Pharmacological Mechanism

Ceramides, cholesterol, and free fatty acids replenish intercellular lipids depleted during retinoid-induced epidermal turnover, preventing micro-fissuring and barrier breakdown.

Miko Routine Guidance

Layer moisturizer containing ceramides over retinoid (the sandwich technique can be used if sensitive).
