FAQs
How do I get the free Barrier Booster Kit?
Choose Subscribe & save. The kit is added to your first order automatically, with no code to enter.
How does the subscription work?
Daily Skin Defense arrives every 4 weeks at 10% off, with free shipping. Your first order includes the free Barrier Booster Kit. Subscriptions have a minimum of 3 deliveries, and you can manage your delivery dates from your account.
When should I start this routine?
Once your skin is no longer actively flaring: not red, hot or weeping, but still dry, tight or easily set off. If it’s flaring right now, calm the flare first.
When will I notice a difference?
Most people feel less tightness within the first few days. Give it 3 to 4 weeks of daily use for the barrier to get stronger.
Can I use it on my face?
The routine is made for the body. The Ceramide Skin Repair Cream can also go on dry patches on the face. If your face is very sensitive, patch test first.
How long does one routine last?
About 4 weeks with daily use, which is why the subscription arrives every 4 weeks.
Does it have a scent?
The body wash and lotion are lightly scented with natural essential oils, such as lavender. The cream has no added scent, and there’s no synthetic fragrance in any of them.
Is it safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Our products are generally suitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you have a specific medical concern, check with your doctor first.
What if my skin reacts?
Stop using it, patch test before trying again, and contact our team. We’ll help you work out what’s going on.

I used to wait for the next flare before doing anything. Now I do the routine every day, and my arms haven’t gone back to how they were.
The body wash doesn’t strip like my old one, and the lotion sinks in fast. I can get dressed straight away.
Most creams feel sticky in our humidity. The lotion doesn’t, so I actually use it twice a day.
I keep the ceramide cream for my elbows and knees and the lotion for everywhere else. It’s the first routine I’ve stuck with.

Why Daily Skin Defense exists
My son Kiaan was born with eczema, and I've lived with it myself all my life. What I learned the hard way: a flare settling isn't the end. The barrier underneath is still recovering, and the moment you stop caring for it, the dryness creeps back.
Daily Skin Defense is the routine for that in-between stage. Gentle enough for every day, light enough for our humidity, and built around ceramides and oats, so the good skin days last longer.

The GT Skin Recovery Method™
The same four-stage approach behind every Gentle Therapy formula, developed for sensitive skin in tropical climates. Daily Skin Defense puts it into a routine for every day, so skin stays settled between flares.
Take the heat and itch down, and remove what is setting skin off.
Put back the moisture and lipids a flare strips away.
Rebuild the barrier with skin-identical ceramides.
Keep relief within reach so skin stays settled.
Why a routine
When a flare settles, the barrier is still rebuilding. A cream on the dry spots helps, but the rest of your skin keeps losing moisture every day. Daily Skin Defense covers both.
