MeaningInMakeup review for Ceramide Ato Concentrate Cream

I received this product for free from Picky and ILLIYOON in exchange for my honest review. This is a super fascinating product that I’m super thankful to try! It’s got a great hydrating formula. Those little dots you see in the pictures of the formula, are ceramide beads that break down as you rub it into your skin. They are encapsulated in fatty acids that are plant derived, as this is a vegan formula. I saw some people with dry skin say it didn’t work for them, and some people with oily skin say it does work for them. As I always say: everyone’s experience with products is so unique and personal. It’s interesting to see that this works for both skin types, it just depends on the person. I was very pleased by how hydrated this left my skin feeling, and I have a dry and sensitive skin type. Not only does this feature the unique ceramide beads but it also features glycerin to help keep your skin hydrated. This is meant to deliver one hundred hours of hydration, but as always, I apply moisturizer daily because I wash my face daily. So I never test that claim out. I also love the fact that this is a fragrance free option. Sometimes fragrances can cause an eczema flare of my skin. I love a good fragrance free option to keep in my routine. Now what does the Ato in the name stand for? From my research it’s short for atopic dermatitis, indicating that it is meant to be an ‘eczema safe’ formula. As someone who can get eczema patches on my face, I’m honest about my experience, and this moisturizer kept the patches at bay when used with other hydrating products without actives (no retinols for example). I woke up with no flakiness the morning after I used this moisturizer. If you have dry skin, sometimes you just need a little extra moisturizer. Even when it’s a thick formula like this one. I didn’t find this to feel greasy at all, even though it is a thicker cream. So it didn’t feel too oily, and still managed to feel breathable.
