When your barrier is functioning correctly
Your acid mantle’s microbiome is perfectly balanced.
And it is this that is the key to healthy skin.
As a clinical esthetician, I understand that skin health begins with a healthy moisture barrier – the protective wall – that locks moisture in and keeps irritants out.
Sadly over time, environmental stressors, age, harsh products and inappropriate treatments undermine essential ingredients in your skin, breaking down the barrier function and knocking your skin’s pH out of balance.
Studies (1) have found that as much as 50% of lipids can be lost from your skin, damaging this protective barrier.
Therefore, the more variety of lipids you replenish topically, the better your barrier will defend against many skin conditions ranging from premature ageing to severe dryness, breakouts or inflammation.
You can think of your protective barrier as the brick-and-mortar structure of your skin, containing “bricks” or skin cells. The ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids (lipids) are the “mortar” that holds the bricks together, preventing irritants and harmful bacteria from entering.
They are an integral part of your skin health and the key to a well-functioning barrier system – the essential armour (2) that has been scientifically proven to keep your skin healthy.
The essence of skin moisturising is lipid replacement. Fortify was created to do this with the perfect ratio of skin-identical ingredients that mimic the composition and structure of your skin.
Ingredients that integrate perfectly into the cells and the spaces between them to repair your barrier and heal many of its associated conditions such as extreme dryness, irritation, premature ageing, acne inflammation, sensitivity and more.

Ingredients
Ceramides: Extremely healing; they increase hydration and boost plumpness, prevent flaking, and heal an impaired barrier function.
Pohutukawa: Your skin fully recognises these deeply conditioning botanical extracts as identical to the nutritional building blocks of its structure, greatly enhancing its ability to strengthen and repair itself.
Fatty acids: They keep skin supple and nourished, supporting healthy, younger-looking skin
Macadamia Nut Oil: This skin-identical oil is rich in Oleic (Omega 9) and Linoleic (Omega 6) acids, which repair and help reduce water loss from your skin’s surface. Palmitoleic (Omega 7) acid is an active antimicrobial that helps to keep skin healthy.
Cholesterol: As ,much as 25% is found in your skin; a deficiency will impair your skins elasticity.

I bought one for myself and my daughter i loved the combination of ceramides and lipids and cholesterol in the formula. We are both very impressed with the product seeing really great results with our skin. Just placed another order thankyou
Samantha Miller –
Lovely review so pleased you are both getting great results
Britta –
Even though Quench is my new go to moisturizer for my dehydrated combination skin, I wanted something richer for night time or when my skin feels a bit compromised. Fortify’s texture is light and absorbs quickly, the scent reminds me of dark chocolate. It feels very nourishing and calming, but not heavy at all. I catch myself stroking my cheek at night, because my skin feels so smooth and soft, haha. I would totally recommend Fortify to anyone who feels their skin needs a little pick me up or barrier support. Every product I’ve tried so far has been a winner, and this is no exception.
Samantha Miller –
Hi Britta apologies we over looked this earlier but really love this review thank you so much it means so much. we will post it instagram. Ultimately we are just so pleased you are getting results with our products it means a lot this feedback really does.

I rarely review but I have eczema and purchased this moisturiser as part of the dry skin kit and wow what a difference the eczema on my legs is gone only on my ankle now
Samantha Miller –
Katie so pleased your eczema is healing, its what we stand for as a brand and why our founder created the company in the first place to heal her own eczema and psoriasis.
Nicki Brown –
This product has been a saviour for healing after an allergic reaction to a strong Vitamin C serum, which left me with angry red, cracking and itchy skin. I’m using this three times a day and I’m seeing rapid results, I will continue to use this along with the H20 for the foreseeable future. Thank you.
Samantha Miller –
Hi, Nicki Really pleased your poorly skin is getting such excellent results with Fortify. It’s not easy to heal damaged skin. It needs very specific skin-identical ingredients, which is what Fortify is specifically formulated for. So really pleased you are seeing some skin healing.

I just have to re-order the Fortify cream, it is that good!! I’ve been diagnosed with seborrhoeic dermatitis + mild rosacea and it’s been very difficult to find a moisturiser that calms my skin without breaking me out. I spoke with Sam about my condition and she suggested this cream with a slight adjustment to the ingredients (I know what my common irritants are). I notice that it’s worked very well to repair (and maintain) my skin barrier throughout winter. I thought I won’t need it in summer but I was wrong 😑 I found the summer temperature here (Victoria, Australia) is as dry as winter with very little humidity, so my skin is dry (cheek area) and dehydrated (T-zone). I like the elegant texture of this cream as well, not shiny, not matt, just the right consistency. I found her when researching about seb derm and another blogger pointed me to her blog I found very educational, I learned a lot about her own skin journey and various skincare ingredients from there too. Thanks Sam & team, you’ve made a difference to the way I look after my skin health. Cheers!!
Samantha Miller –
Hi, Sandy what a really wonderful review. We appreciate it has been a journey treating your skin but so happy with the results. Humidity, the sun an impaired barrier and your associated conditions are not easy to treat, But this well-thought-out moisturiser has been years in the making and tweaking for you, of course. to really help people heal their skin. Samantha
