“A universal hydration and skin barrier support serum optimized with five types of ceramides and lipids to lock in moisture, protect against dryness, and calm the appearance of irritation.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, aloe barbadensis leaf juice.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: helianthus annuus seed oil, simmondsia chinensis seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: caprooyl phytosphingosine, caprooyl sphingosine, ceramide ap, ceramide eop, ceramide eos, ceramide np, ceramide ns
Anti-agingAloe barbadensis leaf juice, Beta-glucan + 1 moreNot delivered
“lipids that help maintain skin’s natural function, reduce moisture loss, and protect against dehydration, irritation, and signs of aging”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.This ingredient - beta-glucan - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.

Use this as a boost to my moisturizers. I notice a pretty big difference when I don’t use it. I have combination skin with half oily half dry and this doesn’t make me break out and helps keep my dry spots moisturized.
Great product. Love how it feels.
Tremendously helped repair my skin barrier and I continue to use it at least once per day.

Product summary
"cocokind - ceramide barrier serum" is effective for: Anti-inflammatory, Anti-aging, Exfoliation, Moisturizing and Evens skin tone
Ingredient callouts
- This product contains acids (gluconolactone 1.80% - 2.70% and lactic acid 0.10% - 0.35%). Their concentration is low, and they will not have a strong exfoliating effect. Instead, they work to support the skin natural acid mantle and to attract water (as humectants). PHAs (gluconolactone) especially are great for improving skin hydration. They might be even able to stimulate the production of skin's natural humectants and support the healthy skin microbiome.
- Ceramides (ceramide eop 0.15% - 0.65%, ceramide eos 0.10% - 0.50%, ceramide ap 0.15% - 0.55%, ceramide ns 0.20% - 0.80%, ceramide np 0.30% - 0.75%, caprooyl sphingosine 0.10% - 0.30% and caprooyl phytosphingosine 0.15% - 0.60%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
- Humectants (arginine 1.40% - 2.20% and glycerin 3.20% - 4.80%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
