When skin is compromised, stressed, or recovering from a treatment, it needs more than a basic moisturizer. It needs barrier restoration. The Dermathod Ami-Sterol Cream is a professional grade Korean recovery cream formulated with a biomimetic lipid complex of Ceramide NP, Cholesterol, and Squalane — the same lipids naturally found in healthy skin. Together they rebuild the protective barrier from the inside out, seal in moisture, and create the ideal environment for skin to heal. It is the go-to finishing step after chemical peels, microneedling, laser treatments, waxing, or the Dermathod O2 Tox Peel. It also works beautifully as a daily moisturizer for dry, dehydrated, or barrier impaired skin that needs consistent support between treatments. Frequently Asked Questions Is this cream safe for acne prone skin? The Ami-Sterol Cream is best suited for dry, normal, and post-procedure skin. For acne prone skin we recommend the Dermathod Soba Calm Cream as an alternative, which is specifically formulated to support barrier repair without the heavier lipid profile that can contribute to congestion. Can I use this cream every day? Yes. For dry or barrier impaired skin it works well morning and night as a daily moisturizer. For normal skin it is ideal as a nighttime recovery cream or any time skin feels stressed, dry, or tight. What is the difference between Ami-Sterol Cream and Med Shield Epidermal Cream? Both are barrier repair creams from Dermathod. Ami-Sterol is richer and better suited for dry, mature, or post-procedure skin. Med Shield is formulated for a broader range of skin types. If you are unsure which is right for you, consider your skin type and how it responds to richer creams. When should I apply this in my routine? As the final step after all serums and treatments. Think of it as the seal that locks everything in and protects the barrier while your skin recovers and regenerates overnight.
