What Do Ceramides Do for Skin Barrier Repair?

Ceramides for skin are the most abundant lipids, making up approximately 50% of the skin’s outermost layer, known as the stratum corneum. Their primary function is to maintain the integrity of the natural skin barrier. By holding the skin cells together like mortar holds bricks, ceramides effectively prevent water from escaping the skin, reducing transepidermal water loss and preventing dehydration. When ceramide levels are depleted, due to age, sun damage, or environmental stress, the barrier becomes compromised, leading to dryness, irritation, and rough texture. Replenishing these vital lipids helps the skin repair itself, leading to a firmer, more supple, and less irritated complexion.

Optimising Your Routine with Ceramides and Peptides

Ceramides are 'skin-identical' ingredients that work harmoniously with other proven actives to amplify results. Combining ceramides and peptides, for example, creates a powerful anti-ageing strategy. While ceramides repair the protective barrier and lock in essential moisture, peptides act as messengers that encourage the skin cells to increase collagen production, enhancing skin resilience and reducing fine lines. Whether incorporated in a rich moisturiser with ceramides for night-time repair, or a gentle ceramide cleanser for daily maintenance, these products provide essential structural support that helps the skin function in a younger, healthier state.
