Healthy lamellar lipids

In healthy skin, lamellar lipids are layered in a tight configuration, preventing moisture from escaping.3,4

Flare lamellar lipids

During a flare, the skin’s lamellar lipids are shorter and broken, leaving gaps that allow water to escape and allergens, irritants and pathogens to penetrate.3,4

Lipid Lamellar Technology

Lipid Lamellar Technology features lipids such as free fatty acids and ceramides. These integrate and bind to lipids in damaged skin, filling in gaps and arranging themselves in the right order to restore the skin barrier.5
