In short: An Icelandic barrier repair serum powered by pharmaceutical-grade marine chitosan (ChitoCare Repair®), hyaluronic acid and prickly pear. It is retinol-free and non-irritating, designed for sensitive, reactive and hormonally changing skin. In a 6-week study it improved hydration by 16% and firmness by 22%.
ChitoCare Anti-Aging Repair Serum is a lightweight bioactive serum built around ChitoCare Repair®, the brand’s patented complex of pharmaceutical-grade Icelandic marine chitosan. It supports a stronger-looking skin barrier, locks in moisture and visibly improves firmness, elasticity and hydration. It does this without the irritation some people get from retinol or unstable vitamin C.
If you are looking for a barrier repair serum for sensitive, redness-prone, perimenopausal or post-treatment skin, this is a gentle, stable choice that layers under any routine. It also boosts the performance of the rest of your skincare.
Clinical study of 14 women aged 50–70 using the Repair Serum with ChitoCare face cream twice daily for 6 weeks. In a separate 6-week survey of 30 women, 96% were satisfied and 82% reported improved hydration after one week. Individual results vary.

Chitosan is a natural biopolymer made from chitin. ChitoCare uses a pharmaceutical-grade marine chitosan produced in Iceland. It forms a breathable film on the skin that helps hold in moisture and supports the look of a healthy barrier.
ChitoCare designed it to be non-irritating for sensitive, rosacea-prone and eczema-prone skin. It is a cosmetic, not a treatment for skin conditions. If you have a diagnosed condition, check with your clinician.
Marine chitosan is derived from crustacean (shellfish) shells. If you have a shellfish allergy, speak to your GP or pharmacist before use, and patch-test.
