The skin you’re in is yours for a lifetime, so it’s important to think about long-term solutions that will optimize its health and appearance. As tempted as you may be to try a “quick fix,” just remember that these results are often fleeting—and may actually do more harm than good. A less is more approach is the best bet for a healthy skin barrier and, in turn, smooth, hydrated, comfortable skin.
Ceramides are a key component of the skin’s natural moisture barrier, but their levels can wane with age, exposure to environmental aggressors and skin conditions such as eczema. A specific skin care ingredient called ceramide-3 helps replenish the barrier so it can do its job, which is to hold moisture in the skin while keeping irritants out.
La Roche-Posay understands the role that ceramides play in a healthy skin barrier, which is why the brand offers several products that are formulated with ceramide-3. This simple daily skin care regimen provides all the ceramides your barrier needs, along with the hydration and skin-soothing benefits you want.
Just a reminder, all of these La Roche-Posay products are dermatologist-tested, allergy-tested and safe for sensitive skin. They are also non-comedogenic (so they won’t clog pores) as well as free of parabens and fragrance. This means you can enjoy the benefits of a stronger skin barrier—and calm, hydrated skin—without the risk of irritation. In this case, less really is more…
