Ceramides
Repair the skin barrier; the base of every calm routine.
Ceramides are the fats that hold skin cells together like mortar between bricks. When they run low, skin loses water and lets irritants in.
A moisturiser with ceramides rebuilds that barrier, which is why dermatologists pair one with almost every treatment.
Who it suits
Dry, sensitive or irritated skin, and anyone using retinol or acne treatments.
How to use it
- Morning and night, after any serum.
- On damp skin for the best effect.
- Use it alongside retinol or acne treatments to cut down on dryness.
What to pair it with
Ceramides + Retinol
Work well together
A ceramide moisturiser over retinol cuts down on peeling.
Ceramides + Hyaluronic acid
Work well together
Water in, then sealed in. The base of a calm routine.
Everything else pairs fine with ceramides: apply the thinnest product first.
