Samantha's Clinical Advice

The Barrier Defence Behind Beautiful Skin

If your skin feels dry, reactive, or prematurely aged, your barrier may be calling out for repair. Daily exposure to UV rays, pollution, and harsh treatments can weaken this vital shield—leaving skin fragile, inflamed, and vulnerable.

That’s why I created Xcell: to help restore what your skin has gradually lost over time.

Formulated to mimic the skin’s structure, Xcell delivers a concentrated blend of skin-identical ceramides, squalane, omegas 3, 6, and 9, and potent antioxidants. These “lock and key” ingredients are instantly recognised and absorbed, rebuilding the lipid matrix, calming inflammation, regulating oil flow, and strengthening your skin’s natural defences.

In clinical studies, 12 weeks of consistent use visibly improved hydration, clarity, and firmness—while restoring the skin’s cellular resilience.

The result? Skin becomes calm, deeply nourished, restored to balance, and beautifully radiant.

Benefits

  • Restores a healthy, resilient barrier
  • Intensely nourishes and moisturises
  • Balances sebum and regulates oil flow
  • Lightens dark spots and evens skin tone
  • Soothes sensitivity and calms visible redness
  • Bright orange antioxidants neutralise free radicals
  • Boosts collagen production, improving fine lines

How to use

Daily ritual: At sunrise and sunset, apply 3–5 drops to your face, neck, décolleté, hands, or anywhere in need of deep nourishment.

Pro tip 1: Mix Xcell with Fortify cream for the ultimate barrier-repair smoothie that seals in long-lasting hydration.

Pro tip 2: For an ultra-nourishing boost, layer Boost Barrier Repair Tonic beneath Xcell — perfect for dry or reactive skin that requires extra care.

Pro tip 3: For a buttery overnight rescue, apply Xcell, then follow with Barrier Repair Balm. Wake to skin that feels soft, supple, and dewy.

Key Ingredients

Ceramides: These essential lipids help rebuild the skin’s barrier, significantly reducing moisture loss and protecting against environmental stressors like UV radiation and pollution. Skin becomes plump, resilient, and visibly healthier.

Phytosphingosine: A natural lipid found in the upper layers of the skin, offers antimicrobial and cell-communicating benefits. It helps calm irritation, promotes renewal, and reinforces the skin’s natural defences.

Pōhutukawa Extract: Native to New Zealand, this botanical mimics the skin’s building blocks to support repair, replenish nutrients, and enhance barrier strength for visibly restored skin.

Sea Buckthorn Oil: Rich in linoleic acid, vitamins E and K, carotenoids, and phytosterols, this golden oil promotes regeneration, strengthens the barrier, and protects against free radicals that contribute to premature ageing.

Pomegranate Seed Oil: High in punicic acid, it helps stimulate ceramide production to enhance moisture retention and elasticity, leaving the skin soft, smooth, and supple.

Evening Primrose Oil: A source of gamma-linolenic and linoleic acids, it helps restore elasticity, strengthen the skin barrier, and reduce signs of ageing for a more youthful, radiant complexion.

Vitamin E: A potent oil-soluble antioxidant that defends against free radical damage while supporting the skin’s natural repair processes.

  1. Star –

    I love, love, LOVE this barrier-repairing product! Not only does it contain certain oils which my skin has long had an affinity for (i.e., sea buckthorn seed, pomegranate seed, jojoba, etc.), but it has even more wonderful ingredients added to the mix like: ceramides, pohotukawa extract and vitamin E. My skin is currently still recovering from having a compromised barrier and XCELL seems to be expediting the healing process. I’ve noticed in just the past few weeks of using it on a routine basis, that my skin is beginning to look more like its usual self again – on top of feeling incredibly soft, plump, soothed and with a definitive well-nourished glow. I’m also pleased to report my skin is feeling less ‘upset’ and more tolerant again (I even have my favorite hydrosol/facial mist on today for the first time in months and so far, so good!). I’m using XCELL either in conjunction with the amazing Fortify Barrier Repair Cream, or on its own with another seed oil my skin enjoys. With Fortify, I mix a few drops of this remarkable ‘skin shot’ in with a small dollop of the cream in my hand before applying. I am also using the H20 skin shot at times and am soon to phase in the Miracle Cleanse (which I’m really looking forward to trying). Because the shipping costs turned out to be more than what they were when I placed my order, Samantha was kind and generous enough to have sent me a complimentary full-size bottle of XCELL so I could try it. I’m beyond glad she did because , so far, it’s The Naked Chemist product I adore the most – to the point that I’m likely hooked on it for life! My skin and I thank you so much!
