What is the difference between the Pytoceramides and healthy skin and nails?

Thanks everyone.

I was wondering the same. If no one here knows, I'm sure Andrew will fill us in this weekend.

Regular use of Phytoceramides can:

Give the skin a more youthful appearance.
Increase suppleness of the skin and add moisture.
Decrease flakiness and drying.
Reduce inflammation.
Add protection against potential ultraviolet radiation damage.

That's what I read

Ceramides help your skin retain moisture.

HHS&N helps with hair/nail growth & appearance.

Phytoceramides is one supplement, not AL's, which I take that has made a big difference in how my skin looks and feels. It makes my skin soft and supple. I'm using less moisturizers since I started taking them. Seems to make the skin on my face look a bit more plumper and smoother. I won't go a day without it.

@SilleeMee

Would you mind posting the brand of ceramide supplement you purchase. The dermatologist told me my skin is always red and irritated due to loss of ceramides.

Thank you,

In the beginning I started with AL's. Then that got to drain the wallet so I started looking around for another brand which contained similar ingredients. The one I take now is PipingRock dot com's house brand. Contains the patented 'Lipowheat' phytoceramides. It's very affordable and works just as good as AL's imho. I take one capsule daily. One other place, besides my face, that I noticed increased hydration is my feet! They use to be so dry and cracked. Now after taking the phytoceramides my feet are so much better. @butterfly123

I tried AL Phytocerimides and noticed a nice brightening of my skin right away. That did not continue and I noticed no other benefits. Not something worth repurchasing for me.

HHS&N made a huge difference in my nails within 3 weeks. Hair took longer but lots of new hair growth. Never did anything noticeable for my skin. I was taking it for my nails.

I tried a different hair supplement - Joyce Giraud - at the beginning of the year and her product made a noticeable improvement to my hair over what HHS&N does, added shine & the ends of my hair don’t dry out. So no more of Andrew’s HHS&N for me.

I don't particularly care for the biotin added to the ALs phytoceramides supp. My experience with biotin in general has not been very promising and, in fact, it's been negative. I was taking a biotin supp which contained 10,000 mcg and took it for years hoping to see more hair growth. But all it did was make my hair very coarse and brittle so I stopped taking it altogether. The biotin in the AL phytoceramides is another reason I no longer buy it.

If you add up the price for 2 bottles of the 30 pills each oPiping Rock (total 60) for $24. and change and times it by 6 to get to 360 pills like Lessmans it comes to only $10. less than Andrews and I paid no tax on Andrews.

I totally agree!

Piping Rock is $146.94 for 360 and Procaps is $159.90. $12.96 more for Procaps. Plus free shipping and no tax through his website. I will order four items and get a 10% discount on his other items that are not a TS. I will buy from Procaps for this. I do order many supplements from PR, but not this time!

If AL's left out the biotin then maybe I would buy them. The biotin ingredient in them is what I don't want. I just want them to be all phytoceramides and nothing else. I see some other brands that put vitamins in them, too...not for me.

I live in a state that has to pay tax with HSN. Now, my sister in Texas pays no tax with HSN.

So, for me, it is more cost effective to order from Procaps directly. Plus, I always purchase enough to qualify for at least a 10% discount on products that are not a TS!

@SilleeMee I was glad to read your post and happy you like this product. I ordered late Friday night. I take some of his vitamins, but haven't used this one yet.

Thanks for reading my post @Daysdee . But I just wanted to be clear that I don't take AL supps, though I did take his phytoceramides at one time. I take Piping Rock's supp now. Sorry if I confused you. I do hope you find AL's works out for you. It did for me...I just didn't want the biotin in them so I stopped taking them and the cost was also getting a bit much at the time.
