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 Squalane does
A lightweight, stable oil that mimics your skin's own sebum. It softens and seals in moisture without clogging pores, so even oily skin usually tolerates it.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use Ceramides and Squalane together?
Yes, and they work even better together. Both are gentle, barrier-friendly ingredients. Layering them gives you extra hydration and comfort with no conflict at all.
Which goes first, Ceramides or Squalane?
Apply Ceramides first, then Squalane. 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 Squalane in the morning or at night?
Squalane: works morning or night. Press 2–3 drops in as the last step at night, or mix a drop into your moisturiser.
