5 Ceramide Moisturisers For A Stronger Skin Barrier

By Shammi Mondal 

Picture this: You’ve been using a vitamin C serum for months, and it’s working just as you had imagined. Then one day the same routine irritates your skin. Investigate further and you realise it’s not the serum but a compromised skin barrier.  

When it comes to re-hydrating extremely dry skin and healing your skin barrier, (which basically means taking care of the outermost layer of your skin that is responsible for how your skin feels and looks), nothing comes close to ceramides.  

 

Ceramides are lipids that are naturally in our skin. They form a protective layer that helps retain moisture and shield you from environmental damage. Sometimes your ceramide resources may deplete due to external stressors or over-exfoliation.  

 

We scouted the most hard-working ceramide moisturisers that will build your barrier health.
