Ceramides are naturally occurring lipids that make up a major component of the skin's outermost barrier, helping to retain moisture and protect against environmental damage. In skincare, they are added to replenish depleted lipids and support barrier function, particularly in dry or compromised skin.
Hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan that attracts and binds water to the skin, helping to maintain hydration and improve the appearance of plumpness and smoothness. It is widely used in moisturizers and serums and is generally well tolerated across skin types.
