Phytoceramides are the plant-derived equivalent of ceramides, a lipid that keeps your skin hydrated and plump. You start to lose ceramides as you age, and as an outcome, your skin beings to appear rough and wrinkled. Taking phytoceramides orally recovers the natural outer layer of the skin. These effective molecules work from the inside out, getting soaked up into the bloodstream and carried to the inner layer of your skin. From there, they permeate to the outermost layer where they bring back the cracked and damaged barrier, moisturize and fill out wrinkles and sun-damaged areas.
