Drunk Elephant Bora Barrier Repair Cream - Ultra-Rich Moisturizer - Clean Clinical Skincare - Cruelty-Free - Dermatologist-Tested - Free of Essential Oils, Silicones, and Fragrance

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.

Like the deep moisture but the price is too high to use as my only regular moisturizer

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.

LOVE THIS!!! From someone who has dry skin in winter to oily skin in summer after washing your face at night and putting this on. You don't need anything in the morning. My skin glows and it doesn't break me out. Even having acne prone skin.

The best thick, creamy, skin barrier cream. I use as my regular night moisturizer after tretinoin and it does a great job. Can be used under eyes as well.

I normally buy this from Ulta, but needed quick delivery so I came to Amazon. This formula is noticeably thinner and less moisturizing than the real deal. It's either been substituted or mixed with a cheaper moisturizer. You'll have to look elsewhere for the bona fide product.

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
