Locks in moisture - the ceramide + ha intense moisturizer
is an effective solution that locks in and replenishes moisture levels to heal severely dry, damaged, or compromised skin. It offers 72 hours of moisturization.
Calms irritated skin - human skin is naturally made up of ceramides, but these fatty acids are lost over time. This results in dull, dry and irritated skin, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, aging. Continuous usage of this moisturizer forms a protective layer on the skin that calms irritated skin, slows the aging process and keeps skin hydrated for long.
Treats acne & pigmentation – the ceramide & hyaluronic acid contained in the formula has been added and approved by board-certified dermatologists to repair skin damage and retain moisture while speeding up the healing process.
