With temperatures nearing 40 degrees across the UK over the next few days, we welcome any way to stay cool. Skincare may not be the first solution that comes to mind, but products inspired by cryotherapy have become increasingly more advanced in refreshing the complexion, reducing puffiness and leaving skin firmer. And during a heatwave, their cooling properties become all the more appealing.

Among the latest releases, the Aestura Atobarrier365 cream, a viral Korean skincare favourite, has earned its place in our heatwave survival kit (alongside an all-important mini fan and heatproof make-up.) The brand’s claim is particularly enticing: Aestura suggests that this formula can lower skin temperature by up to 5.5°C.
It’s also among the most popular beauty products during Amazon Prime Day (a shopping event offering discounts across fashion, beauty, and lifestyle categories), which runs through to June 26.

What does the Aestura Atobarrier365 cream do?
A formula that hydrates and repairs, the Aestura Atobarrier365 cream has a lightweight gel-cream texture that relieves sensations of heat and tightness. These may occur when temperatures fluctuate, whether that’s going from high-heat summer days to intensely air-conditioned offices, after UV exposure or as a result of external aggressors leading to oxidative stress.
Who should use the Aestura Atobarrier365 cream?
Recommended for sensitive and dehydrated skin, the cream was created to both protect and repair the skin barrier. This is the guiding principle of Aestura’s dermatological approach: when the skin barrier is compromised, the epidermis becomes drier, more reactive, and more susceptible to stress such as pollution, fatigue, and environmental damage.
How does the Aestura Atobarrier365 cream work?
To reinforce the skin’s protective barrier, the formula contains a lipid complex that mimics the skin’s naturally occurring lipids. There is also BMF technology that is responsible for that burst of freshness that occurs on application, as well as trehalose, a naturally-derived moisturising ingredient known for its ability to help the skin retain water in the epidermis – even in dry environments.
