Peptides, ceramides, hyaluronic acid… What should we remember?
Peptides, ceramides, and hyaluronic acid... These names sound familiar, but you don't know exactly what they do? Don't panic! We'll decode these super-ingredients for you.
Peptides
Peptides are small chains of amino acids, essential for the production of collagen and elastin. Think of them as little coaches that send signals to your skin to regenerate and firm up.
Why do we love them?
➡️They boost skin firmness and tone.
➡️Ideal for mature skin or skin lacking elasticity.
➡️Generally excellent tolerance, even for sensitive skin.
When to use them?
For greater effectiveness, use in the evening, in a serum or targeted anti-aging cream.

Ceramides
Ceramides are lipids naturally present in the skin. They play a crucial role in the barrier function, maintaining hydration and protecting against external aggressions (pollution, wind, cold...).
Why do we love them?
➡️Perfect for dry, sensitive, or eczema-prone skin.
➡️Strengthen the skin barrier.
➡️They provide comfort and flexibility.
When to use them?
Morning and evening, in moisturizing creams or soothing masks.

Hyaluronic acid
Like a sponge, hyaluronic acid can retain up to 1000 times its weight in water. It plumps the skin, improves its elasticity, and reduces dehydration lines.
Why do we love it?
➡️Suitable for all skin types.
➡️Non-comedogenic and very well tolerated.
➡️Deeply hydrates without leaving a greasy residue.
When to use it?
Morning and evening, right after the lotion, on skin that is still slightly damp.

The final question: how do we integrate them together?
Good news: these three ingredients are complementary. You can absolutely use them in the same routine, following this order:
- Hyaluronic acid (hydration)
- Peptides (repair / anti-aging)
- Ceramides (protection)
By combining them intelligently, you offer your skin a winning trio for hydrated, plump and strengthened skin.
