USES FOR THIS PRODUCT
This is a useful oil for very dry or sensitive skin and for use after chemical peels, especially in the stage that skin with brown spots starts to lightly crust over and heal before flaking off and revealing a pinkish color brown spot.
It is also useful if you have applied too much retinol or Vitamin C serum or done an at-home dermabrasion or at-home peel and have gotten too dry and irritated, leaving your skin looking red, rough and generally older instead of dewy and younger.
It a beneficial product to have if you have excessively dried out your skin with acne medications and need to soothe the skin before resuming your regimen. It is not a daily moisturizer for regular skin with no current issue, it is a rescue type oil for when a problem exists and skin needs to heal.
The serum, which is an oil base, applies well alone but I think applied better mixed with a cream, especially its’ sister product Beta Glucan Cream. I have been happy seeing some stubborn brown spots on my upper cheek near my undereye that I have not been able to improve with Retinol or Vitamin C serum start to lighten quickly when I use the Beta Glucan and this Ceramide together. The skin looked slightly pink (but not warm to the touch or uncomfortable) then the brown spot was sort of whiter and started to fade within a week.
ALL NATURAL: EVEN THE PRESERVATIVES ARE NATURAL
Like others in the Serum Ceuticals line, the Ceramide is all natural, not even any preservative chemicals. To naturally preserve the Vitamins A, C and E and other ingredients in the serum, a natural charge is used by pairing these vitamins with Nitrogen and Argon. Because of this novel way of preserving the ingredients, when you open the bottle, there is a little fizz escaping like when opening carbonated beverages for the first time. To retain the preservative natural charge, don’t leave the cap off excessively and keep it stored in a dry place. It is a cobalt blue bottle to limit the light getting into the bottle, and there is a special kind of dropper cap – a European dropper that stays at the mouth of the bottle that does not let air or light in, but precisely lets one drop out. This is much better than a typical dropper that comes with many skincare products because it protects the bottle contents. I also like that I can’t accidentally spill the liquid.
OTHER INGREDIENTS:
Researching the main ingredients showed:
Ceramide-3 and Ceramide-6. With aging, there is a decline in ceramide, the main component in the epidermis of the skin.
Kojic acid. It is used in the sake fermentation process and in cosmetics it is used to lighten skin, such as the brown spots from aging, excess sun exposure and pregnancy “mask”. Because of this ingredient, do a spot test and check for a reaction.
Arnica Oil and Grapeseed Oil to soothe Rosehip oil and Vitamin C based oil to soothe and promote collagen.
CONCLUSION:
I found that when my skin has raw, damaged, irritated or peeling from sun damage, sunburn or windburn, dermabrasion, or harsh chemicals, adding this serum to my moisturizing cream greatly improves the appearance of the skin during and after the healing process. It does this without rough chemical additives, yet is still very effective.
