The light and heat damage produced by laser treatments inhibits glucosylceramide synthase (GCS), thereby affecting the formation of ceramides and destroying the lipid matrix of the outermost layer of skin. If unchecked, the ensuing disruption and loss of epidermal keratin can result in the breakdown of the skin’s protective function, leading to significant water loss and dry, flaky, and sensitive skin.

The perfect blend of the ceramide 3 form the lipid-soluble compound of our Moisture Retention Factor (MRF), an easily absorbed and protective layer which rapidly replenishing the natural moisture barrier of damaged skin and ameliorates dryness, restoring the skin to its ideal water-oil balance.
