“Throda's sole focus on the skin barrier and microbiome was what initially drew me in, and I love that it uses tribiotics for complete support. My skin feels amazing and I have had so many compliments asking what I'm using.”
“I travel a lot for work, and more recently I have just felt my skin stays irritated, itchy and dry for days. I tried this serum by Throda and my skin feels so much more hydrated, soft and soothed. I'm so impressed with the results.”
“I no longer need to layer multiple products, yet still receive all the benefits I am looking for. Genius formulation and is now a staple in my routine.”
“I suffer from chronic dryness and no matter what I apply it just doesn't last. Throda has made a huge difference, and the hydration genuinely lasts all day!”
“This serum has made a noticeable difference since I started using it a week ago and I like that it's just one step and actually delivers.”
“I am in my 8th week of using the Throda serum and it has become my morning and evening ritual of skincare. My skin feels nourished and fuller. It is a shame I didn't find this serum until I was 59, but it has certainly put youth and life back into my face. Thank you.”
“My skin is glowing! It's never felt so healthy, bright and dewy.”
“I love everything this brand stands for and this serum has really simplified my skincare routine. I will be sticking with this product now because I know it works.”
“It's hard to find products suitable for eczema-prone skin and I've struggled with eczema flare-ups for years. Throda is the first product to soothe my skin without causing further irritation. My skin feels so much calmer since using it.”
“This serum is rich and nourishing, yet absorbs quickly without feeling heavy on my skin. My skin looks better and better each day, and I just couldn't live without it.”
“I've always suffered from Rosacea and this serum helps reduce redness. I'm so grateful for Throda and this holy grail product.”
“It is quite incredible, even at my age, that I have been able to completely transform my skincare routine for the better, and the best part is how simple it is. Throda has made looking after my skin effortless, yet the results have been amazing.”

Airless pump technology.
A formula is only as good as its delivery. Throda is packaged in a precision airless pump system, housed in premium Italian glass, and designed to protect the potency of every dose from the first use to the last.
Zero air exposure
A vacuum-sealed chamber keeps the formula from ever touching air, eliminating oxidation.
Consistent dose delivery
Every pump delivers the same measured 0.15ml dose of actives.
No contamination
The sealed system keeps environmental bacteria away from the formula.
Fully recyclable
Premium Italian glass, fully recyclable without compromising performance.
For best results, Throda works alone.
The serum builds your skin's microbial balance. Strong actives and high-strength acids strips this away again, so it needs space to work.
Option A
Alternate days
Use Throda on the days you're not applying other actives. Both keep working, neither interferes.
Option B
Different times of day
Throda in the morning as your skin-health foundation; other actives in the evening only.
Option C
Throda standalone
Once your skin barrier is strong, the need for extra actives reduces naturally. One product, complete care.
Apply two pumps on clean, dry skin. The serum lasts around 7 weeks when used twice daily, and 14 weeks when used once daily.
Product FAQ
Is it suitable for sensitive and eczema-prone skin?
Yes. The formula has been assessed for skin compatibility in a 42-day Human Repeat Insult Patch Test. If you have known allergies or very reactive skin, patch test before first use.
How should I apply it?
Apply two pumps to clean, dry skin, then gently press into the face, neck and décolletage until absorbed. Use morning and evening for a skin barrier revival, or once daily for maintenance.
How long does one bottle last?
The 30ml bottle lasts approximately seven weeks when used twice daily, or fourteen weeks when used once daily, based on two pumps per application.
Does it contain fragrance?
It is free from synthetic fragrance, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, mineral oils, silicones, artificial dyes, gluten, GMOs, DEA and heavy metals.
Is it vegan and cruelty free?
Yes. The Face Barrier Serum is vegan and cruelty free, and it carries the Kind to Biome mark for microbiome-friendly skincare.
Can I use it with other active ingredients?
It can sit within an existing routine, but introduce products gradually. If your skin is irritated, pause strong actives such as retinoids and exfoliating acids, then reintroduce them slowly once your skin feels settled.
How does the airless bottle work?
Prime the pump before first use by pressing it several times. The airless mechanism protects the formula and pushes product upwards as you use it, helping dispense every last drop.
