KEY BENEFITS

Maintains skin barrier

The natural aging process and the overuse of harsh soaps or exfoliants can lead to ceramide loss in the skin. When ceramide levels decline, the stratum corneum or protective outer barrier of the skin becomes compromised, and tiny cracks can form. This breakdown in the skin barrier can make it easier for infection and skin inflammation to occur.

Boosts hydration

Ceramides can lock in moisture and boost hydration. When skin is dehydrated, it can become rough, and cracks can develop.

Rejuvenates aging skin

As people age, their skin changes as it loses structural proteins, such as collagen, elastin, and keratin. This, and the other processes involved in the degradation of the skin barrier, leads to thinner skin and visible signs of aging such as wrinkles, lines, and sagging

Protects against UV damage

Exposure to sunlight and UV rays is responsible for 90% of the visible skin changes such as wrinkles, fine lines, and pigmentary changes. Dermatologists refer to this as photoaging, and it is the direct result of cumulative sun damage over a lifetime.
