A symbiotic relationship
Our skin is our first defense against diseases, infections, and other potential threats – which is why we should strive to keep it healthy and thriving. As we age, our microbiome and microbiota change in sync with our bodily developments and shifts in the environments surrounding us. And our stress levels also play a huge factor in our microbiotas well-being. So, how do we keep it strong and nourished?
Actibiome (And why your skin loves it)
In recent years, the skincare industry has undergone a revolution in understanding the complex ecosystem that is our skin microbiome. Actibiome is a combination of various components that provide beneficial nutrients to support the biodiversity and homeostasis (balance) of the skin microbiota to promote an even, satisfied complexion.
By actively restoring the skin’s pH balance and natural bacteria flora, this power-packed ingredient effectively prevents bacterial accumulation (read: breakouts), irritation, and redness. With its combination of salicylic and glycolic acids, it effectively exfoliates and unclogs pores, thereby reducing excess sebum, which would otherwise end up congesting pores and lead to impurities. As if that wasn’t enough, actibiome is also known to support the skin’s natural microbiota, leaving the complexion fit-for-fight against harmful bacteria.
In other words, the addition of actibiome in skincare represents a cutting-edge approach, focusing on building strong and resilient skin from the inside out.

- Reduced inflammation: By promoting a balanced microbiome, skincare with actibiome can help reduce inflammation and soothe irritated skin conditions such as eczema and rosacea.
- Breakout management: Skincare with actibiome can be particularly beneficial for individuals prone to breakouts. By targeting the underlying causes of impurities, such as bacterial imbalances and inflammation, products containing actibiome can help prevent breakouts and promote clearer skin.
