Ceramides In Skincare: Actives For The Skin of Your Dreams

For skins that crave hydration, smoothness and that comfortable suppleness, ceramides (fats also known as lipids) are known for their skin-saving properties. This said, when they’re formulated into a complex (a thoughtfully crafted blend of actives), they work even harder. This dream team is anything but tricky. In fact, it’s terrific, and each ceramide ingredient plays a special role in helping skin regain its hydration and fortification. Here’s how.

Skin of Dreams: How Ceramides Work in a Complex

Essentially, the job of a ceramide is to help strengthen your skin’s barrier. In fact, over half of your skin’s protective barrier is actually made up of ceramides. These essential lipids deplete, not only as we age, but as life hits skin. Think stress and environmental damage. Your job – especially if you’re battling tight, dry and rough skin – is to dose your skin with ceramides.

And, if you’re giving your complexion a complex of them, you’re hitting the skincare sweet spot. Ideally, your ceramide blend should address not only dehydration concerns but also fortify the skin’s barrier and provide protection against skin sensitivity. That’s why a complex (a mix of active ingredients) means building up your skin as a fortress instead of just soothing it. It’s like a long-term strategy versus simply a quick fix.

The strongest of ceramide complexes should contain a trifecta of different types (Ceramide NP, Ceramide AP and Ceramide EOP) which amplify each other’s strengths. Find them all in Triple Ceramide Hydrating Complex, a barrier cream, with a benchmark complex ceramide blend to help repair skin with protective lipids.

Beautifully Blended:  The Right Ceramides For The Job

Flooding the skin with hydration (that’s the role of Ceramide NP), the actives in a cleverly chosen ceramide complex work together to soothe skin as well as rebuild it. Ceramide NP, known as the “moisture guardian“ locks in all that essential moisture so your face feels amazing.

In other words, none of that tightness is associated with taught, dry skin. Added to this skin comforter is Ceramide AP, which provides gentle exfoliation while also offering soothing properties. This means it’s the ticket for conquering skin roughness but without any redness. So it’s a match for sensitive and easily reactive types.

Next, the complex is supported with Ceramide EOP, which helps reconstruct the skin’s barrier. A critical task, it can rebuild the very structure of your skin’s outermost layer. And it’s this shield that needs fortification for daily defence and the look and feel of strong and healthy skin. But is this ceramide complex for you? So many skin conditions can benefit; it treats mature skin, soothes dry and very dry skin, aids sensitive and reactive skin and can even be used on eczema.

Ready for your skin’s biggest comeback? Your three ceramide guardians have got you covered. Think refined texture, happy hydration and renewed strength. Basically, a remedy for resilience. Just as you’re putting back in collagen, hyaluronic acid and other natural substances that support skin, do the same with ceramides. Especially with the right complex. It’s the lipid therapy your skin needs for ageless beauty.
