Life ExtensionSkin Restoring Ceramides, 30 Liquid Vegetarian Capsules (Pack of 2)

I first purchased this along with Applied Nutrition Anti-aging Total Body Daily Defense one year ago. I noticed improvement within a month. I don't usually take time to write reviews unless something is exceptionally good or bad.I am 56 and have been trying assorted anti-aging products for a good twenty years now. I had a somewhat regular schedule of peels and microderms up until this past February (6 months ago). At that time I asked the esthetician about these products and told her how I thought they worked well. She didn't disapprove but said she thought it would be better to try to get the benefits by changing my diet to get the nutrients more naturally. She also was leery of these products as they don't have FDA approval so I don't really know what Im using or what standards are used in making the products.I agreed with her and discontinued use and amped up my diet the best I could. The results were not appreciable. I started back on this two product regimen three weeks ago and WOW, I already see a great improvement.It's not a huge difference but there is a difference that you will notice. I think the skin tone and texture is noticeably better overall, especially the under eye area where the crepey skin is. The wrinkles aren't gone but diminished greatly especially the crepiness. I can now touch a bit of concealer there and it doesn't immediately crease into the wrinkles.If you are looking for anti-aging skin care and maybe already spend a little or A LOT on treatments, cosmeceuticals, etc. I would wholeheartedly recommend trying these two products. It's $40 for nearly a two month supply (although I am doubling up on the Life extension for this first month). If you don't see an improvement within a month, well, you're out $40, not that bad considering how much these products cost.Personally, I have not had a professional facial, peel, or microderm since February. I am using cheap Cerave products for cleaning and moisturizing when skin feels dry, liberal use of coconut oil and these two products and my skin looks great! Like that 10 days after a peel great. It feels smooth like it would after an excellent facial. If you are on the fence, give it a trial. Let me know your results :)

It seems to be great to my skin. Thank you so much. I look forward to seeing it.

The consistent daily use of this is the best way to take it for long term results

Having used this product for the past several years, I am pleased with the texture of my facial skin. I am regularly complimented by friends and medical practitiononers on my skin quality.

I have NEVER met anyone with dryer skin than I have. I'm 46 years old and have been suffering ALL my life. My thighs and upper arms have always been bumpy and dry, scaly shins, flaky over the rest of my body and face (to the point that when I take off my clothing it is covered with caked on dead skin). I have tried every moisturizer on the market, have done all natural stuff and have even tried Borage Oil taken internally (amongst ALL other "solutions"). My after shower routine used to be using Jojoba oil on my face and body, then moisturizers, then sometimes more oil and creams. I have even resorted to using Vaseline on my body when the dryness was unbearable.All that said, I saw a post about phytoceramides and decided to do some research. After much reading and reviews I decided to give it a try...especially that the price is right @ $15 per month was worth a shot. I was concerned that the reviews "might" be "insiders" but again, decided to try it out.WELL, after JUST ONE WEEK I have noticed a SIGNIFICANT difference!!! I am SO THRILLED. It's the FIRST time in my life that I am not in any discomfort from the dryness, the bumps are nearly gone, scales are disappearing more and more everyday and my clothes have @ 60% less skin on them when I disrobe....and my face looks SO much better when I wake up. My results may not be typical, I knew that IF this stuff worked, because my case is SO SEVERE, that I would see a difference quicker than most. If you have dry skin issues, I really recommend you give this a try. I can't wait to see my results after a month...I am very hopeful considering the results so far after ONLY ONE WEEK!

I've waited 5 1/2 months to review this item because I'm aware that skin turnover doesn't happen quickly. I initially tried another brand and didn't like that it was a dry capsule, so, as a test, I gave it to my husband and he has seen no positive results, he says. I have used this product for the same amount of time.I cannot begin to say how pleased I am. I had an big ugly scar on my forearm (from dermatologist botched removal of non-cancerous 'crusty' as I call them.) It's been about the size of a nickel and cherry red for about 12 years. I really didn't notice at first but just recently, I realized it is almost invisible! It is still rough in texture but even that's improving, but it is no longer red and is slightly smaller. Then I realized my face looks really good! Old skin issues (areas where there are breakouts) have disappeared. A scar that was quite large (again from Derm botch) under my eye that went from dark and visible to lighter and virtually unnoticeable. The dark / age spots on the skin on my 62 yr old sun-damaged legs has smoothed out in appearance. But again, the biggest is my face. My skin looks good. The tone is even. There is a bit of a glow. The dry spots? Gone! The oily spots? Gone! Wrinkles around mouth which were never bad, are softer. Nails are better. So, I highly recommend this product,
