Use one cleanser and one serum in both routines, then let the clock choose the final moisturizer: daytime protection in the morning, restorative barrier comfort at night.

Meet the four-product Microbiome rhythm

the marketer

customer value · why this product

A calmer-looking daily pattern comes from two shared steps and one moisturizer switch between morning and evening.

MUA / estheticianMUA / esthetician · selection, technique & troubleshooting

Show the set as two simple rails. The Microbiome Collection contains Microbiome Correcting Cleanser, Microbiome Boosting Serum, Microbiome Defense Daytime Moisturizer SPF 15, and Microbiome Restorative Evening Moisturizer. Morning uses cleanser, serum, and the daytime moisturizer. Evening repeats cleanser and serum, then changes the finish to the restorative evening moisturizer. Place Glowify® Microbiome Serum Primer after the four skincare products when luminous makeup preparation is wanted.

The skin microbiome is the skin's surface community of microorganisms. Picture a well-tended garden bed: the value comes from the surface environment where many organisms coexist, not from one organism acting alone. The collection's ferment-derived and barrier-support ingredients are chosen with that surface in mind. See where this collection sits in the complete skincare routine.

Cleanse with a postbiotic-aware formula

the marketer

customer value · why this product

A fresh-looking, comfortable surface starts with Microbiome Correcting Cleanser.

MUA / estheticianMUA / esthetician · selection, technique & troubleshooting

Circle Microbiome Correcting Cleanser gently over the face, then rinse until the surface feels clear of product. The formula combines Streptococcus Thermophilus Ferment, Niacinamide, Gluconolactone, Salicylic Acid, Lactobacillus/Punica Granatum Fruit Ferment, and Hamamelis Virginiana extract to support cleansing, gentle resurfacing, and a comfortable ready surface.

the skintellectualformula · mechanism · evidence

“Postbiotic” names fermentation by-products rather than living cultures. The collection also uses probiotic-derived ingredient identities, including Ligilactobacillus Salivarius (probiotic strain) in the evening moisturizer; the strain name identifies its source, while postbiotic identifies fermentation by-products. In the cleanser, fermentation-derived material joins Gluconolactone, Salicylic Acid, and Niacinamide. Rinsing creates a brief contact window, while the leave-on steps that follow remain on the surface. That contrast makes cleansing comfort and a clean finish the useful things to notice.

Make Boosting Serum the shared middle step

the marketer

customer value · why this product

A plumper-looking, cushioned finish begins with Microbiome Boosting Serum between cleansing and moisturizer.

MUA / estheticianMUA / esthetician · selection, technique & troubleshooting

Apply Microbiome Boosting Serum after cleansing and before either moisturizer. Its formula includes cross-linked Hyaluronic Acid polymer, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Ligilactobacillus Salivarius Ferment, Lactobacillus Ferment, Inulin, Lactococcus Ferment Lysate, and Caulerpa Lentillifera Extract. Keep the layer light and even, then let it settle before the daypart moisturizer.

the skintellectualformula · mechanism · evidence

Cross-linked Hyaluronic Acid polymer and Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid support water binding in different structures, while Inulin and postbiotic ferments shape the serum's microbiome-and-barrier role. Imagine a soft mesh beside smaller soluble strands: both sit inside one finished serum and one vehicle. The serum stays in the middle of both routines, so morning and evening begin from the same hydrated-feeling layer before the moisturizer changes.

Choose the morning moisturizer

the marketer

customer value · why this product

A smooth-looking morning finish begins with Microbiome Defense Daytime Moisturizer SPF 15 over settled serum.

MUA / estheticianMUA / esthetician · selection, technique & troubleshooting

After Boosting Serum settles, smooth Microbiome Defense Daytime Moisturizer SPF 15 evenly over the face. Lactobacillus Ferment and cross-linked Hyaluronic Acid polymer give this moisturizer its ferment-support and water-binding capabilities. Keep the serum layer light enough that the moisturizer spreads without rolling. Its Drug Facts list Zinc Oxide 6% and Octisalate 5% as active sunscreen ingredients. In this routine, that makes the morning moisturizer the labeled sun-protection step.

the skintellectualformula · mechanism · evidence

The daytime moisturizer adds an emulsion above the water-binding serum, joining ferment support with a cross-linked Hyaluronic Acid polymer. Watch the textures meet: the serum should settle as the underlayer, then the moisturizer should glide across it without lifting or pilling. That clean handoff closes the morning skincare stack with an even-feeling surface.

Let ceramides help close the evening

the marketer

customer value · why this product

A rested-looking, comfortably cushioned finish closes the day with Microbiome Restorative Evening Moisturizer.

MUA / estheticianMUA / esthetician · selection, technique & troubleshooting

At night, repeat Correcting Cleanser and Boosting Serum, then apply Microbiome Restorative Evening Moisturizer evenly. The formula pairs Ceramide NP, Cholesterol, and Triglycerides with Streptococcus Thermophilus Ferment, Lactobacillus/Punica Granatum Fruit Ferment, Ligilactobacillus Salivarius (probiotic strain), and Caulerpa Lentillifera Extract. These ingredients support its lipid-and-postbiotic barrier role.

the skintellectualformula · mechanism · evidence

Ceramide NP, Cholesterol, and Triglycerides echo familiar lipid categories in the outer barrier, while the postbiotic ferments extend the collection's microbiome logic. Picture the lipid trio filling the spaces around surface cells as the richer emulsion settles over the serum. The evening moisturizer creates a distinct night finish with more cushion, so the daytime moisturizer has no need to sit underneath it.

Use the collection when its complete rhythm fits

the marketer

customer value · why this product

A balanced-looking finish across both dayparts shows that the collection's textures fit your skin.

MUA / estheticianMUA / esthetician · selection, technique & troubleshooting

The collection suits someone who wants one coordinated cleanser-serum-moisturizer plan with postbiotic and barrier positioning. Salicylic Acid discomfort, repeated evening heaviness, or a steadier experience with another skin-type routine points toward a different fit. Change one variable at a time and compare the same checkpoint again.

the skintellectualformula · mechanism · evidence

Fit shows up at three checkpoints: comfort after cleansing, finish through the daytime layers, and feel the next morning. Treat those observations like a small dashboard. Repeated comfort across all three supports the collection's postbiotic, hydration, and barrier-lipid capabilities; recurring tightness or heaviness identifies the step to reassess.
