Dr. Mercola Ceremides for Skin Hydration, 30 Capsules

The outer layer of your skin, your epidermis, acts as your body’s protective barrier to environmental elements.

Excessive exposure to these elements can damage your skin’s barrier and lead to a decrease in your skin’s natural ceramide content – waxy lipid molecules in your epidermis – which play a major role in keeping your skin hydrated, soft and young looking.

A loss of ceramides in your skin can cause dryness and fine lines and sags, as well as a blemished or aged appearance.

Fortunately, dietary or oral ceramides may increase the synthesis of new ceramides inside your skin and support healthy skin barrier function, even better than topical ceramide creams.*

Our Ceramides for Skin Hydration contains the following ingredients designed to help hydrate and protect your skin from within:

• Konjac Root Extract – A gluten-free source of plant ceramides standardized to 5 mg glucosylceramides, shown in studies to help replenish ceramides and restore normal hydration in the skin.*
• Red Orange Complex™ – A patented fruit extract made from the juice of three types of Sicilian blood oranges that provides standardized antioxidant protection against damaging free radicals, as well as everyday stressors, including intensive physical exercise.*
• Vitamin C – Ascorbic Acid derived from Red Orange Complex™ to assist with antioxidant protection.*
