Ceramides for Barrier Repair and Dry, Reactive Skin

The SkinBetter A-Team Duo Kit combines two of the brand's advanced formulas to help defend, repair, and visibly rejuvenate skin. This professional-grade pairing targets multiple signs of aging while protecting against environmental and internal stressors for healthier, more radiant-looking skin. The kit features Allyl PQQ, a patented antioxidant technology that neutralizes free radicals produced by the body's natural processes.

This breakthrough antioxidant treatment goes beyond vitamins C and E with 17 additional antioxidants to protect against a wide range of environmental damage while also addressing internal oxidative stress. It improves tone, texture, and radiance, and is gentle enough for post-procedure use to support skin recovery.

Winner of 16 industry awards, AlphaRet merges a potent retinoid with lactic acid for exceptional renewal benefits with minimal irritation. In as little as four weeks, it visibly softens wrinkles, smooths uneven texture, and improves clarity, while added hydration counters the dryness often associated with retinoid use.

Together, these two products create a streamlined AM/PM routine that helps protect by day and repair by night. Apply Alto Advanced under sunscreen each morning, and layer AlphaRet over it at night. Regular use leaves skin looking smoother, firmer, and more even-toned, making the A-Team Duo Kit a good starting point if you want a clinically proven routine for visible aging.

SkinBetter Alto Advanced Defense and Repair Serum delivers a dual-defense approach, protecting skin from external environmental aggressors and internal oxidative stress. Packed with 19 antioxidants, this serum shields against free radicals and pollution while boosting the skin's natural renewal process. Apply one pump to clean, dry skin as your first serum after your hydrator, morning and night.

This formula combines vitamins C and E with advanced proprietary blends and rare botanical extracts. The result is a broad-spectrum defense system that helps prevent premature aging from daily environmental exposure while targeting internal oxidative stress. Allyl PQQ, a patented antioxidant technology, neutralizes free radicals from the body's natural processes.

Alto Advanced Defense and Repair Serum is enriched with bisabolol and ginger root extract to visibly reduce redness and restore comfort. Niacinamide, licorice extract, and peptides work together to improve hydration, brighten dull areas, and support firmer-looking skin. Vitamin C, a potent antioxidant, also supports collagen production and skin radiance.

Designed for both morning and evening application, this serum is a must-have for anyone looking to protect their skin from the visible signs of aging while actively improving its tone and texture. With consistent use, skin looks brighter, feels stronger, and is better equipped to handle the stresses of modern life.

ANFISA ÂN-DEFINE Ceramide Liner is a barrier-supporting lip liner formulated with a ceramide and peptide complex that conditions the natural lip contour while delivering soft, sculpted definition that holds through the day and into the night. The weightless suede formula glides on smoothly and sets into a feather-resistant film. Available in a curated archive of smoked, burnt, and bruised tones for a lived-in, blurred finish.

Most lip liners migrate, feather, and fade within hours. ÂN-DEFINE sets into a flexible, feather-resistant film that holds definition through friction, food, and whatever the day brings. The suede texture feels weightless on the lips rather than stiff or waxy, and the finish stays true without the hard-edged look that traditional pencil liners leave behind.

Most lip liners are purely cosmetic. ÂN-DEFINE contains Ceramide NP, a skin-identical lipid that reinforces the moisture barrier and prevents dryness at the lip contour, alongside Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, a peptide that supports firmness, smoothness, and definition over time. The lip area is conditioned while the color performs, which is what makes this more than a makeup product.

The suede texture of ÂN-DEFINE makes it one of the easier liners to work with. It glides without dragging, blends before it sets, and creates a diffused finish that reads as natural fullness rather than visible contouring. The key is moving quickly. The formula sets fast, so blending the edge within the first few seconds is what achieves that effortless, out-of-focus look the shade range is designed for.

Barrier Care Gel Cream is your skin’s reset button, an acne-safe, weightless moisturizer that restores strength, hydration, and comfort. Designed to mimic the skin’s own components, it helps rebuild a healthy barrier, improves tolerance to active ingredients, and locks in long-lasting moisture. Squalane, a skin-identical hydrator, helps prevent water loss and keeps skin balanced without feeling greasy.

