Why Ceramides Matter for Your Skin

Ceramides are your skin's natural protectors. These waxy lipid molecules make up 50% of your skin barrier - the outermost layer that keeps moisture in and irritants out. Think of ceramides as the "mortar" between your skin cells, creating a strong, protective wall. Here's why they're essential:

Barrier Function: Ceramides form protective layers that prevent water loss and block environmental damage. Without adequate ceramides, your skin becomes dry, sensitive, and prone to irritation.
Natural Decline: Starting in your 20s, ceramide production decreases by about 1% per year. This leads to visible signs of aging, increased dryness, and compromised skin barrier function.
The Science: Your skin naturally contains nine types of ceramides, each with specific protective functions. When ceramide levels drop, your skin barrier weakens, leading to increased water loss (up to 75% more), higher sensitivity to irritants, visible signs of aging, compromised healing.

The Solution: Topical ceramides can replenish what your skin loses over time, restoring barrier strength and improving overall skin health. Bio-active ceramides are specially formulated to mimic your skin's natural ceramide structure for optimal absorption and effectiveness.

    Cleanse & Firm Duo

    The Moisturizer is nice, but the Hydrating Cream-To-Milk Cleanser dries my skin out. Also it doesn't get milky like it's supposed to. I don't care for it at all.

    Amazing duo for all skin types

    This is a fantastic pair, I've been enamored with the bio-ceramide moisturiser for a while as it's the very important cherry on top - an absolute gem - for my very dry skin after using hydrator serums like the HA and ectoin one. It's velvety smooth and absorbs like a dream. No greasiness, just hydrated and moisturised skin. But never forget, if you have oily skin, it's a myth that you shouldn't use a moisturiser - this one one is perfect because of the ceramide formula, it's just a matter of using serums to treat your particular problem(s) and sealing everything in with maybe a thinner layer of this nourishing and repairing moisturier. When it comes to all other skin types this product also happens to be great due to its texture, formulation, ingredients everyone needs (but not overstuffed with other things like many other moisturisers) and its rapid absorption.

    As for the new cleanser, it's heavenly. The milky feel when applying feels so refreshing and my face feels so soft and smooth after rinsing. It's hydrating and nourishing while a great tool to get rid of extra stubborn makeup and SPF. It's also a perfect product to use after an oil-based cleanser if you double cleanse. I just can't get over how fantastic this feels, how soft and smooth my skin feels for such a long time afterwards. I have cleansers of all different price tags, ingredients and textures and this one is up there with the best of them! It leaves the skin with a healthy glow that other items in my…
