Ceramide's Nourish and Repair Skin

A key feature of P. acnes colonization is inflammation, and the presence of several heat-shock proteins, known targets of the immune response. P. acnes also produce destructive enzymes that cause additional inflammation of the surroundin tissue. This inflammation leads to the swelling, soreness and redness associated with comedones or pimples. CTRL® utilizes advanced Ceramide technology:

• Cermides have been shown in independent trials to correct and repair membrane defects of the stratum corneum lipid barrier
• In these same trials Cermides have been shown to activate the skin lipid synthesis, regeneration by stimulation of epidermal renewal and repair (filaggrin, aquaporin)
• Ceramides have ben shown to help revitalize dry skin by optimizing the total epidermal water management system repairing the skin’s own water protection barrier
