POSTBIOTICS

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.

AZELAIC ACID

Azelaic acid has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

CERAMIDES

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.

PREBIOTICS

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.

ECTOIN

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.

PEPTIDES

Peptides are considered promising active ingredients in the field of well-aging. Copper Tripeptide-1 and Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester specifically support skin regeneration and firming.
