The prebiotics ALPHA-GLUCAN OLIGOSACCHARIDES and INULIN serve as a food source for bacteria and can thus work together to support the skin’s commensal flora and strengthen the skin barrier by inhibiting the growth of unwanted bacteria on the skin. Together, they can alleviate skin symptoms such as dryness and itching.

The postbiotic BIFIDA FERMENT LYSATE reduces skin redness and strengthens the skin barrier by increasing the production of proteins that help stabilize the skin’s cellular structures. LACTOCOCCUS FERMENT LYSATE promotes skin renewal and accelerates the restoration of the skin barrier. It can improve the function of the skin barrier, optimize skin hydration, and regulate the skin’s pH level, which may allow the skin’s lipid-forming enzymes to function close to their optimal pH.

Retinal requires only a single conversion to become the active form of vitamin A and is therefore considered the most effective over-the-counter retinoid. It can reduce signs of skin aging such as fine lines and wrinkles, promote skin elasticity, help improve skin texture, and increase epidermal thickness. In addition, retinal also has the ability to unclog pores and reduce bacteria that can cause acne.

Peptides are considered promising active ingredients in the field of well-aging, as they can improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and provide moisture. The 5-peptide complex combines various peptides that promote collagen and elastin production, have antioxidant effects, and can produce smoothing effects similar to Botox.

Ceramides are an essential component of a healthy skin barrier. They play a crucial role in the skin’s ability to retain moisture and prevent excessive transepidermal water loss.

Ectoin belongs to the group of extremolytes—small molecules that protect microorganisms in extreme environments, such as salt lakes or deserts, from environmental stressors. As a natural cell-protecting ingredient, ectoin shields the skin from environmental stressors, supports its regeneration, and helps reduce moisture loss over the long term.

Allantoin is known for its soothing and regenerative properties. It supports skin regeneration and can reduce redness. At the same time, allantoin helps reduce transepidermal water loss.
