LONDON, June 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- After selling out within just 48 hours of its US debut, hitting the number 1 sales spot on Olive Young and earning the title of Best Skin Barrier Repair Product at the 2025 Shape Skin Awards, COSRX's Ceramide Skin Barrier Moisturiser has quickly become one of the most talked-about products on TikTok - with users raving about its lightweight feel, intense hydration, and barrier-repairing power. Now, the viral K-beauty favourite is finally available to consumers in the UK.

For anyone tired of heavy, greasy moisturisers that clog pores or leave the skin feeling suffocated, Korean skincare brand COSRX unveils its latest innovation. Inspired by the cutting-edge texture technology that made Korean sunscreens a global favourite, the Ceramide Skin Barrier Moisturiser features that signature Korean "gliding" texture - melting into the skin with a silky, weightless finish while delivering long-lasting hydration. Designed to reinforce the skin barrier and restore balance, it redefines what modern skincare should feel like: breathable, effective, and effortless.
What Are Ceramides - And Why Do They Matter?
Ceramides are natural components of the skin's outermost layer. They act like a protective shield, helping to hold skin cells together and strengthen the skin barrier. When this barrier is strong, the skin is better able to retain moisture and stay protected against irritation, breakouts, dryness, and early signs of ageing.
As ceramide levels naturally decrease with age, the skin can become more vulnerable and sensitive. Skincare formulated with ceramides helps to restore and fortify this barrier - leaving the skin hydrated, soothed, and visibly healthier over time, making them an essential part of any daily routine.
Meet The Ceramide Skin Barrier Moisturiser
This innovative formula takes ceramide care to the next level: delivering deep hydration, reinforcing the skin barrier, and calming concerns such as irritation, breakouts, and sensitivity. However, unlike conventional ceramide moisturisers, its velvety, non-greasy texture absorbs quickly, making it ideal for both morning and evening routines.
