“Illiyoon Ceramide ATO Lotion helps to provide deep long-lasting hydration to skin.”
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:
biosaccharide gum-1, glycerin.
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: butyrospermum parkii butter, dimethicone.

I first tried the ILLIYOON Ceramide ATO Cream and my combo skin was not happy. I got really weird little bumps on my chin that I’d never seen before and all-too- familiar breakouts on the center of my face and temples. I figured that the thickness of the cream was clogging my pores in the more oily areas of my face (especially because it was summer), so I did a bit of research and opted to try to the Ceramide ATO Lotion. I couldn’t be happier! It’s just what I was looking for: unscented, sensitive-skin friendly, lightweight but effective, and slightly thicker than the Soon Jung moisturizer, but thinner than the aforementioned cream. That being said, I often put the cream on the dry areas of my face after having used the lotion all over. Works great.

Product summary
"ILLIYOON - Ceramide ATO Lotion" has a good moisturizing formula. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. ILLIYOON - Ceramide ATO Lotion ticks this box. Biosaccharide gum-1, glycerin, mannitol and butylene glycol in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Ceramide 1, cholesterol, hydroxypropyl bispalmitamide mea, butyrospermum parkii butter and dimethicone in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.
Ingredient callouts
- As a plus, this moisturizer also contains Ceramides (ceramide 1 0.60% - 0.85%). 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.
