Ceramides make up the largest share of that mixture. When it is depleted — by harsh cleansers, over-exfoliation, retinoids, dry air, hot showers — water escapes more easily and irritants get in more easily. That is what a damaged barrier is, and it shows up as tightness, stinging, flaking and sudden sensitivity to products that used to be fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApplying ceramides supplies the same class of lipid the barrier is short of. This is one of the few places in skincare where the ingredient and the problem match this directly, and the supporting evidence is solid rather than suggestive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere it fits: this is the repair-and-maintain step, not a treatment. It will not clear acne, fade pigmentation or smooth wrinkles. Its job is to make the rest of your routine survivable, which matters most if you use retinoids or acids — barrier damage is the single most common reason people abandon those.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf your skin currently stings when you apply almost anything, stop the actives for a fortnight and use only a gentle cleanser and a ceramide moisturiser. That usually resolves it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApply as the final step\u003c\/strong\u003e of your routine, after serums.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse it on slightly damp skin\u003c\/strong\u003e so there is water to hold in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApply morning and night,\u003c\/strong\u003e and more generously at night if skin feels tight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFollow with sunscreen every morning.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/cosrx\"\u003eCOSRX range at EmartGCC\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does a damaged skin barrier feel like?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTightness, stinging from products that used to be fine, flaking, redness and unusual sensitivity.
