How it works
The Yam Root Vegan Milk Cream is a 80ml lotion, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The barrier lipid it is built around is Ceramide NP, named nineteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Ceramide NS, Ceramide AS and Ceramide AP, 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 lotion format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the lotion Isntree sells in Korea, Ceramide NP and all.

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. On this lotion's own ingredient list it is named nineteenth.
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 twentieth on this lotion's list, alongside Ceramide NP.
Ceramide ASbarrier lipid
Ceramide AS is a further member of the same lipid family. Its presence usually signals a formula built around a full ceramide profile rather than a single headline one. It is named twenty-first on this lotion's list, alongside Ceramide NP.
Ceramide APbarrier lipid
Ceramide AP is a second cosmetic ceramide, distinguished by an extra hydroxyl group. Formulas that name several ceramides are copying the mix skin actually holds rather than relying on one. It is named twenty-second on this lotion's list, alongside Ceramide NP.
Ceramide EOPbarrier lipid
Ceramide EOP is the ceramide with the longest tail, and in skin it acts as the rivet holding the lipid layers together. It is the third member of the standard cosmetic ceramide trio. It is named twenty-third on this lotion's list, alongside Ceramide NP.
Where does this lotion go in my routine?
As the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. Anything thinner than a lotion 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 lotion or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Ceramide NP and all. We match this lotion 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?
Ceramide NS, Ceramide AS and Ceramide AP. The order they are printed in on this lotion's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Ceramide NP sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Ceramide EOP, Phytosphingosine and Cholesterol.

How to use
- Use it as the final leave on step, once everything thinner has settled.
- Press a small amount across the face with flat hands rather than rubbing it in.
- Extend the same amount onto the neck, which most people leave out of the routine.
- Do not layer it under a thicker cream in the morning, because two moisturisers under makeup will pill.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this lotion on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Ceramide NP on the list.
- Introduce this lotion 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.

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 Pretty much every step of a Korean skin care routine is going to have some component of hydration.
