23 Best Ceramides Skincare in Malaysia for Youthful Skin

Ceramides have the ability to tackle many skin problems such as dullness, dehydration, dryness, wrinkles, fine lines and irritation. It also has anti-ageing properties to keep your skin firm and young even as you age. However, although this ingredient is common and often hear of, many are still unaware of its full benefits as well as what it really is.

Beauty Insider has got your back with this All You Need to Know (and more!) guide on Ceramides.

What are Ceramides?

Ceramides are a natural part of our body. Ceramides are fats that are highly concentrated in the stratum corneum which is the uppermost layer of our skin. Essential as a protective barrier, giving them a boost would create a smooth, supple, plump and hydrated look on our faces. With a strong protective barrier, the skin will be less prone to irritation, itchiness, or dryness.

The Ceramides hold the skin together by adding a strong protective layer that holds in moisture and protects the skin from visible damage from environmental stressors and pollutants. Besides that, ceramides can also be grouped together with other incredible ingredients such as retinol, niacinamide and peptides that have proven to be great ingredients to fight against wrinkles, fine lines, and even acne.

The best part about ceramides? They’re suitable for ALL skin types! Take a look at our suggestions on the best ceramides for your skin in Malaysia.
