Transparent Lab Ceramide Repair Serum - Transparent Lab
Works for
MoisturizingCeramide np, Ceramide ng + 18 moreWorks well
“An extremely moisturizing serum developed with plant-based ceramides, which help restore skin’s moisture levels and repair its hydrolipidic film.”
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, hyaluronic acid.
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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, helianthus annuus seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide ap, ceramide as, ceramide eop, ceramide ng, ceramide np, ceramide ns, madecassoside
Anti-agingMadecassoside, Hyaluronic acid + 1 moreMay help
“Formulated with highly penetrating Hyaluronic Acid nanovesicles, designed to moisturize from within and stimulate collagen synthesis.”
This product contains madecassoside. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Madecassoside, TocopherolWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (madecassoside) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).

Ingredient callouts
- Ceramides (ceramide ap 0.55% - 0.80%, ceramide as 0.65% - 1.00%, ceramide ns 0.95% - 1.20%, ceramide eop 1.20% - 1.40%, ceramide ng 1.40% - 1.70% and ceramide np 1.60% - 1.90%). 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.
- Actives derived from an extract of the Centella Asiatica plant (also known as Gotu Kola) - madecassoside 0.45% - 0.70% The Centella Asiatica Actives, even in low concentration, can help reduce inflammation in skin, strengthen the skin barrier and reduce photodamage. They can also help to decrease scarring.
- Humectants (mannitol 0.25% - 0.50%, hyaluronic acid 0.50% - 0.75% and glycerin 4.70% - 5.70%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
