Ceramiden complex - Ceramide-PCD®

Ceramide complex - skin care

Ceramides are lipid molecules that occur in high concentrations in the cell membranes of the outer layer of the skin. Ceramides keep the skin cells together and form a protective layer that provides the skin its fullness and proper degree of moisture. In addition, they also form a barrier against external influences.

Ceramides as a food supplement

With ceramides in a dietary supplement you restore these natural fatty acids. Concentrations in the skin decrease as you grow older, due to lifestyle and environmental factors. Ceramides form approximately 40% of the lipids in the stratum corneum, the outermost skin layer. There are 9 different types of ceramides, appropriately labeled number 1 to 9. The regular diet does not contain many ceramides; dietary supplements make for a handy solution.

What are Beauty Ceramides?

Doctor's Best Beauty Ceramides contains Ceramide-PCD®. This is a 100% rice-based phytoceramid complex with astaxtantine as a supporting ingredient. This combination nourishes and protects the skin from the inside. As a food supplement, the ceramides find their way through the body to the skin where they improve the appearance of the skin. This product works synergistically with serums and creams that are applied locally to the skin.

Why ceramides from rice?

Ceramide-PCD® is a 100% rice-based phytoceramid complex because it is the most effective. Ceramides from rice work better than those from other plant sources such as wheat or konjac root.

The number 1 nutrient for the skin

More moisturizing creams are sold than any other beauty product. This has its reasons. Water is the most important nutrient for the skin: it is key to skin health. The skin is healthier when well-hydrated; it also looks smoother, fine lines and wrinkles disappear and roughness decreases. It is therefore logical that any skin product able to retain the skin’s most nutrient can claim a positive effect on it.
