Not all ceramide creams are created equal. The Aestura Atobarrier 365 Cream is built around a clinically developed MLE (Multi-Lamellar Emulsion) technology that pairs ceramides with cholesterol and skin-identical fatty acids in a physiologically accurate ratio — the same three-component lipid system that makes up your skin's natural moisture barrier. The result is a rich, cushiony moisturiser that visibly restores comfort, softness and resilience to dry, stressed or compromised skin. Dermatologist-tested, fragrance-free, and developed by Aestura — a South Korean brand that grew out of Amorepacific's pharmaceutical division.
Key Benefits
- MLE (Multi-Lamellar Emulsion) ceramide technology — mimics the lamellar structure of a healthy skin barrier for more effective moisture retention
- Ceramide (Hydroxypropyl Bispalmitamide MEA), cholesterol and skin-identical fatty acids work together to visibly restore the appearance of a strong, healthy barrier
- Visibly plumps and softens dry, tight or stressed skin from first use
- Squalane and glycerin provide deep, lasting hydration without heaviness
- Phytosphingosine — a skin-identical lipid that supports the skin's natural defence system
- Allantoin visibly soothes and softens the skin's appearance
- Tocopherol (Vitamin E) provides antioxidant support
- Rich yet non-sticky finish — absorbs comfortably without pilling
- Fragrance-free, alcohol-free, paraben-free
- Dermatologist-tested and hypoallergenic
Suitable For
- Dry, very dry and dehydrated skin
- Sensitised or easily reactive skin
- Skin that feels tight, rough or visibly stressed
- Those supporting their skin during or after active ingredient use (retinoids, exfoliants)
- Fragrance-sensitive skin
- All ages, including mature skin
How to Use
Apply as the final step of your skincare routine, morning and/or evening. Take a small amount and gently pat over the face until absorbed. For very dry or compromised skin, apply to slightly damp skin to lock in surface moisture. Follow with SPF in the morning.
Key Ingredients
- Hydroxypropyl Bispalmitamide MEA (Ceramide PC-104) — Aestura's bio-mimetic ceramide molecule, formulated to mirror the behaviour of natural Ceramide NP. Encapsulated using patented Dermaon capsule technology, it is delivered directly to the skin barrier where it helps visibly reinforce moisture retention and resilience.
- Cholesterol — A skin-identical lipid that makes up approximately 25% of the skin's natural intercellular lipid matrix. Paired with ceramides and fatty acids in the correct physiological ratio, it helps visibly restore the appearance of a healthy, intact barrier.
- Skin-Identical Fatty Acids (Stearic Acid, Palmitic Acid, Oleic Acid, Arachidic Acid) — Four free fatty acids that work alongside the ceramide and cholesterol to recreate the barrier's natural lipid environment and visibly improve skin comfort.
- Squalane — A lightweight, skin-identical emollient that softens and nourishes without clogging pores. Suitable for all skin types including sensitive and reactive skin.
- Glycerin — A humectant that draws moisture into the skin for lasting hydration and comfort throughout the day.
- Phytosphingosine — A naturally occurring sphingoid base found in the upper layers of skin. Supports the skin's natural lipid defence and has skin-identical properties that help maintain a balanced, healthy-looking complexion.
- Allantoin — A well-established soothing ingredient derived from the comfrey plant. Helps visibly soften and calm the skin's appearance.
- Tocopherol (Vitamin E) — A fat-soluble antioxidant that helps protect the skin against the visible effects of environmental stressors.
