What's in the formula?
Our formula is unique because it contains pseudoceramides, which are synthetic ceramides that are more stable, planet-friendly and able to hydrate skin as well as able to better mimic the composition of natural lipids and the skin’s natural structure compared to plant-derived ceramides. The range also contains other skin-boosting, active-level ingredients like azelaic acid, which is a powerful antioxidant with a similar effect to a leave-on exfoliant and helps to refine skin texture. There’s also niacinamide, to help even skin tone, and glycerin, a humectant that helps skin retain moisture. Fragrance Free | Sensitive Skin Friendly | Vegan | Cruelty Free
How it works
- 5% SK-Influx® V MB ceramide blend with AP, NP and EOP: Restores the protective barrier function of the skin and has been shown to significantly decrease TEWL, improving the stratum corneum (top layer of skin) barrier repair.
- 3% niacinamide: A form of vitamin B3 with humectant properties that helps protect the skin barrier by supporting the skin’s production of ceramides, as well as drawing in water and locking it in place.
- 2% azelaic acid: A naturally occurring acid with a similar effect to a mild, leave-on exfoliant, helping to unclog pores and refine the skin's surface. It is also a potent antioxidant and helps to diminish the appearance of blemishes and discolouration. ‘Tells’ cells at the skin’s surface how to behave and encouraging them to produce more collagen and elastin.
- 2% glycerin: A humectant that helps to retain moisture in the skin 1.5% biolin: A cosmetic prebiotic sugar that supports the microbial protective flora of the skin. With biolin, skin microbiota recovers faster and harmful organisms are reduced.

HOW TO APPLYHOW
- Step 2 of your routine – treat.
- Massage into skin morning and evening after using Ceramide Fix Cleansing Balm and Hyaluronic Fix Extreme4 Concentrate 2%, and follow with Hyaluronic Fix Extreme4 Overnight Bounce Water Cream in the evenings.
TIPS
- Our Ceramide Fix range is ideal for pairing with our hydrating Hyaluronic Fix Extreme4 range. They both help skin to retain moisture – Ceramide Fix by repairing the skin barrier so that it’s able to retain moisture again, and Hyaluronic Fix Extreme4 to add moisture back into skin and to lock it in.
- Ceramides also help to improve skin’s tolerance of active ingredients, such as glycolic and salicylic acids by protecting the skin barrier – use Ceramide Fix Serum 12% on evenings when you aren’t using acids to keep it soothed and protected.
