What the gurus are saying

This ceramide cream draws mixed reactions from the experts who tested it. One guru found the price steep at $78 and flagged the heavy fragrance load (rosemary oil, orange oils, lavender, geraniol, limonene, and others) pointing out that similar ceramide and mushroom extract benefits are available in cheaper alternatives without the fragrance. Another guru is currently using it and finds it effective, though also notes the cost. The fragrance ingredients mean anyone with sensitive or fragrance-reactive skin may want to patch-test first.

"For beneficial ingredients it's got ceramides, vitamin E, acetyl glucosamine, mushroom extract, and chamomile, but a lot of those can be found in the Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream for about a quarter of the price, without all the fragrance ingredients. [...] This one was a clear loss for me. I tested it out a couple times and [...] I wasn't impressed with it, I didn't like the fragrance in it."

"This is the Medik8 Advanced Night Ceramide Cream, which is what I'm using currently with my Tran fabulous. It's expensive, not a cheap brand, but it's really great."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Vitamin C

Topical vitamin C is an antioxidant with reasonable evidence for dullness and uneven tone. It breaks down in light and air, so how a product is formulated and packaged matters as much as the percentage on the front.

Ceramides

Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
