Turns out, ceramides are one of the best, most moisturizing ingredients around. Here, dermatologists explain the many benefits of ceramides for skin health.
Ceramides are fats or lipids that are found in skin cells. They make up 30% to 40% of your outer skin layer, or epidermis. Ceramides are important for retaining your skin’s moisture and preventing the entry of germs into your body. If your skin's ceramide content decreases (which often...

It is the type of ceramide and its structure that determines the function of the ceramides, but their overall function is to help maintain the water retention in the stratum corneum. Many things can deplete skin of its moisture such as detergents or harsh weather. This can rob the skin of ...
Ceramides play an essential role in the structure of superficial epidermal layers and form an integral part of the intercellular membrane network. They help generate and sustain the skin’s barrier function. This is extremely important: if the stratum corneum’s hydration is maintained, then it ...
Ceramides live in cell membranes and are also part of the sebum or skin oils we secrete. You can think of them as the “mortar” in the brick-and-mortar design of the skin cells, as they help hold the cells and the epidermis together. Or you can imagine them as the grout between yo...
Symptomatic dermographism: wealing, mast cells and histamine are decreased in the skin following long-term application of a potent topical corticosteroid. Clobetasol propionate 0.05% ointment and an otherwise identical steroid-free base were applied topically to a 10 cm 2 area on the anterior thighs...
Skin integrity is an integral part of staying healthy and looking good. The ceramides molecule is responsible for the renewal of skin cells, and the regeneration of the skin’s lipid barrier. They are naturally found in skin and handle the restoration of skin. ...
