Recommended For: Dry • Normal • Combination • Oily • Sensitive • Dehydrated • Aging • Post-retinol skin

Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 is a patented anti-aging moisturizer designed to replenish essential lipids and restore the skin’s natural barrier. Formulated with a unique 2:4:2 cholesterol-dominant ratio—2% pure ceramides 1 and 3, 4% natural cholesterol, and 2% fatty acids—this lipid-rich cream delivers deep hydration while visibly improving the appearance of smoothness, firmness, radiance, and pore refinement.

This fast-absorbing, nourishing treatment targets dry, aging, and dehydrated skin by restoring the balance of surface lipids, helping to prevent transepidermal water loss and supporting the skin’s barrier integrity.

The Science Behind Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2

What Is Dehydrated Skin?

Dehydrated skin results from a compromised moisture barrier and imbalanced lipid levels. Lipids like ceramides and fatty acids are essential for maintaining hydration and smooth, supple skin. When these lipids are depleted, skin becomes dry, dull, and more prone to accelerated signs of aging.

Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 is clinically proven to restore lipid levels, strengthen the skin barrier, and prevent dehydration.

2:4:2 Lipid Ratio

As we age, the skin naturally loses lipids. This breakthrough formula uses a patented 2:4:2 ratio of ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids to replenish lost lipids and visibly improve skin elasticity, barrier function, and radiance. It is the first formulation of its kind clinically shown to correct multiple signs of aging.

  For morning use, apply after a SkinCeuticals vitamin C antioxidant serum and before sunscreen. At night, apply after retinol or corrective treatments.

Key Ingredients

• 2% Ceramides 1 & 3
  Ceramides are naturally occurring lipids in the skin that support barrier function and hydration. These bioidentical, synthetic ceramides restore moisture, reduce irritation, and reinforce skin resilience.
• 4% Natural Cholesterol
  One of the main lipids found in skin, cholesterol plays a critical role in accelerating barrier repair—especially in aging skin. SkinCeuticals uses cholesterol derived from a purified isolation of wool wax.
• 2% Fatty Acids
  Essential for maintaining lipid balance, these skin-supporting molecules are sourced from plants and contribute to a stronger, more hydrated skin barrier.
• Essential Oil Blend
  A cooling, soothing combination of lavender, rosemary, and peppermint oils provides a sensory experience while nourishing the skin.
