Product Summary

Ingredient callouts
- Ceramides (ceramide 1 6.30% - 9.40%). 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 (lactobacillus ferment 1.80% - 2.70%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

What does the product description say?
Ceramide Hydrtaing Complex Serum
Source: From product name
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called âhumectantsâ:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they âpull inâ the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
lactobacillus ferment.
This product also contains ingredients called âocclusivesâ. 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: cocos nucifera oil, opuntia ficus-indica seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide 1
A type of lipid similar to ceramides naturally present in skin. Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and supports the skin barrier function to keep it hydrated. Can help to prevent inflammation in skin
An emollient. Found to be as effective as a moisturizer for dry skin as mineral oil. Could be comedogenic
A non-living ingredient made by fermentation with the bacteria Lactobacillus. It can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might help reduce inflammation
A fermentation product created by bacteria Lactobacillus. The fermented product has anti-bacterial properties and might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but studies are lacking. Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Can be used as a preservative
A plant oil that helps soften the upper layer of the skin and can support skin's barrier function due to its high content of linoleic acid. It also has anti-microbial properties
Anti-aging
What does the product description say?
Ceramide loss is also a significant contributor to wrinkles.

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.
