Ceramides and squalene are lipids that are naturally found in the skin's stratum corneum. They play a crucial role in maintaining the skin's barrier function by filling in the gaps between skin cells, creating a strong and protective barrier that prevents moisture loss and blocks out irritants, bacteria and toxins to help maintain healthy, supple skin. Unfortunately, the level of ceramides and squalene in the skin naturally decreases as we age, which can then lead to dryness, tightness, wrinkles, as just like a dam with a damaged gate, water cannot be locked in, which means no matter how much hydration you give the skin, it will still feel dry. Skin with a disrupted skin barrier is also more prone to sensitivity, redness, inflammations, and acne.
Similar to ceramides, CoQ10 (ubiquinone) is also a substance crucial in our skin health, as not only does it energize skin cells and clear out free radical, it also helps reduce inflammation. Studies suggest that when applied topically, CoQ10 can improve skin texture and smoothness, decrease signs of visible aging such as wrinkles and dull skin tone, protect against environmental damage, as well as alleviate irritations, inflammations, dry patches, and redness. However, our body also produces less CoQ10 with age.
Designed to be used as an ampoule after toners and water-based serums, and before face oils and moisturizers, Marie Reynolds London Ceramide Complex Supercharger is a beautiful blend of ceramides, squalane, CoQ10, hyaluronic acid and luxurious oils in a lightweight hydrogel texture. By infusing skin cells with these much needed substances, as well as fatty acids, antioxidants, minerals, vitamins, polyphenols, phytonutrients, and anti-inflammatory, antibacterial properties, it quickly helps to repair and maintain the skin’s lipid barrier, soothe inflammations and irritations, and nourish skin cells, bringing the skin back to health.
Not only is it beneficial for sensitive, inflamed, eczema, rosacea, dry and dehydrated skin, its lightweight, easily-absorbed hydrogel texture is also exceptionally suitable for oily and acne-prone skin, and those that are reluctant in using face oils.
