Ceramides
Ceramides are lipids found naturally in the skin that make up its protective barrier. Products with ceramides help strengthen the skin barrier, hold in moisture and reduce the feeling of dryness.Ceramides especially suit dry, sensitive or barrier-damaged skin, and work even better together with hyaluronic acid or cholesterol. In this category you will find Korean creams, serums and toners with ceramides from Dr. Althea, Neogen, Beauty of Joseon, TIRTIR and other brands.

What ceramides are for
Ceramides are lipids that, together with cholesterol and fatty acids, form the skin's protective layer. When they are lacking, skin loses moisture faster and becomes more sensitive.
- A cream with ceramides – the last hydrating step in the evening and in the morning before SPF.
- Alongside active products: when you use retinol or acids, a ceramide cream helps skin feel more comfortable.
- In the colder months choose a richer texture.
