Ceramide is a particularly efficacious ingredient for maintaining skin moisture because it supports the skin barrier by filling the gaps, keeping hydration in and irritants out. It’s the key ingredient of the Purito SEOUL Luminous Ceramide Moisturizer, a dreamy concoction of 5 Ceramides, Squalane and Panthenol to replenish moisture back to the skin. When we say heavy-duty, we make no joke; the texture is rich to combat dry patches and soften the complexion.

Lip Treatment

Don’t forget about your lips: your pout is especially susceptible to dryness because it’s thinner than the skin on your face. The Abib PDRN Collagen Lip Mask Glazed Jelly drapes an intensely hydrating cocktail of plant-derived PDRN and Collagen on the lips, utilizing a Hydration SHield Technology to lock in all that goodness. As the transparent jelly adheres to the lips, it offers a glass-like shine and creates a volumized lip look.

Sunscreen
