What Ceramides does
Lipids that make up about half of your skin barrier. Topping them up reduces water loss, stinging and flakiness, which makes ceramides the best friend of anyone using retinoids or acids.

What Peptides does
Short chains of amino acids that signal skin to support collagen and repair. They are gentle, a good anti-ageing option for people who cannot tolerate retinoids, and they layer easily.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use Ceramides and Peptides together?
Yes, it is safe. There is no known chemical conflict between Ceramides and Peptides, and neither makes the other less effective. They share a goal (barrier and hydration), so together they reinforce each other.
Which goes first, Ceramides or Peptides?
Apply Peptides first, then Ceramides. The general rule is thinnest to thickest texture, and lowest pH first.
Should I use Ceramides in the morning or at night?
Ceramides: works morning or night. Use as your moisturiser step, morning and night. On nights with actives, you can buffer by applying a ceramide cream first.
Should I use Peptides in the morning or at night?
Peptides: works morning or night. Use morning and night after water-based serums. Low-pH acids applied at the same time can break some peptides down.
