KisoCare Hitomide Essence 10 No.020 with Ceramides for Dry and Sensitive Skin

Suitable for:

• Dry and dehydrated skin
• Those experiencing tightness after washing
• Damaged or weakened skin barrier
• Sensitive and reactive skin

KisoCare Hitomide Essence 10 No.020 is a concentrated lotion-essence with 10% ceramides, designed to restore the skin's natural protective barrier. Using nanoemulsion technology, the ceramides effectively penetrate the stratum corneum and help the skin retain moisture. The formula is aimed not just at hydration but at restoring the protective layer, eliminating chronic dryness, and reducing sensitivity.

Key  ingredients and their effects:

• Ceramides are lipids identical to those naturally present in the stratum corneum that form the skin's protective barrier. They integrate into damaged areas of the lipid layer, restoring its integrity and reducing moisture loss. As a result, the skin begins to retain water better, becomes more resistant to external irritants, and experiences reduced dryness and improved elasticity. Ceramide deficiency is one of the key causes of dehydration, sensitivity, and weakened barrier function.
• Hydrogenated lecithin and phytosterols form an auxiliary lipid system that enhances the effectiveness of ceramides. These components are structurally similar to the skin's own lipids, helping active ingredients integrate more easily into the intercellular space. They support the repair of the damaged barrier, enhance the skin's ability to retain moisture, and help normalize its protective functions.
• The formula contains four types of hyaluronic acid with different molecular weights, providing multi-level hydration. Larger molecules form a moisture-retaining layer on the skin's surface, preventing water evaporation, while smaller molecules can penetrate deeper into the stratum corneum and support internal hydration levels. This helps reduce dehydration, increase skin density, and improve elasticity.
• The included amino acids are components of the skin's natural moisturizing factor (NMF). They help maintain optimal hydration levels, enhance the skin's ability to retain moisture, and support the restoration of its natural balance. Additionally, amino acids improve skin texture, reduce dryness, and increase softness and elasticity, making the skin more resistant to dehydration and external stressors.
• Plant extracts help maintain healthy skin and reduce its reactivity. These components help normalize the condition of the epidermis, reduce signs of irritation, and support restorative processes.

The lotion-essence helps restore the protective barrier, deeply hydrates, reduces sensitivity, and makes the skin softer, smoother, and more resilient.
