A creamy, nourishing serum that calms signs of sensitivity caused by a broken skin barrier. A blend of nourishing oils and rebalancing actives restore damaged skin to clear breakouts and soothe irritation. Skin looks clear, feels calm, and probably sounds amazing.
A Calming Hand
Our skin and the environment don’t always get along. Whether it’s because you’re a city dweller or got too pump-happy with the retinol, your skin needs some back up. Great Barrier Relief is there to lend a hand, no bat symbol required. GBR works by repairing damage in the skin barrier—the skin’s invisible shield. It helps repair tears and strengthen the barrier wall to kick environmental aggressors to the curb.
PETA-certified vegan and cruelty-free.
Tamanu Oil: Soothes irritation and calms redness without greasiness. Niacinamide: Helps clear spots, fades discoloration, and brightens skin. Ceramides: Essential to skin health—helps replenish fatty building blocks of the skin barrier.
The color and texture of Great Barrier Relief may naturally vary slightly from batch to batch. No worries! This is a normal occurrence when using naturally-derived ingredients and it does not impact the efficacy of the formula.
NOTE: Great Barrier Relief does contain 10% Tamanu Oil, which is derived from Tamanu nuts. Though most people don’t have issues using this ingredient, people with nut allergies could have a potential reaction. If you think your skin will react, we recommend performing a 24-hour patch test on your wrist and neck first and slowly integrating GBR into your routine thereafter. If you do experience an allergic reaction, stop using the product immediately and seek medical attention if needed.

Why it works: Water-based cream to hydrate, oil-based serum to seal it in.
How to use: Can be mixed together or applied in any order.
Extra tip: Apply moisturizer liberally but apply serum in layers to prevent greasiness.

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.
New Look, Same Old Fave
GBR’s glowed up. Our OG tried-and-true serum is now in an airless pump that pushes out every bit of product, so you don’t need to break it open. Don’t do it, bestie... Just trust us.
SKINSTRUCTIONS
How to Use Your Serum
Apply 1-2 pumps on clean, dry skin. Use a little extra for dry skin and a little less for oily skin. Gently massage into the skin until fully absorbed. If using as a sensitive spot treatment, use light pats or apply with a q-tip.

Age: 25-34
“Not only does Great Barrier Relief reinforce my skin barrier, at the same time, it also helps fade dark spots. Its hero ingredient is tamanu oil, which gives it this sage green color and its earthy smell. Thanks to me, this is also my mother's favorite skincare product.

Real Customers, Honest Words
- MCMichelle C.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoAwesome Barrier Relief
My skin can’t get enough of Great Barrier Relief. I use it twice a day to help with my sensitive, dry skin. I’m not in love with the scent but it works so I’m sticking with it.
- AAmandaVerified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoLOVE and Why are ppl trying to unscrew the top?
This stuff has saved my skin! I have rosacea and it calms my redness and flare ups. I don’t understand why people are even trying to unscrew the top, if they would read the instructions it CLEARLY states NOT to unscrew the top. It’s obvious there is a cap and a top base that unscrews.
- MBMary B.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoLove this product and my skin barrier does too!
I love this, multi time repurchased!
- LLRated 2 out of 5 stars1 week ago"New" packaging but actually ridiculous shrinkflation
I loved this serum, but I honestly cannot support the way this company is going with their "new" packaging scheme. The old package had the whole bottle full of the product, but now, the amount of product you actually get is way less than what you actually see.
Not worth the price, and I won't be supporting Krave anymore.
KKraveBeauty1 week agoHi L, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review!
Although the silicone insert may look like it is holding less product, it was designed to contain 45 mL (1.52 fl. oz.) of our Great Barrier Relief formula. As the silicone insert is airless, it will shrink as more product is pushed out until there is nothing left.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us at hello@kravebeauty.com for further assistance!
- LLuciaVerified ReviewerRated 1 out of 5 stars2 weeks agoSevere allergic reaction
Gave me a severe allergic reaction. Broke out in tiny little red bumps with small white heads in the middle. My skin is inflamed and very red. I can’t believe I fell for all the 5-star reviews. I’m extremely disappointed.
KKraveBeauty2 weeks agoHi Lucia, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review!
We’re so sorry to hear that our Great Barrier Relief gave your skin a reaction. As with any product, we cannot guarantee that your skin will react positively as everyone's skin is different and reacts differently to certain products or product combinations. That's why we advise starting out with a small patch test and exercising caution when introducing new products into your routine.
Again, we apologize for this less-than-ideal experience. If you need any further assistance please email us at hello@kravebeauty.com!
