GlyMed Plus Protective Skin Serum with Ceramides is an ultra-light, creamy serum built to restore and reinforce a weakened skin barrier. If your skin is sensitized, persistently dry, red, or dealing with dry and inflamed breakouts, this formula delivers the lipids, humectants, and soothing botanicals your skin needs to recover and hold onto moisture. A subtle, natural almond aroma comes from benzaldehyde, an extract of bitter almond essential oil.
Key Benefits
Repairs and Strengthens the Skin Barrier Ceramide 3 replenishes the essential lipids that hold skin cells together, helping to rebuild a compromised barrier so moisture stays in and irritants stay out.
Deep, Lasting Hydration Without Heaviness Sodium hyaluronate and glycerin draw water into the skin while sunflower seed oil and jojoba seed oil lock it in, delivering layered hydration in an ultra-light texture that absorbs quickly.
Calms Redness and Irritation Bisabolol, oat extract, aloe barbadensis leaf extract, and centella asiatica extract work together to visibly reduce redness and soothe reactive, inflamed skin.
Supports Skin Renewal and Resilience Wheat amino acids and yeast beta glucan provide structural support that helps skin recover from damage, while panthenol accelerates the skin's natural healing process.
Antioxidant Defense for Vulnerable Skin Ascorbyl palmitate, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, retinyl palmitate, and thioctic acid (alpha-lipoic acid) protect compromised skin from environmental stressors that can slow recovery.
If your skin barrier is compromised, whether from over-exfoliation, harsh treatments, environmental exposure, or chronic dryness, this serum was designed specifically for you. It is especially well suited for sensitized, redness-prone skin that reacts to most products.
This is also an excellent choice if you experience dry, inflamed acne and need hydration and barrier support without heavy, pore-clogging textures. The lightweight formula layers easily under moisturizers and sunscreen without adding congestion.
Ideal for anyone whose skin feels tight, stings when applying products, or flakes persistently despite using moisturizer. If your skin needs to heal, this serum gives it the building blocks to do so.
If your skin stings or feels tight after cleansing, apply this serum to slightly damp skin. The sodium hyaluronate and glycerin will bind that surface water and pull it deeper, giving you noticeably better hydration and helping the ceramides absorb more evenly into the barrier.
Apply: After cleansing and toning, dispense 1 pump and smooth evenly over face, neck, and chest.
Technique: Press gently into skin rather than rubbing to avoid aggravating sensitive or inflamed areas.
Frequency: Use morning and evening. Layer with your preferred moisturizer for added protection. Always follow with SPF in the morning.

What skin concerns does GlyMed Plus Protective Skin Serum address?
This serum targets barrier damage, chronic dryness, redness, sensitivity, and dry inflamed acne. It replenishes the lipids and moisture that compromised skin has lost, helping to restore a healthy, functional barrier over time.
Is GlyMed Plus Protective Skin Serum lightweight enough to layer under other products?
Yes. Despite being creamy, the formula absorbs quickly and sits comfortably under moisturizers and sunscreen. It won't pill or feel heavy, making it easy to incorporate into a multi-step routine.
Can GlyMed Plus Protective Skin Serum be used on acne-prone skin?
Absolutely. It was formulated with dry, inflamed acne in mind. The non-comedogenic oils like jojoba and sunflower seed oil support the barrier without clogging pores, while bisabolol and oat extract help calm inflammation associated with breakouts.
What type of ceramide is in GlyMed Plus Protective Skin Serum?

Does GlyMed Plus Protective Skin Serum contain any forms of vitamin C or vitamin A?
Yes, it contains ascorbyl palmitate and magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, which are stable, gentle forms of vitamin C, along with retinyl palmitate, a gentle vitamin A derivative. These provide antioxidant protection and support skin renewal without the irritation that can come from more aggressive forms of these vitamins.
What does GlyMed Plus Protective Skin Serum smell like?
It has a subtle, natural almond aroma. The scent comes from benzaldehyde, which is extracted from bitter almond essential oil. GlyMed Plus uses only natural fragrances derived from plant extracts.
How long does it take to see results from GlyMed Plus Protective Skin Serum?
Many people notice improved comfort and reduced tightness within the first few applications as the humectants and oils begin working. Visible improvement in redness, flaking, and overall barrier strength typically develops over two to four weeks of consistent morning and evening use.
