CelRevive Skincare: Breast cancer survivor launches EWG-verified line for sensitive and damaged skin
If you're someone who experiences sensitive skin and struggles to find skincare products that don't irritate or inflame it then you'll want to hear about Aussie skincare brand, CelRevive. CelRevive is more than a skincare brand — it's a deeply personal mission born from resilience, science, and compassion. Founded by Theresa Tobin, a breast cancer survivor and personal care formulation chemist, the brand emerged from her firsthand experience with the emotional and physical toll of sensitive, damaged skin during cancer treatment. Theresa was determined to create products that offer real relief without harmful ingredients, so channelled her expertise into building a science-backed, ethically grounded skincare line that prioritises safety, sensitivity, and visible results. Launched in March last year, CelRevive has quickly gained recognition for its unwavering focus on strengthening and protecting the skin barrier, especially for those facing eczema, rosacea, and the harsh side effects of medical treatments. At the heart of the brand is the hero product, B-Restore™ Barrier Cream, a dermatologist-approved, EWG Verified™ formula that's as gentle as it is effective. It currently retails for $75, normally $104. With ingredients like lactobacillus ferment lysate for microbiome support, Bilberry seed oil to repair the skin barrier, and Tasmanian pepperberry to calm inflammation, the cream delivers 24-hour hydration and relief from dryness, irritation, and redness. Shoppers have given the cream a 5-star rating on CelRevive's website. 'Love this cream, very hydrating and smooth,' one person wrote. 'Obsessed! It helps calm my reactive skin and keeps it super hydrated. So gentle but really effective!' Another shopper added. 'I've always struggled with severe eczema, dealing with constant itching and flare-ups. After using CelRevive Barrier Cream for less than a week, the difference is incredible, ' a third person commented. What truly sets CelRevive apart is its purpose-driven ethos. Nearly 30 per cent of personal care products on the market contain ingredients linked to cancer and reproductive harm — a fact that pushed Theresa to set a new standard. CelRevive products are also free from fragrances, parabens, alcohols, and other common irritants, making them safe for those already navigating serious health challenges. Beyond skincare, CelRevive is committed to giving back. Five per cent of its revenue is donated to organisations like the Sydney Breast Cancer Foundation, National Breast Cancer Foundation, and Look Good Feel Better, supporting cancer research and survivorship programs. This is skincare created not just in a lab, but from lived experience — with every product reflecting a powerful story of healing, hope, and purpose.
