Ceramides for Acne (Acne Vulgaris)
Refills the natural barrier between your skin cells. Locks moisture in, keeps irritants out, calms dry or damaged skin.
Why it works for Acne (Acne Vulgaris)
Rebuilds your skin barrier without clogging pores. Acne-prone skin tends to be low in ceramides (the fats that hold the barrier together), and harsh cleansing or strong treatments can damage it further. A ceramide moisturizer repairs that, so your skin is less likely to overreact and pump out more oil after being stripped. AAD guidelines suggest using a moisturizer like this during acne treatment so the dryness from retinoids and benzoyl peroxide does not make you quit.
How Ceramides works
