Important things to know about
Ceramides
- Helps moisturize and prevent moisture loss
- Strengthens the skin’s natural barrier
- Supports smoother, softer, more supple-looking skin
What is Ceramides?
Ceramides are essential lipids naturally found in the skin, playing a vital role in maintaining its structure and moisture balance. In skincare, they mimic the skin’s natural lipids, helping reinforce the barrier and protect against moisture loss. In DECORTÉ formulas, they help strengthen and lock in moisture for a softer, smoother, more resilient complexion.
What Does It Do?
Ceramides are essential lipids known for helping:
- Lock in moisture
- Strengthen skin barrier
- Improve softness and suppleness
What Are Its Origins?
Ceramides are naturally occurring lipids found within the skin’s outer layer, where they help maintain its protective barrier. In skincare, they are carefully developed into skin-compatible forms that mimic the ceramides naturally present in the skin.
What Skin Concerns Does It Address?
- Dryness/Dehydration
- Uneven Texture
