WINTER SKIN NEEDS MORE. MEET OUR DEWY DAY CREAM. DEEP HYDRATION FOR THE COLDEST DAYS.
Ceramides are naturally occurring lipids that make up over 50% of your skin's outer barrier. In DIME formulas, ceramides help replenish the natural lipids that are lost from exposure to harsh environmental factors, the use of drying products and the natural aging process. They restore moisture, reinforce the skin's natural barrier and help protect it against harm from foreign elements like pollution, bacteria and irritants. Because ceramides are already present in healthy skin, adding them topically supports your skin's ability to heal, retain water and stay balanced.
Your skin's barrier is made of cells (like bricks) held together by lipids (like mortar). Ceramides are a key part of that mortar. When ceramides are depleted — whether from over-exfoliation, harsh cleansers, cold weather or aging — the barrier weakens. Water escapes, irritants get in and skin becomes dry, tight, red or reactive. Replenishing ceramides for dry skin helps restore that protective mortar, locking in moisture and keeping irritants out.
We formulate with clean beauty standards, pairing ceramides with complementary barrier-supporting ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and squalane. Use ceramides after actives (like bakuchiol) to buffer and protect, or layer them with hyaluronic acid serum for surface hydration plus lipid-level cushion.
● After cleansing and applying serums (like hyaluronic acid or vitamin C), seal with a ceramide moisturizer● Layer under SPF for daytime barrier protection
● Use after actives (like bakuchiol or niacinamide) to buffer and restore● Apply as your final moisturizer step to lock in hydration overnight
● Use ceramides twice daily to speed up skin barrier repair● Avoid harsh exfoliants or stripping cleansers while rebuilding
Combination skin tip: Ceramides work for all skin types. Even oily skin benefits from barrier support.
With consistent use, users report softer texture, less tightness, reduced redness and improved resilience to environmental stressors. Because ceramides work at the lipid level, they support long-term barrier health rather than just surface hydration.
Hyaluronic acid draws water into skin (humectant), while ceramides lock that water in by reinforcing the lipid barrier. They work beautifully together.
Anyone with dry, sensitive, reactive or aging skin — and anyone rebuilding skin barrier after using active ingredients like retinol.
