Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin Oil Balm

Based on the ingredient list, "Dr. Jart+ - Ceramidin Oil Balm" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Dr. Jart+ - Ceramidin Oil Balm ticks this box. Humectants in this product (glycerin, hyaluronic acid, hydrolyzed glycosaminoglycans, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid and sodium hyaluronate) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Emollients in this formulation (ceramide eop, ceramide np, ceramide ns, carthamus tinctorius seed oil and cholesterol) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
