These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). These items don’t even have to be dirty, or have bacteria on them, to cause a breakout — the pressure on your oil glands is enough.

I would highly recommend Dermatica to anyone who cares about looking their best for as long as possible.With over seven years' experience working across a diverse array of disciplines, Liyya completed a postgraduate diploma in dermatology in clinical practice in 2018.

You can usually find it right in the very first spot of the ingredient list, meaning it’s the biggest thing out of all the stuff that makes up the product.The BeautyBrains blog made a fantastic article about ceramides and they have listed a couple of examples about studies showing that ceramides - especially when used in certain ratios with cholesterol and fatty acids - do hydrate the skin and can help to repair the skin barrier. I used to think acne was just something teenagers dealt with, but when I hit 30, I started getting it despite having clear skin throughout my teens.
