Key actives
Ceramide NPbarrier lipid
Ceramide NP is the most used cosmetic ceramide, the same class of lipid that makes up roughly half the mortar between cells in the outer layer of skin. Added to a cream it slots into that structure, which is why ceramide formulas feel less leaky rather than merely greasy. It is the entry this cream is named after, and the list carries it.
Tocopherolantioxidant
Tocopherol is vitamin E. It is an oil-soluble antioxidant that protects the oils in a formula from going rancid and works on skin as an emollient, and it is regularly paired with vitamin C because each keeps the other going for longer. The panel names it forty-first on this cream's list, beside Ceramide NP.
Phytosphingosinebarrier lipid
Phytosphingosine is the backbone every ceramide is built on, and skin uses it in its own lipid layer. In a formula it works with ceramides and cholesterol and also keeps the product stable against microbes. The panel names it forty-second on this cream's list, beside Ceramide NP.
Ceramide NSbarrier lipid
Ceramide NS is another of the ceramides skin makes for itself. It is used alongside NP and AP so a formula supplies a mixture rather than a single lipid. It is named forty-fourth on this cream's list, alongside Ceramide NP.
Cholesterolbarrier lipid
Cholesterol is the third of the three lipids the outer layer of skin is built from, with ceramides and fatty acids. Formulas that carry all three are following the ratio skin itself holds. It is named forty-fifth on this cream's list, alongside Ceramide NP.
How to use
- Use it as the last step of your routine, morning and night, over any serum or lotion already applied. Warm a small amount between clean palms, then press it into the face and neck rather than dragging it across the skin.
Where does this cream go in my routine?
As the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. Anything thinner than a cream goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Ceramide NP and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market cream or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Ceramide NP and all. We match this cream to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
What else is on the list besides Ceramide NP?
Tocopherol, Phytosphingosine and Ceramide NS. The order they are printed in on this cream's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Ceramide NP sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Cholesterol, Ceramide AP and Ceramide AS.

How it works
The Green Tea Ceramide Cream is a 50ml cream, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The barrier lipid it is built around is Ceramide NP, named thirty-first on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Tocopherol, Phytosphingosine and Ceramide NS, so the barrier lipid is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Ceramide NP stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the cream format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the cream innisfree sells in Korea, Ceramide NP and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this cream on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Ceramide NP on the list.
- Introduce this cream on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Ceramide NP rather than to three changes at once.

What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
Ceramides are part fatty acid and part amino acid and are able to be the grout that keeps the building blocks of the skin together and functioning as a barrier between the inside and outside world.
Amy Kassouf, MDDermatologist, Cleveland Clinic Phytosphingosine is considered a precursor to ceramides, which are the dominant fat that fills in the cracks between skin cells.
