Ceramide Products for Skin

Our formulas with ceramides, which are lipids found in the skin barrier, help to lock in hydration and protect against external damage. As we age, our natural production of ceramides dwindles, resulting in a weakened skin barrier that looks dry, dull, and lifeless. Our range of ceramide moisturisers and serums are formulated to replenish this protective barrier, helping to deliver moisture, visible smoothness, and resilience to ageing, dry skin. These ‘skin-identical’ ceramides are easily absorbed, working to lock in moisture and combat dryness for skin that looks youthful and radiant.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are ceramides better than hyaluronic acid?

Ceramides and hyaluronic acid work in different ways and are often most effective when used together. While hyaluronic acid draws moisture into the skin, ceramides help seal it in by strengthening the skin barrier. Combining both offers optimal hydration and barrier support, making them a powerful pairing in any routine.

Medik8’s Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye is expertly formulated with barrier-boosting ceramides and hydrating hyaluronic acid filling spheres to visibly smooth,nourish the delicate under-eye area and reduce puffiness while you sleep.

Are ceramides good for mature skin?

Yes. As skin ages, natural ceramide levels decline, leading to dryness, sensitivity and a weakened barrier. Incorporating ceramides into your skincare routine can help restore moisture, improve elasticity and support a smoother, more resilient complexion, making them an excellent choice for mature skin.

Can I use ceramides every day?

Absolutely. Ceramides are gentle and well-tolerated by all skin types, making them ideal for daily use. Whether you're using a ceramide-rich moisturiser or layering serums, they help maintain long-term skin health and hydration with consistent application. 

Medik8’s Advanced Night Restore is a deeply replenishing night cream that combines ceramides with antioxidants and peptides to support overnight skin regeneration, strengthen the skin barrier, and leave the complexion visibly smoother, firmer, and well-rested by morning.

What should you not mix with ceramides?

Ceramides are incredibly versatile and tend to pair well with most skincare ingredients. In fact, they’re often used alongside actives like retinoids, exfoliating acids, and vitamin C to help support the skin barrier and minimise potential irritation. There’s no specific ingredient you need to avoid when using ceramides, they’re designed to complement and enhance your routine, not complicate it.

Are ceramides pore-clogging?

No, ceramides are non-comedogenic, which means they won’t clog pores. Although they’re rich, nourishing lipids, they’re skin-identical and easily absorbed, helping to restore the skin barrier without contributing to congestion. They’re suitable for all skin types, including oily or blemish-prone skin in need of barrier support.
