How it works

The panel on this toner names five forms of ceramide rather than one: Ceramide NP, Ceramide NS, Ceramide AP, Ceramide AS, Ceramide EOP. 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 panel it sits alongside Niacinamide, Tocopherol and Allantoin. Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.

Key benefits

  • Five forms of ceramide on one panel, not a single token inclusion
  • Niacinamide on the same panel, the formula's active
  • Tocopherol on the same panel, the formula's antioxidant
  • Korean GS1 barcode matched against a Korea sourcing supplier's record for this item

Z+PIDERM ECF Skin Barrier Cream Toner

How to use

  1. Use the ECF Skin Barrier Cream Toner straight after cleansing, morning and evening, while the face is still damp.
  2. Apply an appropriate amount to either a cotton pad or directly on palms. Gently pad to absorb into skin.
  3. It goes on before serum and moisturizer, and the damp layer it leaves is what the step above it holds on to.
  4. Twice a day, every day. Do not let it dry down completely before the next layer goes on, or you lose the reason for applying it to damp skin.

Worth knowing

  • Patch test on a small area first and wait a day before full use, especially the first time.
