Classics among skincare ingredients, ceramides are naturally-occurring lipids that make up for about 50 percent of the skin’s composition. Young skin produces plenty of ceramides, but with age (and external influences such as UV radiation) the body’s own production readily decreases. However, ceramide-based skincare not only helps with filling the moisture depots and strengthening the skin’s protective layer, it also provides anti-aging benefits by stimulating natural regeneration processes, leaving the skin looking healthy and radiant. Bonus: ceramides are skin-identical ingredients and are therefore particularly well tolerated by all skin types.
