What It Is

Lipids constituting ~50% of the stratum corneum intercellular matrix. Together with cholesterol and free fatty acids, ceramides form the lamellar bilayer structure preventing transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and shielding against irritants and pathogens. Levels decline with age, dry skin conditions, eczema and UV exposure. Robust clinical evidence for barrier restoration and eczema management.

How to Use

Topical moisturiser AM and PM daily. Essential after any active ingredient. Look for multiple ceramide types (NP, AP, EOP) combined with cholesterol and fatty acids.
