Ceramide AS

A ceramide variant that supports barrier repair and improves skin hydration.

Ceramide AS is a hydroxylated ceramide that mimics the structure of endogenous skin lipids, aiding in barrier restoration and moisture retention. It is often included in formulations targeting dry, sensitive, or compromised skin. Works synergistically with other ceramides and cholesterol to rebuild the lipid bilayer.
