Phytosphingosine

Phytosphingosine naturally clears breakouts, repairs the moisture barrier, and smooths fine lines for a healthy look. It suits dry skin and oily skin best, and comes in rich creams. This ingredient fits smoothly into a routine because it works well with bio-placenta peptides, hexapeptides, and acetyl hexapeptide-3.
