What is the effect of ceramide on the skin

The skin care products and cosmetics we often use in life can achieve a magical concealing effect on the skin, and at the same time make the skin look more three-dimensional and very beautiful. However, we don’t know the ingredients of makeup, and don’t know what ingredients to add to cosmetics to achieve the effect of beauty and skin care. In fact, it is very simple, that is, the common ceramide, which can repair the skin surface, play an anti-aging role, and prevent wrinkles. At the same time, it can play a good concealing role and is also used in cosmetics. Various cosmetics will contain a small amount of ceramide. The application range of ceramide is also very wide. It can prevent skin allergies and alleviate skin aging. Although ceramide has many effects, it is a drug after all, so you must understand it carefully before use.

Cosmetics contain

Used in cosmetics:

Ceramide is the latest generation of moisturizer developed in recent years. It is a water-soluble lipid substance. It has a similar structure to the material that makes up the stratum corneum of the skin. It can quickly penetrate into the skin and combine with the water in the stratum corneum to form a network structure to lock in moisture.

Ceramide is the main component (>50%) of the intercellular lipids in the outermost stratum corneum of human skin. It plays an important role in preventing water loss and protecting against external stimuli. It is responsible for protecting the skin and moisturizing and hydrating it. There are also many research reports pointing out that the use of topical creams containing ceramide can prevent allergic skin diseases and inhibit melanin brown spots.

As we age and enter old age, the amount of ceramide in our skin gradually decreases. The appearance of abnormal skin symptoms such as dry skin and rough skin type is also due to the decrease in the amount of ceramide. Therefore, to prevent this type of skin abnormality, supplementing ceramide is the ideal way.

In daily chemicals

Using revitalizing essence cosmetics containing ceramide can enhance the skin's anti-aging function, keep the skin elastic, smooth and delicate, and reduce the formation of facial wrinkles.

Application in medicine

Ceramide plays an important messenger role in the biological effects induced by various cytokines, vitamin D3, Fas and CD28 ligands, and its role in mediating cell apoptosis has attracted increasing attention. At the same time, ceramide is also involved in various physiological and pathological processes such as cell differentiation. Ceramide can induce apoptosis in epidermal keratinocytes during culture. Ceramide is a decomposition product of sphingomyelin in the bilayer of biological membranes and is a recognized second messenger. Ceramide plays a wide and important role in the growth, proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and damage of cells.

Notice

It is worth noting that: There are already many moisturizing products for this purpose, but studies have found that the type, concentration and ratio of added oils to other oils will affect the effect. If the ratio is wrong, it will even reduce the original moisturizing function of the skin (Source: Dr. Chiu Pin-chi, "The Truth About Ceramide", SkinDoc Chiu's Cosmetics Selection Essence Edition, 2009/02/12).
