Regimen Lab C.R.E.A.M Skin barrier moisturizer

Based on the ingredient list, "Regimen Lab - C. R. E. A. M Skin barrier moisturizer" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Regimen Lab - C. R. E. A. M Skin barrier moisturizer ticks this box. Humectants in this product (panthenol, avena sativa kernel flour, glycerin and butylene glycol) 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). Ceramide eop, ceramide np, isosorbide dicaprylate, petrolatum and avena sativa kernel flour 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 np 0.40% - 0.60% and ceramide eop 0.40% - 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.
• Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 2.90% - 3.50% concentration. In this concentration, Panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
