EDS skin isn’t just dry-it’s structurally compromised. Weak collagen and reduced barrier function mean we need creams that restore lipids, reduce inflammation, and stay on the skin without disrupting it. That’s why Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Concentrate Cream is the holy grail of moisturizing creams for EDS skin (and it’s under $10…) Why it works (and why I recommend it as an NP): ✔️ Ceramide-rich + skin-identical lipids: In EDS, the skin barrier is often weaker and slower to recover. Ceramides help restore integrity, reduce water loss, and protect against external irritants. ✔️ No hyaluronic acid: When the barrier is compromised, HA can actually pull water out, worsening dehydration and sensitivity. Illiyoon leaves it out (on purpose)! ✔️ No fragrance, essential oils, or alcohols: Reduces the risk of inflammation, flushing, and irritation that’s common in EDS and rosacea. ✔️ Barrier-sealing: Locks in moisture without stinging, peeling, or pilling (especially when used with actives like tretinoin or azelaic acid). I’ve loved using this cream as a daily moisturizer or a thicker barrier-repair layer when my skin needs extra support. 🛍 I’ve linked it on my LTK so it’s easy for you to find. 💬 Comment BARRIER below and I’ll DM you the link directly! . . . . . . . . . . skincare skin eds hEDS ehlersdanlosawareness ehlersdanlossyndrome np health womenshealth derm lifestyle cream skincareroutine