When skin feels irritated or reactive, this formula steps in with soothing relief. Gentle calming agents visibly reduce redness and help stressed or compromised skin recover faster. Whether you’re starting new actives or simply need extra comfort, it ensures skin stays resilient, calm, and supported.

Hydration that feels like nothing but lasts all day. This gel-cream texture absorbs quickly yet keeps skin nourished and supple, preventing moisture loss without clogging pores. It’s the perfect final step in any routine, supporting balance while keeping skin fresh and comfortable from morning to night.

This exclusive complex combines barrier-reinforcing elements that work in harmony to strengthen, hydrate, and protect. By replenishing what the skin naturally needs, it reduces dryness, helps defend against external stress, and creates the foundation for a smoother, healthier complexion that can better handle active treatments.

SkinBetter Science Better Balance Duo combines Mystro Active Balance Serum and Trio Luxe Moisture Treatment in one set. Mystro uses P.A.T.H. Technology, a proprietary blend of plant-based adaptogens, to help skin adapt to stress, visibly reduce redness, and improve texture, pore size, and uneven pigmentation. Trio Luxe delivers intense hydration through hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and the skin's natural moisturizing factors. Together they address both balance and hydration in two steps.

Skin exposed to daily stress, environmental triggers, and procedures loses its ability to recover quickly. Mystro Active Balance Serum uses P.A.T.H. Technology, a proprietary blend of plant-based adaptogens including Panax Notoginseng, turmeric, chamomile, echinacea, and hops, to enhance the skin's natural adaptive capacity. In a physician-tested clinical study, it was shown to accelerate skin recovery in the days immediately following a non-ablative fractional laser treatment, visibly reducing dryness and flaking compared to moisturizer alone.

Dehydrated skin needs more than a surface moisturizer. Trio Luxe Moisture Treatment uses a triple-action formula combining hyaluronic acid, ceramides and essential fatty acids for barrier support, and the skin's own natural moisturizing factors including sodium PCA, sodium lactate, and urea to restore moisture balance from multiple levels simultaneously. The result is skin that looks renewed, feels genuinely nourished, and maintains that hydration throughout the day rather than only immediately after application.

This duo is perfect for anyone experiencing dryness, sensitivity, visible redness, rough texture, or general imbalance. It’s especially helpful during times when the skin needs extra support, after treatments, during weather transitions, or when barrier disruption is showing up as irritation, dullness, or uneven tone. All skin types can benefit from the hydration and resilience these formulas provide.

The Epicutis Bodycare Simplified Set brings together the Lipid Body Treatment, a limited-edition Body Scrub, and two essential accessories for a complete body care ritual built on the same research-backed science that defines Epicutis face care. The Lipid Body Treatment delivers up to 24 hours of hydration alongside firming and skin-smoothing actives, while the limited-edition Body Scrub combines sugar crystals, rice powder, HYVIA, and Hinoki wood oil in a showerless exfoliating formula that melts into the skin without residue. The included application spatula and lymphatic body brush complete the ritual with tools that support clean application and targeted circulation. No steps missing. No products to hunt for separately.

Most body moisturizers sit on the skin’s surface. The Lipid Body Treatment works at the barrier level through HYVIA, a patented molecule that delivers fatty acids into the skin rather than coating it, and a ceramide complex that replenishes the lipid structures the barrier needs to hold moisture in. Hydroxyethyl Urea adds a humectant layer that draws and holds water without the sticky feel of glycerin-heavy formulas, and the combination sustains hydration for up to 24 hours with a single application. The gel texture absorbs quickly and leaves no residue.

The firming and tightening benefits of the Lipid Body Treatment come from a specific botanical active complex rather than from surface-level ingredients that create temporary tightening through film-forming. Spilanthes Acmella Flower Extract firms by addressing the underlying appearance of skin laxity. Lychee Seed Extract and Caffeine work together on the appearance of fat tissue thickness and neovascularization. Glucosyl Hesperidin stimulates capillary circulation, which clients often notice as a mild warmth during first applications. These are not cosmetic claims layered onto a basic moisturizer. They are the primary function of the formula.

