As we have discussed in previous blogs, our 100% Natural Human-Type Ceramides are gaining attention for their excellent effects. However, various myths and misconceptions often surround this powerful ingredient. In this blog, we will clarify them and further deepen our understanding of ceramides.
Myth 1: Ceramides Are Only Necessary for Dry Skin
Ceramides are essential for all skin types, not just dry skin. They are natural lipids that make up a majority of the skin’s barrier, playing a crucial role in locking in moisture and protecting the skin from environmental damage. While ceramides are particularly beneficial for dry skin, which often lacks sufficient lipids, they are also vital for maintaining skin health across all skin types. For oily or combination skin, ceramides help regulate moisture balance, preventing excessive oil production that can lead to acne or irritation.
Myth 2: Ceramides Can't Effectively Penetrate the Skin Barrier
Our natural human-type ceramides are more effective at penetrating the skin compared to synthetic ceramides. Various types of ceramides exist, and our special ceramides, derived from natural sources like Japanese soy sauce lees, are designed to be more compatible with human skin. They closely resemble the ceramides found naturally in the skin, allowing for better absorption and effectiveness. This leads to improved reinforcement of the skin barrier, ensuring optimal hydration and protection.
Myth 3: Ceramides Are Only Effective for Mature Skin
While ceramides become less abundant as we age and are particularly beneficial for mature skin, they are not limited to this age group. Ceramides support skin hydration and barrier function, making them valuable for people of all ages. For younger skin, ceramides help maintain a healthy skin barrier and prevent early signs of aging. As we have posted the results of clinical trials on our natural human ceramide in a previous blog, it has shown benefits such as improvement in dark spots, redness, and pore appearance. So incorporating ceramides into your routine can help maintain long-term skin health.
Myth 4: Using Multiple Ceramide Products in a Routine Can Cause Buildup & Clogged Pores
It is true that over-layering skincare products or excessive moisturizing can sometimes lead to oil buildup and clogged pores. However, our products are carefully formulated to provide only the essential ingredients needed for effective skincare, minimizing this risk. In fact, using our Pure Ceramide Concentrate and Ceramide Moisture Milk together can enhance the benefits of ceramides without causing issues. Pure Ceramide Concentrate is highly concentrated with over 95% purity, deeply supporting and repairing the skin barrier. Ceramide Moisture Milk absorbs quickly and hydrates without leaving a greasy residue. The combination of these two products offers powerful hydration and improved barrier function.
