Ceramides are the lipids that sit between skin cells and help skin hold on to moisture, which is why they appear in so many cleansers, moisturisers and night creams made for dry or easily irritated skin. This edit gathers ten ceramide-rich formulas in one place.
If you want the detail before choosing, our glossary entry on ceramides explains what they do and which actives they sit well alongside, while our guide to the skin barrier covers why it weakens with age, weather and over-exfoliation.

Frequently asked questions
Which ceramide product should I start with?
Which ceramide product should I start with?
For a compromised or dry barrier, start with PRIORI LCA fx140 Barrier Restore Complexe or Senté Dermal Repair Ultra Nourish, both packed with ceramides to rebuild the look and feel of a healthy barrier. Apply as your final night step over any serum. Within a week or two skin feels less tight and looks less flaky.
What do ceramides do for my skin?
What do ceramides do for my skin?
Ceramides are lipids that make up much of the skin's outer barrier, so topping them up reinforces moisture retention and calms the look of redness. Revision Skincare DermProtect Barrier Defense pairs ceramides with soothing actives for reactive, easily-irritated skin. Layer it morning and night when your barrier feels under pressure.
Which ceramide products suit post-treatment skin?
Which ceramide products suit post-treatment skin?
After a peel, laser or any barrier-stressing treatment, reach for iS Clinical Sheald Recovery Balm or Revision Skincare CMT Post-Procedure Cream to comfort and protect skin while it recovers. Apply a thin layer whenever skin feels tight. These occlusive, ceramide-rich textures are built for post-treatment care rather than everyday wear.
Should I use ceramides alongside retinol and acids?
Should I use ceramides alongside retinol and acids?
Ceramides are the perfect partner for strong actives, buffering the dryness that retinol and acids bring. On retinol nights, layer AlumierMD HydraLight or Skinbetter Science Refresh Hydration Boosting Cream over your serum to keep the barrier calm. Around the eyes, Medik8 Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye combines vitamin A with ceramides in one gentle step.
Are ceramides good for redness-prone skin?
Are ceramides good for redness-prone skin?
For redness-prone, reactive skin, AlumierMD Calm-R Serum and Senté Dermal Repair Ultra Nourish use ceramides to soothe and strengthen without heavy fragrance. Layer Calm-R under Ultimate Boost Serum for hydration, then seal with Dermal Repair. This trio settles the look of flushing while it rebuilds comfort.