The limited-edition Epicutis Body Scrub was originally developed as a professional showerless exfoliating treatment for use in spas and clinics without shower facilities. The formula combines sugar crystals and rice powder for dual-action physical exfoliation that lifts dead skin cells and surface residue gently, with HYVIA delivering omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids alongside Hinoki wood oil to nourish and condition the skin as the exfoliation happens. The result is a scrub that melts into the skin rather than stripping it, leaving the surface smooth, refreshed, and primed to absorb the Lipid Body Treatment that follows.

CELTHERA pairs overnight hydration with ExoEGF Technology, a biomimetic exosome system that delivers Oligopeptide-1, a growth factor that supports cellular communication and energy production in the skin. While you sleep, during the skin's natural repair cycle, it helps signal cells to renew more efficiently for visibly improved texture, firmness, and radiance by morning.

Cellular energy drives every process that keeps skin looking healthy, from collagen production to barrier repair to overnight renewal. As NAD+ levels decline with age, these processes slow down. Sunflower Sprout Extract in CELTHERA supports NAD+ production in the skin, helping restore the energy that powers overnight repair, so skin wakes up looking more rested, resilient, and radiant.

Inflammation is one of the most underestimated drivers of visible aging. Chronic low-grade inflammation breaks down collagen, disrupts barrier function, and accelerates the accumulation of discoloration and texture changes. The Centella Secretome Stem Cell Concentrate in CELTHERA addresses this directly while simultaneously supporting collagen and elastin remodeling. Skin becomes progressively calmer, firmer, and more even-toned with consistent overnight use.

CELTHERA's Multi-Ceramide Barrier Blend combines seven ceramides with essential fatty acids to rebuild the barrier's structural foundation, while the ExoEGF Technology and growth factors work on cellular renewal beneath it. This dual approach supports the barrier and cellular renewal at the same time, and skin that uses it consistently becomes more resilient over time.

CO2LiftV offers a gentle, at-home carboxytherapy solution to improve vaginal hydration, elasticity, and comfort, without hormones or downtime. Whether used for intimate wellness, post-childbirth care, or perimenopausal support, this innovative gel helps restore confidence and function where it matters most. Sodium hyaluronate, a hydrating agent that binds water to tissue, helps relieve dryness and support comfort.

By delivering carbon dioxide through a targeted gel application, CO2LiftV stimulates oxygenation and blood flow to the vaginal tissues. This process supports collagen production, enhances moisture retention, and helps restore firmness and sensitivity, making it an ideal solution for dryness, laxity, and discomfort during intimacy.

CO2LiftV is free from estrogen, chemicals, and synthetic hormones. It's clinically studied and shown to be safe and effective for all women, including those in menopause, postpartum recovery, or post-cancer treatment. It’s a discreet, self-administered treatment that respects your comfort and lifestyle.

Each kit comes with premeasured gel and hygienic applicators, making the process clean, simple, and easy to complete at home. Mix the two gel packs, apply, and leave the gel on for at least 45 minutes, or overnight if you prefer. Start with five to ten sessions in the first month, then maintain monthly. Many women report enhanced tightness, moisture, and intimacy satisfaction.

Pavise Extracellular Matrix Restore is designed to support the skin during recovery from aesthetic procedures. Acting like a bioactive second skin, the formula helps guide how the skin repairs itself, promoting smoother healing and a more balanced, comfortable recovery process. After microneedling, it can be introduced around day three, when skin is ready for supportive serums.

This formula focuses on supporting the extracellular matrix, the structural framework responsible for skin strength, elasticity, and resilience. Peptides, recombinant collagen, and growth factors help signal the skin to rebuild key structural components that support firmness and long-term skin integrity. Palmitoyl peptides support collagen production and help strengthen this matrix, while recombinant growth factors help signal regeneration.

By supporting collagen production and hyaluronic acid levels, the formula helps improve visible skin texture and firmness. The combination of peptides, ceramides, and antioxidants also helps calm inflammation and reduce oxidative stress, allowing the skin to recover more efficiently and maintain a healthier appearance. Follow with a moisturizer if your skin feels dry.

