Ceramides for loss of firmness: how to use it and what to expect

Let's be honest about what Ceramides can really do, and what it can't.

What is Ceramides

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

How Ceramides helps for loss of firmness

Firmness declines with age as collagen and elastin break down. This is exactly where Ceramides shines: 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 loss of firmness.

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. Retinoids, peptides and vitamin C support skin density.
