Quantity is the variable that matters: a thin film stretched over a whole body under-doses the lipids, and the driest areas, shins, elbows and knees, are the ones a single pass covers worst. Go back over those a second time instead of stretching one layer further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How does this differ from a standard body lotion?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: A standard body lotion is largely water and oils, which softens the surface and is gone within the day. ZEROID Intensive Lotion is built around Ceramide NP at 5% held in a patented multi-lamellar structure, so it supplies the lipid the barrier is structurally made from in the layered form skin actually uses, with phytosphingosine, Panthenol at 1%, Madecassoside and Allantoin covering the irritation side. It is a barrier product that happens to come in lotion form rather than a moisturiser with ceramides added to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does 5% ceramide mean a heavy, greasy lotion?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: No, and the two are unrelated variables. Richness comes from oils, butters and waxes, whereas ceramide concentration is a question of how much of one specific barrier lipid is present and how well it is organised, and the multi-lamellar structure is what lets a high ceramide load sit inside a thin texture. A greasy finish is not evidence of a well-supplied barrier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I use this on my face as well as on knees and elbows?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes.

ZEROID Intensive Cream does the same with hyaluronic acid and glycerin, then adds Ceramide NP at 1% and Panthenol to rebuild the lipid layer that stops the water leaving again.

The improvement of over 90% was measured in hydration levels immediately after application, which tells you how much water the formula puts into the surface at once.
