Suitable for dry and sensitive skin types, this silky balm is enriched with our unique ceramide blend to help restore and replenish the skin’s protective barrier function, as well soothing as squalane, bisabolol and prebiotics. The 2-in-1 formula gently cleanses skin while removing makeup, without leaving any unwanted heavy residue, and comes with a premium 100% cotton muslin cloth to help remove the balm from skin.

This is not your average cleansing balm. A rich, luxurious texture, combined with skin-comforting ingredients creates a cleansing experience comparable to much more expensive formulas.

What’s in the formula?
This formula is unique because unlike cheaper cleansing balms – and like more expensive options – it contains pseudoceramides, which are synthetic ceramides that are more stable, planet-friendly and able to hydrate skin as well as able to better mimic the composition of natural lipids and the skin’s natural structure compared to plant-derived ceramides. The range also contains other skin-boosting active ingredients like niacinamide, to help even skin tone, and glycerin, a humectant that helps skin retain moisture.

How it works:
– SK-Influx® V MB ceramide blend with AP, NP and EOP: Restores the protective barrier function of the skin and has been shown to significantly decrease TEWL (transepidermal water loss), improving the stratum corneum (top layer of skin) barrier repair.
– Squalane: Helps to prevent moisture loss for a healthy and hydrated appearance.
– Niacinamide: A form of a form of vitamin B3 with humectant properties that helps protect the skin barrier by supporting the skin’s production of ceramides, as well as drawing in water and locking it in place.
– Biolin: A cosmetic prebiotic sugar that supports the microbial protective flora of the skin. With biolin, skin microbiota recovers faster and harmful organisms are reduced.

When to use:
Step 1 of your routine – cleanse. The Ceramide Fix Cleansing Balm is the perfect first step in a double cleanse routine, we recommend following with any of the Nip + Fab exfoliating pads, depending on your skin concern.

If your skin is younger, but irritated or damaged by over exfoliation, we recommend following your double cleanse with the Ceramide Fix Serum 12%.
If your skin is more mature and suffering from fine lines, wrinkles or sagging then follow your double cleanse with the Hyaluronic Fix Extreme4 Serum 2%, finishing with the Ceramide Fix Overnight Repair Cream 12%.

How to use:
Gently massage balm onto a dry face and neck, with or without make up, as the first step in your routine, morning or evening.
Dampen the muslin cloth with warm water and buff face to remove the balm, makeup and impurities. Splash water onto the face to remove any residual product.

Tips

Our Ceramide Fix range is ideal for pairing with our hydrating Hyaluronic Fix Extreme4 range. They both help skin to retain moisture – Ceramide Fix by repairing the skin barrier so that it’s able to retain moisture again, and Hyaluronic Fix Extreme4 to add moisture back into skin and to lock it in.

Ceramides also help to improve skin’s tolerance of active ingredients, such as glycolic and salicylic acids by protecting the skin barrier – use Ceramide Fix Cleansing Balm as the first step in an acid-based routine if your skin is sensitive or dry to keep it soothed and protected.”
