Your skin stings when you cleanse, flares red in cold weather, and reacts to everything. The Bioderma Crealine Defensive Serum rebuilds your barrier so you can finally tolerate the products you love. Three weeks in, your skin stops acting out.

Key Benefits

  • Shields against daily aggressors: protects your barrier from pollution, temperature swings, and indoor heating
  • Calms tightness and sting: soothes reactive, uncomfortable skin within the first application
  • Hydrates without weight: squalane and glycerin replenish moisture while feeling invisible
  • Reduces future flare-ups: strengthens your skin's defenses so reactions happen less often over time
  • Supports your microbiome: Bioderma's ecobiology approach keeps good bacteria balanced
  • Safe for hypersensitive types: hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, tested on reactive skin

Key Ingredients

Carnosine: a peptide that shields against free radicals and slows visible aging triggered by pollution and UV exposure. Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid: a low-weight form that penetrates deeper to plump skin from within and hold moisture for hours. Squalane: a plant-based lipid that mimics your skin's natural oils, sealing in hydration without clogging pores. Salvia Miltiorrhiza Root Extract: a botanical active that soothes inflammation and calms redness. Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-10: a peptide that strengthens the barrier by promoting collagen synthesis and ceramide production.

How to Use

Apply morning and evening after cleansing. Dispense three to four drops onto your fingertips. Press gently into your face and neck using light upward motions. Do not rub. Wait one minute, then follow with your moisturizer to lock in the actives. Barrier repair is progressive, so give this at least four weeks of daily use before evaluating results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this with retinol or vitamin C?

Yes, this serum layers well under actives. Apply Crealine Defensive first to buffer your barrier, then follow with retinol or vitamin C. Wait two minutes between layers so each one absorbs fully before the next.

How is this different from Crealine AR anti-redness serum?

Crealine AR targets visible redness and broken capillaries with redness-reducing actives. Crealine Defensive prevents future flare-ups by reinforcing your barrier against environmental stress. Use AR if redness is your main concern, Defensive if sensitivity and reactivity are.

Will this help rosacea-prone skin?

This serum calms inflammation and strengthens the barrier, which can reduce rosacea flare-ups triggered by environmental stress. It does not treat rosacea itself. Always consult your dermatologist for persistent redness or diagnosed rosacea.

Does this feel heavy or greasy on oily skin?

No, the formula absorbs quickly and feels weightless. Squalane is a dry oil that mimics your skin's natural sebum, so it hydrates without adding shine or congestion. Oily and combination types tolerate it well.
