Bora Barrier Rich Repair Cream with 6-Butterlipid Complex

When skin stops holding onto moisture — from over-exfoliating, sun, or simply time — Drunk Elephant Bora Barrier Rich Repair Cream is the heavy-duty answer. Built around a six-butter lipid complex, it's a rich cream for chronically dry skin and barriers that need rebuilding, with brand-run clinicals behind the 24-hour moisture claim.

What it actually does

• Repairs a stressed barrier. Drunk Elephant describes the formula as restoring a healthy skin barrier and encouraging skin's own production of collagen, lipids and hyaluronic acid — showing up as better elasticity and less visible redness.
• Six butters in one complex. The 6-Butterlipid Complex soothes, supports natural ceramide and hyaluronic acid synthesis, and protects moisture levels, per the brand.
• Calms redness with minerals. Zinc and copper gluconates bring anti-redness and antioxidant properties; rice-derived alpha glucan adds soothing hydration.
• Brand-reported clinicals (study of 33 people): 24-hour moisture, an immediate 98% moisture increase, measurable barrier strengthening within 8 hours, and improvements in lines, elasticity and firmness after 4 weeks. Individual results vary.
• Vegan, cruelty-free, recyclable packaging; listed for normal, dry, combination and oily skin.

How to use

1. Use one pump, morning and night, on clean, dry skin — daily, or alternated with another moisturiser.
2. It mixes with any Drunk Elephant serum, treatment or cream if you want to build it into one step.
3. Overnight rescue: the brand suggests combining it with their F-Balm for an ultra-rich mask you sleep in.
4. Recycling: pull off the cap, unscrew the pump from the white jar, and recycle the cap and jar.

Questions

How do I know my barrier is compromised?

Drunk Elephant points to common causes like overusing actives, sun damage and ageing. Typical signs are skin that feels tight and dry no matter what you apply, stings with normal products, or stays red. That's the state this cream is formulated for.

Is it too heavy for oily skin?

The brand lists oily and combination among the suitable skin types. If your skin is oily, you may prefer it as a night step or in rotation with a lighter moisturiser.
