Betaine and tri-ceramide complex: work well together

Work well together

Use them together by applying betaine first and the tri-ceramide complex second, because humectants attract water while ceramides lock it in. Betaine draws moisture deep into the skin so the tri-ceramide complex can seal it all in for lasting hydration. The shopper does not need to change anything since this combination is gentle and works well together.
