The highly effective synergy of a powerful tripeptide, innovative polyglutamic acid, and a multidimensional hyaluronic acid complex binds moisture within the skin, protecting it from dehydration. Skin becomes visibly plumper, denser, smoother, and more balanced. At the heart of every BABOR formula are visible results: the Hydro Replenishing Gel Cream, the more advanced successor to the Hyaluron Cream, boosts skin moisture with a potent 3.5% multimolecular hyaluronic acid complex, polyglutamic acid, and tripeptide, optimising moisture distribution within the cells.

The formula is clean and 100% vegan. The Barrier Balance cleansing lotion is free from silicones, parabens, mineral oils, PEGs, microplastics, and unnecessary additives. Developed by BABOR experts in Aachen, Germany, it reflects the highest quality standards. “Made in Germany” stands as a seal of trust for this product and for the entire BABOR range. Its refreshing, lightweight texture blends effectiveness with sensorial comfort for dry and dehydrated skin, leaving it nourished and fully hydrated. A delicate unisex fragrance of cold-pressed bergamot, lemon, and orange with a soft hint of geranium unfolds during use, offering a pleasant moment of self-care.

The unique composition of low-, medium-, and high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acids delivers intensive, immediate, and long-lasting hydration thanks to the broad spectrum of molecular sizes. Biotechnologically derived low-molecular hyaluronic acid penetrates deeper layers, enhancing moisture retention, elasticity, and firmness. Additional high-performance hyaluronic acids provide rapid epidermal replenishment for instant plumping and smoothing, visibly reducing wrinkle depth. They also strengthen the skin barrier and improve the penetration of both lipophilic and hydrophilic active ingredients. Polyglutamic acid (0.5%), also known as PGA, is a natural polymer derived through the biotechnological fermentation of soybeans. Renowned for its exceptional moisture-binding properties, it forms a protective film on the skin’s surface, minimizing moisture loss and significantly increasing the skin’s moisture storage capacity. Scientific studies show that PGA can hold up to four times more moisture than hyaluronic acid, making the skin appear instantly smoother and more elastic. It also inhibits hyaluronidase—the enzyme that breaks down natural hyaluronic acid—thereby stabilizing and increasing the skin’s own HA levels and enhancing natural moisturising factors (NMF). PGA also promotes the skin’s own hyaluronic acid synthesis.

As we age and due to environmental stressors, the skin gradually loses its ability to synthesize its own hyaluronic acid. To counter this process—which may begin as early as the age of 20—the HY-3 peptide (2.5%) stimulates the skin’s natural hyaluronan production, strengthening tissue resilience. It also increases the production of essential proteins that reinforce collagen fibres, resulting in firmer, fuller, and more recontoured skin. The 3D Xylitol derivative, a multifunctional humectant made from natural sugar compounds, acts as a protective shield against dehydration by stimulating the formation of aquaporins—membrane proteins responsible for water transport within the skin. This sustainably optimises water circulation and moisture distribution while maintaining ideal intracellular hydration. It also supports the synthesis of essential lipids (ceramides) and hyaluronic acid, reinforcing the skin barrier and enhancing moisture retention. Skin appears smoother, fresher, and more supple.

Aloe moss extract, sustainably sourced, enhances cell-to-cell communication, optimising moisture distribution while reducing signs of ageing and providing soothing, regenerative benefits. Olive-derived squalane supports the skin’s natural protective barrier, prevents moisture loss, softens fine lines, reduces redness, and leaves the skin silky-smooth. Biogen Plant Extract protects the skin from environmental stress. This refined botanical complex, derived from eight potent plants and perfected over six decades, is a true masterpiece of modern cosmetic science. Its synergy of secondary plant compounds, phenols, and flavonoids revitalises the skin, protects against free radicals and oxidative stress, and supports the skin’s microbiome. With each use, it boosts the skin’s natural processes for a more vital, strengthened, and balanced complexion.

The unparalleled hydrating effect locks moisture deep within the skin and protects against transepidermal water loss. With regular use, fine lines and wrinkles are visibly reduced, while the skin regains vitality and a radiant freshness. Enriched with the exclusive DOCTOR BABOR Biogen Plant Extract, the skin’s natural functions are stimulated, promoting a youthful resilience. The Hydro Replenishing Gel Cream delivers immediate hydration to dry skin, supports long-lasting moisture retention, and leaves a fresh, dense, luminous appearance. Skin remains optimally hydrated for up to 24 hours, feeling intensely cared for. Dehydration lines are reduced, and the complexion appears more plump, revitalized, and radiant.

Apply morning and evening after cleansing, ideally after the DOCTOR BABOR Hydro Filler serum or the Hydration 10D Hyaluronic Acid Ampoule Serum Concentrate, on the face, neck, and décolleté. Massage gently.
