Top 10 ceramide serums that are vegan, for every budget
Looking for a ceramide serum to take your skincare routine to the next level? Here are 10 vegan picks for every budget.
Who can benefit from using a ceramide serum?
The short answer is, pretty much everyone! Ceramides, whether in a serum or a moisturiser, offer a wide range of benefits that cater for all skin types:
Dry skin: Ceramides help restore the skin barrier and retain moisture, making them ideal for those with dry or dehydrated skin.
Ageing skin: As we age, our skin naturally loses ceramides, leading to dryness and the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. Ceramide serums can help improve skin elasticity and firmness.
Sensitive skin: Ceramides help strengthen the skin barrier, making it more resilient and less prone to irritation.
Acne-prone skin: While ceramides are primarily known for their moisturising properties, they can also benefit those with acne-prone skin by maintaining a healthy skin barrier without clogging pores.
