What it is
Ceramides are a family of lipids. Oral supplements may use different source materials and mixtures from topical cosmetic products.
Sources: National Library of Medicine, PubMed
What the cited evidence shows
A 2022 systematic review and meta-analysis of oral skin-moisturising supplements included ceramide trials and reported pooled skin-hydration outcomes. It does not establish treatment for dermatitis or transfer evidence from oral products to topical products.
Sources: National Library of Medicine, PubMed
Limits and safety context
The evidence concerns measured skin-moisturising parameters in study populations, not a guarantee for an individual product.
