Proprietary Technology

AmideRepair™

A three-ceramide complex with Ceramides NP, NS and NG plus phytosterols and hydrogenated lecithin, designed for daily moisture-barrier replenishment and smoother, more resilient-looking skin.

Key Benefits

Helps replenish barrier-supporting lipids
Supports reduced moisture loss
Improves dry, rough texture
Promotes softer, more resilient skin
Uses multiple complementary ceramide subclasses

How It Works

Ceramides NP, NS and NG supplement the lipid matrix at the surface of the stratum corneum. Phytosterols and hydrogenated lecithin add complementary lipid conditioning, helping fill gaps between dry surface cells and reinforce the barrier’s moisture-retaining function for softer, smoother-looking skin.

What It Is

AmideRepair™ is ELVIS+ELVIN’s foundational multi-ceramide barrier technology. It contains three ceramide classes—NP, NS and NG—selected to broaden lipid replenishment beyond a single-ceramide formula. Ceramides are waxy lipid molecules naturally present in the skin’s outer barrier and are important to its organized, water-retaining structure.

Phytosterols provide plant-derived sterol support, while hydrogenated lecithin contributes phospholipids and helps organize the lipid phase. Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate assists emulsification and dispersion, and dipropylene glycol supports delivery and skin feel.

This is a supportive cosmetic lipid complex, not a complete replica of the skin barrier and not a prescription treatment. Its precise performance depends on the concentration used and the surrounding finished formula.

What It Does

AmideRepair™ helps replenish the surface lipids that dry, over-cleansed or environmentally stressed skin may lack. By supporting the moisture barrier, it helps reduce tightness, rough feel and flaky-looking texture while improving softness and suppleness.

The three ceramide classes provide complementary barrier-lipid support, and the phytosterol–lecithin system enhances conditioning and lipid organization. With regular use in a well-formulated product, the complex can help skin retain moisture more effectively and look smoother and more resilient.

It is the everyday, broadly compatible option in the AmideRepair™ family—well suited to daily moisturizers, serums and treatments for dryness or barrier maintenance. “Repair” refers to cosmetic support for barrier appearance and function, not treatment of a skin disease.

AmideRepair™ FAQs

Common questions about this ingredient in skincare.

What is AmideRepair™?

AmideRepair™ is ELVIS+ELVIN’s foundational barrier-lipid complex combining Ceramides NP, NS and NG with phytosterols and hydrogenated lecithin. Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate and dipropylene glycol help disperse and deliver the lipid components in cosmetic formulas. It is designed for everyday replenishment, softness and moisture-barrier support.

Why does AmideRepair™ contain three ceramide classes?

Ceramide NP, Ceramide NS and Ceramide NG have different molecular structures and help broaden the lipid profile beyond a single ceramide. Used topically, they supplement the surface lipid matrix of the stratum corneum and support smoother, more flexible-looking skin. The INCI list does not disclose their exact percentages or establish a skin-identical ratio.

What do phytosterols and hydrogenated lecithin contribute?

Phytosterols provide plant-derived sterol conditioning, while hydrogenated lecithin supplies phospholipid-rich material and helps organize the lipid phase. They complement the ceramides by supporting softness, cohesion and formula delivery. Together, they create a more complete conditioning system than ceramides used without supporting lipids.

Does AmideRepair™ permanently repair damaged skin?

It helps support the moisture barrier, replenish surface lipids and reduce the look and feel of dryness, roughness and flaking. “Repair” refers to cosmetic support for barrier appearance and function, not permanent reconstruction or treatment of eczema, dermatitis or another medical condition. Continued use is generally needed to maintain benefits.

Can it be used with retinoids, exfoliating acids or acne treatments?

A ceramide-focused moisturizer can complement routines containing potentially drying actives by supporting comfort and moisture retention. Introduce strong actives gradually, avoid combining too many irritating steps at once and follow the finished product directions. Persistent burning, cracking or inflammation should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare professional.

How quickly should AmideRepair™ show results?

Emollient softness and reduced tightness may be noticeable soon after application. More sustained improvement in roughness, comfort and moisture retention generally requires consistent use over days to weeks. Timing depends on the complex’s concentration, the complete formula, cleansing habits and the condition of the skin barrier.
