Outside BodyPotential Benefits
Skin hydration is essential for maintaining skin elasticity, barrier function, and overall appearance. It reduces fine lines, protects against environmental stressors, and improves skin smoothness and suppleness.
Ceramides improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by enhancing hydration and fortifying the skin's barrier function. This leads to a more youthful appearance.
Ceramides NP strengthen the skin's barrier, protecting against environmental damage and reducing sensitivity and inflammation. This leads to healthier, more hydrated, and resilient skin.
Ceramides AP strengthen the skin barrier, improving resilience against environmental stressors and preventing moisture loss. This leads to healthier, more hydrated skin less susceptible to irritation.
Ceramides like AP fortify the skin barrier, reducing penetration of irritants and allergens. This reduces sensitivity and reactivity, especially for those with sensitive skin conditions.
Ceramides EOP fortify the skin barrier, decreasing sensitivity to irritants and allergens. This leads to improved tolerance and reduced reactivity.
Possible Side Effects
Gastrointestinal upset involves a variety of digestive symptoms like nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. It can range from mild discomfort to severe pain and may indicate an underlying condition if persistent.
Allergic reactions are hypersensitivity responses to allergens, ranging from mild skin irritation to life-threatening anaphylaxis. Symptoms vary widely and are caused by an immune response.
Gastrointestinal discomfort includes nausea, bloating, and diarrhea, typically mild and transient. Symptoms are often dose-dependent and vary in severity.
Scientific Evidence
Studies on the role of ceramides in skin barrier function and hydration. Research on the efficacy of topical and oral ceramide supplementation. Clinical trials assessing the impact of ceramides on skin conditions like eczema and dryness.
