Decisions, routines, and safety
How can I restore my skin microbiome if it is out of balance?
A balanced skin microbiome matters because it is part of the skin's protective surface ecosystem. When skin looks reactive, uneven, congested, or tired, simplify first: cleanse gently, stop over-cleansing, add hydration where skin feels tight, and change one step at a time.
The microbiome is the community of bacteria, fungi, and viruses that naturally lives on the skin's surface.
When that community is balanced, skin looks resilient. Harsh surfactants, antibacterial agents, alkaline cleansers, and over-cleansing can disrupt it.
Which Microbiome Collection product fits first?
Start where your skin asks for comfort, then build the rest of the day around it. See the complete Microbiome Collection.
If cleansing leaves the first sign of trouble, start there. Microbiome Correcting Cleanser pairs mild cleansers with pomegranate ferment and Streptococcus Thermophilus Ferment for a clean, comfortable rinse. Research on Streptococcus thermophilus explores support for the skin’s own barrier lipids. Niacinamide, Gluconolactone, Salicylic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, and Hamamelis Virginiana Water round out the finished cleanser’s oil-aware, soothing, hydrated-rinse, and radiance care. Explore the cleanser formula.
If tightness follows, add hydration before changing anything else. Microbiome Boosting Serum pairs Lactobacillus Ferment, which conditions dry-looking skin for a supple feel, with water-binding Sodium Hyaluronate, Hyaluronic Acid, and Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer. Sphingomonas Ferment Extract is a fermentation-made ingredient valued in cosmetic science for the silky texture it can lend a formula; Inositol, Caulerpa Lentillifera Extract, Glycerin, Ficus Carica Fruit Extract, and Sodium Polyglutamate complete this lightweight morning-and-evening moisture step. Explore the serum formula.
By day, finish with the collection's SPF step. Microbiome Defense Daytime Moisturizer SPF 15 pairs Lactobacillus Ferment with Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate and Sodium Hyaluronate for supple moisture, adds Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Tocopherol, Aronia and Sunflower extracts for antioxidant care, and provides labeled broad-spectrum SPF 15 through Zinc Oxide 6% and Octisalate 5%. Explore Microbiome Defense Daytime Moisturizer SPF 15.
For evening comfort, Microbiome Restorative Evening Moisturizer brings together Lactobacillus Ferment, which conditions dry-looking skin for a supple feel, Ceramide NP and Cholesterol for moisture-barrier support, and Squalane’s softening touch. Its pomegranate ferment is used in cosmetic science for enzyme-led surface refining. The richer finished formula adds extended moisture, softness, barrier comfort, and help improving the appearance of fine lines. Explore Microbiome Restorative Evening Moisturizer. Keep the rest of the routine steady long enough to see how your skin responds.
No one product can reset the skin's surface ecosystem. The Microbiome SkinCare Regimen Set brings together Microbiome Correcting Cleanser, Microbiome Defense Daytime Moisturizer SPF 15, Microbiome Restorative Evening Moisturizer and EyeCrème, with Microbiome Boosting Serum sold separately. Choose the Microbiome SkinCare Regimen Set when you want morning, evening and eye-area care together; shop the set or shop EyeCrème. Add Microbiome Boosting Serum separately for lightweight AM/PM hydration.
