Barkskin | Baldurs Gate 3 Wiki

Note that this spell does not set your BASE AC to 16. Instead, it adds enough bonus AC to set you to 16, if you're below that. But if you're already at or above 16, it does absolutely nothing.

And note, this is how it works in DnD 5e, so that's intended. It's just that the description in BG3 is terrible.

Only really worthwhile on mid difficulty, or in the very-early game. On Tactician every single enemy has a bonus to their accuracy, to the point where 16 AC is barely an improvement over 14 or 12, especially once you get past Act 1.

Barkskin counts as armor so any "unarmed" bonus from Monk or Barbarian doesn't add to it.
