The Third Lipid in the Classic Barrier Trio
Ceramides get most of the attention, but the outer layer of skin is built from roughly equal parts ceramides, cholesterol and free fatty acids. Formulas that aim to support the feel of a comfortable, well-cushioned barrier tend to include all three, and cholesterol is the one shoppers almost never think to look for on a label.
The clearest example on this page is SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2, whose name refers directly to that ratio. Revision Skincare uses it in DEJ Face Cream and DermProtect Barrier Defense, and SkinBetter Science in Trio Rebalancing Moisture Treatment and Trio Luxe Moisture Treatment.
Does cholesterol in skincare affect cholesterol in the body?
No. Cholesterol applied topically works within the skin's surface lipids and has no bearing on dietary or blood cholesterol.
