Protective Skin Serum with Ceramides is an ultra-light, nourishing serum that reinforces the skin's natural barrier.

Good to know
Questions, answered
The practical things clients ask us about this product.
Can I use this serum right after a peel or microneedling treatment?
Yes. The ceramides and barrier lipids in this serum are especially well suited to post-procedure skin, when the barrier is more vulnerable. Follow the guidance your treatment provider gave you for when to reintroduce products, and start with a thin layer once or twice a day.
Does this replace my moisturizer?
No. Think of this serum as a barrier-support step layered under your moisturizer. Follow with your usual moisturizer to seal it in, and always finish with SPF in the morning.
How is this different from a hyaluronic acid serum?
A hyaluronic acid serum pulls water into the skin. This serum focuses on rebuilding the ceramides and lipids that hold that water in. For dry or barrier-compromised skin, the two work well together — hyaluronic acid first, then this serum, then moisturizer.
Can I use this after a facial or microneedling?
Follow your aftercare instructions first. Gentle, fragrance-free products usually come back within a few days. We'll tell you exactly when at your appointment.
Can I use this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Many gentle products are fine, but every pregnancy is different. Check the full ingredient list with your doctor or midwife, and tell us you're expecting so we can review your routine.
Should I patch test first?
If your skin is sensitive or you have allergies, yes. Apply a small amount behind the ear or on the inner arm once a day for a few days before using it on your face.
