Restorative CERAMIDES + FATTY ACIDS + CHOLESTEROL rebuild barrier lipid integrity. Moisturize at a profound level.
Epidermal lipids are an essential part of the skin’s stratum corneum. Therefore the most effective lipids for maintaining skin health are those most identical to the epidermal lipids: ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids.
These lipids also make up about 50% of cell membranes, and can be damaged due to a process called lipid peroxidation, as well as exposure to internal and external stressors.
Intercellular lipid damage compromises barrier function, which can lead to transepidermal water loss. TEWL can result in dryness, irritation and wrinkles. Therefore it’s evident that lipids are an integral part of skin health, and key to a well-functioning barrier system. The essence of skin moisturizing is lipid replacement, best accomplished by applying the relevant lipids.
Ceramides maintain youthful, plump, well-hydrated skin.
Cholesterol lubricates surface layers, delivering an emollient + creamy texture to moisturize profoundly, without risk of irritation or breakouts.
Biomemetic fatty acids balance skin’s oil ratio without essential oils to disrupt barrier lipid balance or threaten its microbiome.
CERAMIDES Lipid molecules within cell membranes, they help cells form a protective layer that plumps skin and retains moisture.
CHOLESTEROL An important barrier lipid, it has water-binding properties and is crucial to maintaining proper barrier function.
FATTY ACIDS Polyunsaturated fats crucial to proper barrier function, examples are: Cranberry Seed oil, Black Raspberry seed oil, Chia seed oil, prickly pear seed oil, evening primrose oil.
PHOSPHATIDYL SERINE A phospholipid that is an important (though small) component of the lipid barrier. Some studies show topical application slows wrinkling by inhibiting enzymes that break down collagen.
EICOSAPENTAENOIC ACID A vegan alternative (from algae oil) to the hard-to-get type of Omega-3 (EPA) found in fatty fish.

This is the first product I purchased from MV. When it arrived, I used my olive oil soap to gently wash my face and pat it dry, then put the Lipid Complex on. I am not a spring chicken by any stretch of the imagination, and I can tell you, my face glowed the next morning. I'm in the process of trying several things to see what I like best, but this could just be my magic elixir.
My morning routine is washing with face oil, putting on a layer of the Barrier Restore Serum and then the Lipid Complex - my face has never looked better
I thought the oils felt great as a finishing step. This product has the same hydrating feeling but a deeper, more substantial texture/staying power. I use it at night or during the winter.
Omg this stuff is liquid gold! It feels so wonderful on my skin and I don’t know how I ever lived without it! Soo grateful I found it!!
So far so good! I love the ingredients list, and the fact that it is an emulsion, versus a pure oil. I find this helps it absorb much better and feels more skin friendly- that being said, it is quite heavy still for my 30 yo skin (although no doubt perfect for more mature skin) , so I mix it with two sprays of the probiotic mist which helps thin it out into a really lovely, very spreadable mixture.
