2% Ceramide + GABA
R70.00 – R320.00Product Information
Replaces depleted ceramides to preserve the skin’s protective layer which prevents the loss of moisture, shields the skin from environmental aggressors and fights against premature ageing. Ceramides make up 50% of the skin’s lipid content and therefore form a major part of the protective layer of the skin which can deplete with age, over exfoliation and environmental aggressions. This depletion of ceramides presents as dry, flaky, sensitive skin. 2% Ceramide + GABA replaces depleted ceramides in the skin for optimal barrier protection.The Mix Of Ingredients
Aqua, Butylene Glycol, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Propylene Glycol, Ceramide, Hydroxypropyl Bisstearamide MEA, Polyglycerol-10-stearate, Cholesteryl Isostearate, Squalane, Sucrose stearate, Tricaprylin, Aminobutyric Acid, Tremella Fuciformis Sporocarp Polysaccharide, Cetearyl Alcohol, Acetylated Sodium Hyaluronate, Stearic Acid, Dimethicone, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin. SKIN functional strives to continuously bring you the best product and therefore there may be formulation updates which may result in the ingredient list on the website and carton differing.Key ingredient
[su_list class="ingredients" icon=""]- Ceramides
Are produced naturally by the skin, however they become depleted over time as we age. Specifically, after age 20, the body produces fewer ceramides at a loss of one percent per year. Maintaining ceramide levels in the skin plays an essential role in managing dryness, dehydration and premature signs of ageing.

This is my second bottle since last year. One of the best purchase I had so far and in my opinion this niacinamide is better than other famous brands out there. Love the ingredients in it. It works like magic to help reduce your pores and balance your oil production. My skin is now smooth and clear. Thank you SkinFunctional.
Madula Ngwasheng (verified owner) –
I started using SF product in January 2021, at first I wanted a serum to apply when I was derma rolling, all the posts I read mentioned Niacinamide as a good option. So that was what I ordered. I have been using Niacinamide this whole year and it has been the most amazing serum. I then got myself the Multi-fixer, and that has been life changing.
My skin is oily and it love winter more than summer. This year has been the first year I saw my skin be amazing throughout the year. I barely breakout anymore and my dark marks have reduced immensely.
