Rhode Barrier Butter has emerged as the gold standard for this practice, specifically designed to repair a skin barrier battered by urban pollution and the unforgiving humidity of East Asian summers. While the brand is a staple in [us trends](https://www.comgateway.com/trends/), getting your hands on it in South Korea often feels like a race against the "Sold Out" sign.
