Dr. Carl Thornfeldt discusses the 3:1:1 ratio of cholesterol, ceramides, and free fatty acids as the gold standard for rebuilding the skin barrier.
Linoleic acid is essential for optimal barrier function, proper ceramide formation, and calming inflammation, but it's often missing from ingredient lists.
Using ceramides alone is insufficient for barrier repair; all three lipids (cholesterol, ceramides, and free fatty acids) are needed together to enable repair.
Donor cells for exosome treatments can age rapidly during expansion, potentially performing like much older cells after just weeks.
