CARLSBAD, CA / ACCESS Newswire / September 23, 2025 / Colorescience®, a dermatologist-recommended leader in sun and skin health, today announced the launch of Barrier Pro™ Serum Spray ($65), a breakthrough serum-mist that represents a new frontier in skin barrier care: Supporting the skin's innate Vitamin D pathway without exposure to UV light.

The Untapped Potential of Vitamin D in Skin
For decades, Vitamin D has been known as the "sunshine vitamin," produced in the skin when exposed to sunlight. While its role in bone and immune health is widely recognized, its direct impact on skin has been overlooked. In fact, Vitamin D is a critical regulator of skin biology through the Vitamin D Receptor (VDR)-it strengthens barrier defense, aids repair, calms inflammation, and restores visible radiance.

Breakthrough Innovation: Sunlight's Benefits, Without the Risk
Until now, the only way for skin to make Vitamin D was through UV exposure - forcing a tradeoff between barrier health and UV damage. Barrier Pro™ Serum Spray ends that compromise.

Barrier Pro™ Serum Spray is a lightweight serum in a fine mist format that soothes stressed skin, provides immediate hydration, and strengthens defenses against environmental aggressors. AdapDvate™ Technology supports Vitamin D activation, while advanced antioxidants and hydrating ingredients deliver smoother, firmer, and more balanced skin. In a multi-center 4-week clinical study, 97% of participants experienced improved skin tone and 90% noted enhanced radiance and luminosity.

At its core is patent-pending AdapDvate™ Technology, which replicates the positive signals of sunlight to provide the essential building blocks skin needs to activate its natural Vitamin D pathway - without UV. Beyond Vitamin D support, the formula also balances the microbiome, replenishes hydration, and reinforces barrier defense, creating a holistic approach to skin resilience. This breakthrough represents not just a new product, but the beginning of a platform of innovations designed to target overlooked biological pathways for healthier, stronger skin.

Dermatologist Dr. Saranya Wyles, MD, PhD explains, "As a researcher in skin longevity and regenerative dermatology, I'm excited to see Vitamin D in skin finally receiving the attention it deserves. Few people know that skin is the only organ capable of producing and utilizing Vitamin D locally. Activation of Vitamin D in skin is essential for skin immunity, renewal, and repair." She adds that enhancing Vitamin D synthesis "delivers a comprehensive approach to barrier health, supporting a balanced skin microbiome and improving hydration."

A Commitment to Sun Science, Elevated
"As leaders in sun science, our commitment has always been to advance skin health with products people can trust and love to use," said Heather Goodchild, EVP. "What makes this breakthrough so exciting is its simplicity: the first Vitamin D-boosting treatment that delivers the science of a serum in a weightless mist, designed to support skin wellness and seamlessly layer with your skincare and mineral SPF."

The formula brings together peptides, botanicals, and hydration boosters to target barrier strength from multiple angles. Key actives include Chronopeptide to support Vitamin D conversion and renewal, Lithops Plant Cell Nectar ("Living Stone") to boost hydration and vitamin activation, and Tri-Molecular Hyaluronic Acid for lasting, multi-level moisture. Prickly Pear Cactus Extract calms sensitivity, Goji Berry Extract provides antioxidant and prebiotic support, and Lactobacillus Ferment reinforces skin flora. Sugarcane-derived Squalane smooths and restores, while Hydrolyzed Pea Protein enhances the skin's adaptive response to light exposure.

The result: skin that stays hydrated, radiant, and resilient - around the clock, supporting not only visible skin health but also a lifestyle centered on wellness and vitality.

"This innovation is one of the most important products we have launched-a testament to the dedication and expertise of our team, who continue to bring forward meaningful advances in skin health and protection," says Mary Fisher, CEO.

Barrier Pro™ Serum Spray will join Colorescience's Barrier Pro collection of skin barrier-strengthening, microbiome-focused skincare. Available beginning September 23, 2025, at Colorescience.com and through authorized skincare professionals nationwide.
