Think of ceramides as the mortar between bricks-if the bricks are your skin cells. Ceramides help hold skin together by forming a protective layer that limits moisture loss and protects against visible damage from pollution and other environmental stressors. In addition, ceramides-even more than retinol, niacinamide, and peptides-are one of the anti-aging "powerhouses" responsible for supporting skin's dynamic nature. Two particular ceramide precursors-phytosphingosine and sphingolipids-actually help skin make more ceramides.
