Ceramides
An effective protector of hydration levels, ceramides add protection against environmental aggressors while improving the overall appearance of skin
Ceramides
Ingredient Overview
- Ceramides are natural lipid molecules that bind skin cells together to strengthen the protective barrier, deeply hydrate, and reduce signs of aging, making them highly safe and soothing for all skin types.
- For best results, apply them twice daily in your morning and evening routines to lock in moisture, combat dryness, and smooth the skin's surface to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and acne scars.
- You can find these high-performance, bioidentical lipids in daily clinical formulas like the SkinCeuticals Replenishing Cleanser and SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2.
What are Ceramides?
Ceramides are waxy lipid molecules naturally present in the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin, that play a key role in skin lipid barrier function. Ceramides for skin work synergistically to help increase skin hydration and promote optimal barrier function. In addition to hydrating the skin, ceramides for skin help to combat dryness. SkinCeuticals ceramides are formulated synthetically to be bioidentical to the skin's natural ceramides.
What are Lipids?
Lipids are a type of fatty or oily organic compounds that serve an essential role in maintaining the structure and function of skin’s moisture barrier. These molecules, such as ceramides, work to promote healthy skin barrier function while keeping the skin looking plump and soft, therefore reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
