Ceramides are lipid molecules found in the first epidermal layer which, together with cholesterol and fatty acids, form our skin's natural barrier.
Their function is to:
- Moisturize
- Prevent water evaporation from our skin
- Keep the skin firm by forming intercellular cement
- Protect our skin from external aggressions
A lack of ceramides leads to an alteration of the skin's general architecture: the skin will be dry and sensitive, with loss of tone and elasticity.
CERAMIDE CREAM
Maintaining our skin barrier in an optimal state is the basis for healthy skin.
With age, ceramide production gradually decreases: it is therefore necessary to compensate for this deficiency by using cosmetic products that restore our skin's natural ceramide levels and help us rebuild our natural barrier.
Alkemy recommends serum 2.4, made with red algae – known for its moisturizing, remineralizing, repairing, and protective properties against external agents – and a complex of phytoceramides – which stimulate collagen and elastin, enhancing the natural skin regeneration process during nightly rest.
It is the ideal product to compensate for the lack of essential lipids for our skin and to restore its natural defenses.
