Barrier support
Ceramides
Also known as Ceramide NP, AP, EOP
Lipids that make up a large part of your skin's natural barrier. Adding them back helps skin hold moisture and stay calm and comfortable.
Revoderm products with Ceramides
What are ceramides?
Ceramides are fats (lipids) that make up roughly half of the outer layer of your skin. Together with cholesterol and fatty acids, they act like the mortar between bricks, keeping moisture in and irritants out.
What they do for your skin
- Help repair and strengthen the skin barrier
- Reduce moisture loss so skin stays hydrated longer
- Help skin feel calmer and less reactive
How to use them
Ceramides work best in moisturizers you use morning and night. Both our Redness Relief Moisturizer and Profound Light Moisturizer pair three ceramides with cholesterol and phytosphingosine, which mirrors the skin's own barrier.
Who they're for
Everyone benefits, especially dry, sensitive or redness-prone skin, and anyone using retinol or acne treatments that can leave skin feeling dry.
