Niacinamide strengthens the skin barrier and boosts ceramide production, while hyaluronic acid provides intense hydration. Complementary hydration mechanisms.
Multiple ceramide types better mimic the natural stratum corneum lipid composition, providing more complete barrier support.
Niacinamide boosts endogenous ceramide synthesis. Combined with exogenous ceramides, barrier repair is accelerated.
HA hydrates from within while ceramides seal the barrier from outside. The gold standard humectant + barrier repair combination.
