Barrier Renewal Cream is a lightweight, hydrating, reparative cream for all skin types, including barrier impaired skin, dry, sensitive or irritated skin. It contains free fatty acids, cholesterol, and ceramides to improve the barrier function. Use Barrier Renewal Cream after cancer surgery for immediate + soothing relief of symptoms.
Pre + Post Cancer Surgery Protocols
For both pre + post-cancer surgery, NeoGenesis S²RM® products provide a natural approach to healing called “systems therapeutics”. Injured or damaged tissue need the molecules that were present when the tissue was healthy to be returned to the skin. Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin, Urea and Collagen make up the skin, and are just some of the molecules involved in this process. They are also responsible for healing and maintaining the new healthy tissue. Providing the proper atmosphere to heal the wounded area quickly will minimize the chances of scarring or other unwanted side effects.
Surgery to remove cancerous tissue, whether exploratory, preventive, or more invasive, can take two weeks or longer and leave scars. Surgery wounds can take longer if you have a medical condition or are taking certain medications, such as steroids.
Before any surgery, it is important to prepare the skin for the procedure. Gently cleanse the area with the NeoGenesis Cleanser, followed by Recovery. Finish with Intensive Moisturizer or Barrier Renewal Cream to hydrate and support the skin’s barrier.

After surgery, as directed by your health care professional, continue the use of Cleanser, Recovery, and Intensive Moisturizer or Barrier Renewal Cream to soothe and support the skin.

Keeping the skin in a hydrated and protected state will help to minimize redness, irritation, discomfort and the chance of scarring will be minimized with the consistent use of these products.
