Aging Skin Concerns: Are Ceramides better than Hyaluronic Acid?

Posted by Seiso_JBeauty on April 07, 2023

There are many anti-aging products and ingredients available, but their effects vary from person to person. Hyaluronic Acid, Retinol, Niacinamide... These ingredients are considered effective for anti-aging, but many of you may have been disappointed once you tried them. In fact, a healthy skin barrier must be in place in order to experience positive effects from the use of these ingredients. Therefore, we focus on improving barrier function in order to get the best results for our skin out of other ingredients and products.

Prevent Ceramide Loss

When the barrier function is impaired, the majority of ingredients will evaporate before penetrating into the stratum corneum. If the moisture evaporates from the skin, no matter how good the ingredients are that you apply, the ingredients are rendered much less effective — and aren’t able to make measurable changes in skin appearance or texture.

Ceramides play a key role in improving the barrier function and have moisturizing components that are naturally found in human skin. Unfortunately, the ceramide levels in our skin significantly decrease with age. Research has shown that by the age of 50 ceramide production will slow to half of what it was in our 20s.

If you do not supply ceramides from the outside, the barrier function and the effects from daily skincare will continue to decline over time.

High Quality Ceramides Rescue Your Skin

The important thing here is that not all ceramides are the same. Replenishing high quality ceramides for healthy barrier function from the outside is essential to promote total skin health. Our ceramides have proven highly effective in improving barrier function in clinical trials. The results showed the significant improvement trend in wrinkle depth and width compared to synthetic ceramide.

Improved barrier function will help you achieve healthy skin and can help to resolve many skin problems. We pursue the path of maximum luxury with simple formulas that are based on the belief of Japanese minimalism. Below is data from our clinical trials.
