What are ceramides?

Ceramides are natural lipids that form the skin's water-lipid barrier – the so-called intercellular cement. They keep moisture in the skin and protect it from external factors.

How do ceramides affect the skin?

They strengthen the protective barrier, prevent moisture loss, soothe irritation and support regeneration. A deficiency means rough, hypersensitive skin.

Who are ceramides for?

Especially for dry, sensitive and eczema-prone skin, and after peels.

What can you combine ceramides with?

Best with hyaluronic acid, peptides and squalane. Ceramides in the morning, AHA/BHA acids in the evening.
