A ceramide-forward barrier cream that layers well — a modern take on a classic actives-plus-barrier routine.

Ingredient breakdown

Ceramides
Moderate evidence
Commonly used in barrier-repair moisturizers to help restore skin hydration, reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and support skin recovery after barrier disruption; randomized trials of ceramide-containing lipid-complex formulations show measurable improvements in hydration, TEWL and post-procedure skin recovery.
Peptides
Moderate evidence
Commonly used to help support collagen production and improve signs of skin aging. A randomized double-blind controlled trial found a novel cyclized hexapeptide outperformed retinol on skin aging measures with better stability and permeability, and a separate split-face trial found a collagen-III multi-peptide serum improved outcomes when combined with collagen injection therapy for photoaging.
