CLICK HERETable 6 and Table 7 are particularly interesting in my personal opinion so I wouldn’t skip over them.RELATED ACADEMIC LITERATURE[This Study] briefly touches on the merit of Ceramide-containing moisturizers during retinoid therapy in one section. IMO the evidence is more tentative in this one because it wasn’t compared to a moisturizer without ceramides. Nonetheless, I consider the research to be supportive. Skip to the “Excessive Skin Peeling” section if you don’t care about the rest of the study.[This paper] explored the therapeutic potential of ceramides for a range of dermatological conditions. The segment on acne vulgaris (AV) reported that in one small clinical trial: acne patients experienced improved adherence with their acne treatments and less adverse reactions when both a ceramide-containing cleanser and a ceramide-containing cream were used. Interestingly, applying the ceramide products prior to their topical acne medications did not seem to interfere with the efficacy of their acne treatments.[This research] is not related to acne treatment but its findings do reinforce that various topical products containing ceramides are effective treatments for reducing TEWL and resolving skin barrier dysfunction.
