Great Barrier Relief is a natural shapeshifter. You can use it as a daily serum, substitute it for your moisturizer or as an acne treatment to transform a spot into a not.

The Best Things Come in 3's

GBR is loaded with Tamanu Oil, a breakout-clearing, texture-smoothing, manicure-giving (beta) active that replenishes skin. Paired with Safflower and Rosehip oil, this trio visibly calms redness and nourishes dry skin from the first swipe.

Millennial Parent Vibes

Niacinamide a.k.a. the soccer parent of skincare ingredients is a master multitasker. It helps prevent breakouts and fades the look of dark spots for radiant, even skin. That’s good parenting.

    I love this brand and its values. I love this product. I love the unique formula. I even love the divisive smell. I also love the concept od the easily cleanable and recyclable packaging. However, a nightmare scenario occurred for me last night due to the special pump. I was tired and went to remove the lid quickly. Unfortunately, I must have twisted it while I pulled and completely removed the cap and pump. The result was the product shooting out all over my hand, countertop, and floor. I was devastated. This was a nearly new bottle. My wonderful fiancé wasn’t mad and encouraged me to reorder it immediately. I did, but I hate to waste product. I ended up scooping it up and trying to use it as a body lotion. I ended up being very sticky, but my barrier was definitely supported!

    Not my favorite

    Smell is unpleasant, doesn't go away. Lotion is sticky and leaves a sticky film that's just not comfortable. Won't buy again.

    Hi Judy,

    Thank you for reaching out! We’re so sorry to hear that you’re experiencing discomfort regarding the Great Barrier Relief’s scent. You were correct when you mentioned the pungency of the product.

    As you may have been able to hear from our Founder & CEO, Liah Yoo's product introduction (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_HcZm9OjJ8), the inclusion of Tamanu oil as one of the key ingredients has created the natural scent that does not fit everyone's preference. KraveBeauty also avoids including fragrance in our products as it can cause irritation or reaction on the skin — which is another reason why the natural pungency was not masked!

    If you're experiencing physiological discomfort due to the scent, we kindly recommend that you discontinue the use of the product. If you have any other inquiries or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us again. Have a great day!

    I’ve been using Great Barrier Relief since it launched six years ago, and I just realized I’ve never left a review! This has been my most gentle and reliable skincare product from the start. I have sensitive, dry combination skin with eczema, and this is the only serum I’ve found that never stings or irritates me. That’s huge for me because I LOVE skincare and am constantly trying new things.

    Whenever my skin is extra sensitive or stressed, I simplify my routine to just a gentle cleanser and this—and it always helps. I also really admire Krave for keeping the price so reasonable all these years.
