Pattern · Barrier-Dysfunction
Your pattern: Skin Barrier Dysfunction
Your answers point to a compromised skin barrier — reactivity, sensitivity, dryness, and slow recovery from irritation.
01 · Framework
What's happening
The stratum corneum's lipid matrix retains moisture and excludes irritants. When ceramide, cholesterol, and fatty acid balance is disrupted, the barrier fails.
02 · Framework
What the research suggests
Ceramide-containing moisturizers, reduced cleansing aggression, and adequate dietary fats restore barrier function over 4–8 weeks.
