What is it for:

Ceramides are naturally occurring in the outer layer of skin and help to maintain healthy barrier function. From as early as 20, the quality and volume of Ceramides found naturally in the skin begin to deplete. This Ceramide Complex helps to improve elasticity, moisturisation and suppleness, ideal for dry, ageing, and sensitive skin.

When to use:

AM and PM - daily

Active ingredient benefits:

Skin Barrier Protecting

Ceramides help to form the structure of the epidermis. If we think of the skin as bricks and mortar, Ceramides are the cement that holds cells together. A lack of Ceramides can lead to a compromised skin barrier.

Moisturising

Helps to prevent Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) by sealing in moisture and forming a protective layer.

Anti-ageing

By keeping the skin smooth and supple, they help to minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Ingredient origin:

Can be derived naturally from plants or made synthetically.

Works well with:        

Squalene/ Hyaluronic Acid/ Retinol

Time to see results:

Long-term benefits may be seen after 6-8 weeks of consistent use.

Impact on sun sensitivity:

Ceramides have no impact on the skin's sensitivity to the sun. However, it is advised to still apply SPF daily.
