General guidance
Ceramides are excellent after exfoliation. They repair and strengthen the skin barrier that acids temporarily weaken.
Both strengthen the skin barrier through different mechanisms. Together they're the ultimate barrier repair combo.
Ceramides help counteract retinoid dryness. Apply ceramide moisturizer after retinoid for better tolerance.
Glycolic acid + ceramides is a smart pairing. The acid exfoliates while ceramides immediately repair the barrier.
Centella and ceramides together are the ultimate barrier repair duo. Both soothe and strengthen damaged or sensitized skin.
Growth Factors
Ceramides create a protective barrier that helps growth factors stay active on the skin longer.
HA draws water in, ceramides lock it in. Apply HA on damp skin first, then ceramide moisturizer to seal.
Peptides
Peptides and ceramides are both gentle and reparative. A perfect combo for anti-aging without irritation.
