Ceramide NP and other ceramides
Ceramides
Ceramides are lipids found in the skin’s outer barrier layer, and some moisturizers include one or more ceramides.

Research notes for these ingredients
Panthenol
A randomized, blinded study of two lipid-rich formulations found improved hydration and lower water loss after seven days with dexpanthenol versus the bases.
Gehring & Gloor, 2000 · controlled topical study ↗That result belongs to the tested leave-on formulas. It does not automatically extend to rinse-off use, and it does not establish an ideal concentration.
Ceramides
A 28-day trial in adults with moderate eczema studied a ceramide-rich cream and cleanser together. Hydration and water-loss measures improved; eczema severity did not differ between groups. The study had manufacturer involvement.
Spada et al., 2021 · randomized regimen study ↗This tests a complete two-product regimen, not isolated ceramide NP. It does not prove that any ceramide cream treats eczema.

| Label detail | What is specified |

What the brand says it tested
Anua reports a non-comedogenic assessment, a non-irritation test, a 92.93% reduction in transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and calming after one use. It separately lists 48-hour hydration; the page does not tie that duration to the TEWL measurement.
Participant count, measurement time and methods are not given beside these results. They are manufacturer-reported findings for the tested formula; the separate outcomes and durations are shown below.
| Published item | What the checked page provides | What remains unclear |
|---|---|---|
| Non-comedogenic and non-irritation tests | The brand says both assessments were completed. | Sample size and protocols are not stated in the result block. |
| Transepidermal water loss | 92.93% reduction; measurement time not stated. | Baseline, sample size and method are not stated. |
| Calming after one use | Brand reports a calming result after one use. | Outcome measure and sample size are not stated. |
| Long-lasting hydration | 48-hour hydration claim shown separately from the TEWL result. | Protocol and participant details are not stated. |
Why this ingredient list is excluded from overlap counts
The official webpage joins some neighboring ingredient names without separators. A comma-based comparison could count those combined names as one ingredient and miss matches. We retain the source wording in our record, but exclude this list from ingredient-overlap calculations until the exact names can be checked against a clear label.
Official product reference ↗Questions about this product
Does the non-comedogenic claim guarantee it will not clog my pores?
No. It is a brand-reported assessment, not a guarantee for every person. The page we checked does not publish the test protocol or participant details. If you know a particular ingredient causes you trouble, compare the full formula with the label on your jar.
