What is Ceramides

Ceramides are lipids that cement the cells of the outer layer and lock moisture inside the skin.

How Ceramides helps for blackheads

Blackheads are open pores filled with oxidised sebum that darkens in air. In this scenario Ceramides works with purpose — ceramides are lipids that cement the cells of the outer layer and lock moisture inside the skin. As a result, used consistently, it gently improves the skin for blackheads.

How to use it

  • Cleanse with a gentle, non-stripping product.
  • Apply ceramides to dry skin, starting 2–3 times a week.
  • Seal with a moisturiser to support the barrier.
  • Always use SPF 30+ in the morning.

Precautions

Especially useful for a damaged barrier, flaking and after aggressive treatments. A BHA working inside the pore beats squeezing.