Extracellular Matrix Restore is especially helpful for individuals undergoing professional procedures such as lasers, microneedling, or resurfacing procedures. It supports faster skin recovery while reinforcing structural repair, making it a useful addition to routines focused on skin regeneration and post-procedure care. It also suits recovery after peels, when growth factors help guide the regeneration phase.

Hydration Boosting Cream is a dual-action moisturizer that delivers both instant and sustained hydration, leaving skin feeling refreshed, soft, and healthy. Its silky, airy finish absorbs quickly without any greasy residue, making it a versatile step in any skincare routine. Apply one to two pumps as the final step after your serums, morning and night.

Formulated with ceramides and plant-derived fats, this cream helps strengthen the skin's protective barrier, locking in moisture and defending against environmental stressors. These barrier-reinforcing ingredients work with humectants to reduce water loss through the skin and support skin resilience. Niacinamide, a multitasking ingredient, adds support for skin tone, texture, and barrier function.

Hydration Boosting Cream is an ideal companion for routines built around actives, including retinoids and exfoliating acids. With a retinoid, you can apply the cream first to cushion it, then apply the retinoid. With acids, apply the acid first and finish with the cream. Either way, it helps offset dryness and sensitivity and keeps your skin comfortable.

Suitable for all skin types, this moisturizer adapts to your skin's needs. Jojoba esters mimic the skin's natural sebum, giving lightweight hydration without clogging pores. Its balanced hydration works equally well as a daily moisturizer or a targeted solution when skin feels dehydrated, whether your routine is minimalist or a more advanced multi-step regimen.

Intensive AlphaRet Overnight Cream is a powerful nighttime cream designed to improve the look of lines, wrinkles, uneven tone, and rough texture. Featuring AlphaRet Technology, a patented fusion of a retinoid and an alpha hydroxy acid, it delivers visible rejuvenation with minimal irritation. Apply one pump to a clean, dry face in the evening.

This version contains the highest level of glycolic acid in the AlphaRet line, working alongside lactic acid to retexturize skin for a smoother, more even appearance. The increased exfoliation power supports improved cell turnover, helping to diminish the look of discoloration, refine pores, and reveal a healthier, more radiant complexion.

A nourishing blend of ceramides, squalane, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid replenishes moisture and strengthens the skin barrier, counteracting the dryness often associated with retinoids. Calming agents such as allantoin, bisabolol, and green tea extract help soothe the skin, reducing visible redness and supporting a more comfortable nightly treatment experience.

Powerful antioxidants, including vitamins C and E and Coenzyme Q10, help neutralize free radicals that can accelerate signs of aging. This added environmental protection works in tandem with AlphaRet’s resurfacing benefits, making it ideal for those seeking advanced results without the downtime often linked to intensive treatments.

The Lipid Body Treatment delivers the same advanced barrier-repair technology found in the Epicutis facial care line, now for the entire body. This ultra-nourishing lotion hydrates, soothes, and restores sensitive or compromised skin while relieving dryness, redness, and rough patches. Lychee seed extract helps protect against glycation, supporting elasticity and hydration.

Infused with the brand’s patented TSC molecule, the Lipid Body Treatment reduces inflammation at the cellular level. It helps calm irritation, smooth texture, and reinforce the skin barrier, making it ideal for anyone dealing with eczema, sensitivity, or post-procedure skin stress. Spilanthes acmella flower extract helps smooth the look of fine lines and improve firmness.

The fast-absorbing formula delivers deep moisture without heaviness or residue. Whether you are applying it after a shower or post-procedure, it leaves skin feeling supple, comfortable, and protected, not sticky or greasy. Use it daily to maintain healthy skin across the body. Apply it while skin is still slightly damp; a little goes a long way.

Free of fragrance, silicones, and common irritants, the Lipid Body Treatment is gentle enough to use after lasers, waxing, and other procedures, following your provider's aftercare. After microneedling, wait forty-eight hours before using it on that area. It supports the natural microbiome of your skin and promotes repair, so your body gets the same thoughtful care as your face.
