absorb.
3. Dispense a small amount of cream onto fingertips.
4. Smooth evenly across the face and neck, then gently press into the skin to encourage absorption.

Use morning and evening as the final step in your skincare routine.
