FAQ: Difference Between Lacto-Ceramide and Ceramide Complex

Both Ceramid complex and Lacto-ceramide have similar properties as they incorporate ceramides back into the skin or hair shaft thereby regenerating the connective tissue. Lacto-ceramide contains only one ceramide (ceramide 3) and is incorporated into liposomes (small spherical particles made of phospholipids where the ceramide is packed in) which improve and accelerate skin absorption. Liposomes also provide a good moisturizing effect. Ceramide complex on the other hand consists of various ceramides and at higher concentrations mimicking better the skin's natural content of ceramides.
