What does the term "Ceramides" mean?

What is its practical significance?

Understanding the concept helps to better comprehend cosmetic descriptions, specialist recommendations, and mechanisms occurring in the skin or hair. However, it does not mean that identifying one element alone is sufficient to choose a therapy.

What should you pay attention to?

It is not advisable to evaluate a product, ingredient, or procedure solely based on the popularity of a term. Formulation, concentration, method of use, contraindications, and skin condition are all important. Introduce changes one by one and observe the reaction.
