AmideRepair™ Intense FAQs
Common questions about this ingredient in skincare.
What is AmideRepair™ Intense?
AmideRepair™ Intense is a focused barrier-lipid complex containing Ceramides NP, AP and EOP with phytosphingosine, phytosterols and hydrogenated lecithin. Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate and dipropylene glycol support dispersion within finished formulas. It is designed for rich conditioning of very dry, tight or rough-feeling skin.
What do Ceramides NP, AP and EOP mean?
NP, AP and EOP are standardized names for ceramide classes with different chemical structures. Each can help supplement the lipid matrix between cells in the outermost layer of skin, supporting smoothness and moisture retention. Their presence does not reveal concentration or prove a specific skin-identical ratio.
How is AmideRepair™ Intense different from Advance?
Intense uses a focused three-ceramide profile—NP, AP and EOP—together with phytosphingosine, phytosterols and lecithin. Advance contains five disclosed ceramides, adding NS and NG for broader ceramide diversity. Intense is positioned around concentrated, rich barrier conditioning, while Advance is positioned around maximum lipid breadth.
What roles do phytosphingosine, phytosterols and lecithin play?
Phytosphingosine provides a ceramide-related sphingolipid building block, phytosterols add plant-derived sterol conditioning and hydrogenated lecithin contributes phospholipids and lipid organization. These materials complement the three ceramides and help create a cohesive, cushiony surface feel. Their combined function is cosmetic barrier support rather than medical healing.
Can AmideRepair™ Intense reduce moisture loss?
When incorporated into a well-balanced moisturizer, the lipid complex can support a more cohesive stratum-corneum surface and help skin retain moisture more effectively. This may reduce tightness, flaking and the visibility of dehydration lines over time. The finished formula’s occlusives, humectants and use level strongly influence the result.
Can it be used with retinoids or exfoliating acids, and how soon will it work?
Yes, a ceramide-rich product can support comfort alongside potentially drying actives, provided those actives are introduced gradually and used as directed. Surface softness may improve after application, while sustained barrier comfort generally requires consistent use over days to weeks. Reduce active frequency and seek professional advice if persistent burning, severe peeling or inflammation develops.
