Consider your skin type.
If you have dry skin, then you'll want to go for a ceramide moisturizer that's formulated as a rich cream or thicker lotion. If your skin is oily or acne-prone, a lightweight lotion, gel-cream, face serum, or essence that's labeled oil-free and/or non-comedogenic will be your best choice.
And contrary to what you may think, ceramide moisturizing ingredients won’t cause breakouts, so they work for any skin type, says Dr. Zeichner. “Ceramide deficiencies and barrier dysfunction have been proven to contribute to inflammation and acne, so it's actually beneficial to add one to your routine,” he adds.
Look for ceramides at the top of the ingredients list.
“They should be close to the top, and if ceramides are way down near the middle or bottom of the list, that means there’s probably not much in there,” says Dr. Gohara.
