When skin feels drier, start with the barrier.
What ceramides do, what one eight-week ingredient study measured, and how a chocolate capsule can fit alongside your skincare.
When skin feels dry or tight, a familiar routine can start to feel less comfortable. The skin’s moisture barrier is one useful place to begin. Ceramides are lipids in its outermost layer; they help hold moisture in.
Moisturizer and sunscreen still have their place. An oral ceramide ingredient asks a different question: can daily supplementation change skin measurements over time?
Start with the barrier. Keep the skincare that works for you.
What the research actually measured
Kern C, et al. Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology 2024. Sponsored by the ingredient supplier.
In Kern et al. (2024), 72 women with dry skin were randomized to Ceramosides™ oil, powder or placebo. The 24 women taking 70 mg of the oil ingredient daily had, on average, 18.5% higher hydration, 11.2% higher elasticity and 9.2% lower crow’s-foot wrinkle depth after 56 days, compared with their starting measurements.
These are ingredient-study results, not percentages versus placebo or a trial of finished SOOID. The study was sponsored by the ingredient supplier.
“Only two weeks in, but I can already tell. Skin is less tight in the mornings. And they genuinely taste of chocolate.”
Why a chocolate you chew
SOOID’s chocolate capsule is made to be chewed after meals. Adults: chew one capsule three times a day after meals. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Each jar contains 60 capsules, enough for 20 days at that serving.
The format is about fitting the habit into your day. No clinical or absorption study of finished SOOID establishes a better result than other formats.
“Around week eight the firmness was the thing I noticed. Not dramatic — just my face holding its shape the way it used to.”

The researchers measured skin at two, four and eight weeks. These were study visits, not promised result dates. They also checked participants 56 days after supplementation stopped; the improvements were not maintained.
Three SOOID jars provide a 60-day supply, which covers the study’s eight-week supplementation period. Individual results vary.
Keep your moisturizer and sunscreen
SOOID adds nutritional support alongside your skincare. It does not replace sunscreen, treat pigmentation or remove the need for a moisturizer suited to your skin.
Who it is for — and who should check first
SOOID is a food supplement for adults. Contains milk, wheat, soy, hazelnut, almond and macadamia. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or managing a medical condition, ask your clinician before use. Follow the label and do not exceed three capsules daily.
