AmideRepair™ Advance FAQs
Common questions about this ingredient in skincare.
What is AmideRepair™ Advance?
AmideRepair™ Advance is the broadest ceramide system in the AmideRepair™ family. It combines five disclosed ceramide classes—NP, AP, EOP, NS and NG—with phytosphingosine, phytosterols and hydrogenated lecithin. The expanded lipid profile is designed for comprehensive moisture-barrier replenishment and resilience.
Why are five ceramide classes included?
The stratum corneum naturally contains a diverse family of ceramides rather than only one type. Including NP, AP, EOP, NS and NG provides wider structural diversity for topical lipid support and distinguishes Advance from the three-ceramide variants. The number of classes alone does not determine performance; their levels, ratios and the finished emulsion also matter.
What does phytosphingosine add to the complex?
Phytosphingosine is a long-chain base related to naturally occurring sphingolipids and forms part of the structural backbone of certain ceramides. In this cosmetic complex, it complements the five preformed ceramides and supports surface conditioning and barrier-focused formulation. It should not be described as causing the skin to manufacture a guaranteed amount of new ceramide without direct testing.
How is AmideRepair™ Advance different from the other versions?
Advance contains the greatest disclosed ceramide diversity: NP, AP, EOP, NS and NG, plus phytosphingosine. The original AmideRepair™ uses NP, NS and NG, while Intense uses a focused NP, AP and EOP system with phytosphingosine. Advance is therefore positioned for broad, comprehensive lipid replenishment rather than simply richer texture.
Can sensitive, oily or acne-prone skin use it?
Barrier lipids can benefit many skin types, including oily skin that is dehydrated from cleansing or acne treatments. Suitability depends on the finished product’s texture, concentration and complete ingredient list, so congestion-prone or highly reactive users should patch-test. Choose a lightweight format for oily skin and a richer cream when dryness is pronounced.
How should it be used, and when can results be expected?
Use the finished formula as directed, typically after water-based treatments and before sunscreen in the morning. Softness and comfort may improve quickly, while more durable changes in dryness, roughness and barrier resilience usually require regular use over days to weeks. Gentle cleansing and reduced over-exfoliation can help support the same goal.
