Glycerin and tri-ceramide complex
Work well together
Use them together by applying glycerin first and then the tri-ceramide complex, because humectants attract moisture while ceramides lock it in. Glycerin pulls water into the skin so the ceramides can seal it there for long-lasting hydration. The shopper can use more time between applying the two products or switch to a gentler strength if needed.
