Cholesterol and tri-ceramide complex
Work well together
Use them together in the same routine, applying the ceramide complex first and cholesterol second to lock in moisture. They team up to strengthen your skin barrier and stop dryness better than either one alone. If your skin feels too heavy, you can switch to a lighter moisturizer or wait a few extra minutes between steps.

Questions and answers
Can you use cholesterol and tri-ceramide complex together?
Yes, cholesterol and tri-ceramide complex work well together to help replicate the natural lipid structure of the skin barrier and reduce water loss. Combining them in creams or emulsions is especially beneficial for dry, sensitive, or barrier-impaired skin.
Which goes first, cholesterol or tri-ceramide complex?
Neither cholesterol nor tri-ceramide complex goes first because they work well together to replicate the skin barrier's natural lipid structure, and you should use them together in creams or emulsions.
Are cholesterol and tri-ceramide complex good for sensitive skin?
Yes, cholesterol and tri-ceramide complex work well together to help strengthen barrier function and reduce TEWL, making them beneficial for sensitive skin. They can be used daily in creams and emulsions to help rebalance the skin lipid structure.
