Products that restore the skin microbiome
Not long ago, a French cosmetic brand released a cream with retinaldehyde, which acts 11 times faster than retinol and restores a healthy skin microbiome. However, for pre- and probiotics to work effectively, you need to prepare your skin for their use by creating the correct pH level. That’s why it’s better to use products such as REVILINE® pH balance tonic . It restores the acid-base balance of the facial skin thanks to the innovative peptide Rubixyl®, which helps the skin in the fight against everyday stress. The pH balance toner helps restore the acid-base balance of the facial skin to optimal levels and significantly increases the skin's resistance to various stress influences, smooths out wrinkles and improves complexion.
So, to summarize all that has been said: research into the microbiome and knowledge of what is beneficial for it and what is not, has become the impetus for the popularization of caring for the skin, the creation of laconic care programs and the emergence of cosmetics with delicate, minimalistic formulas and probiotics in composition. The latter serve as a breeding ground for the development of “good” bacteria and, as a result, solve many cosmetic problems. In particular, they help cope with sensitivity and dryness of the skin, and get rid of a variety of skin diseases, including acne and rosacea. Now you know everything about the soldiers of the invisible front, and therefore your skin care will become even more thoughtful.

How do probiotics affect the skin microbiome?
So, we have found out that cosmetic products cannot contain living organisms, so here “probiotics” are substances (bacteria) that optimize and restore the balance of the skin microbiome. They are really capable of increasing the protective function of the skin and local immunity.
The main task of probiotics in cosmetics is to increase the protective function of the skin. They enrich the microbiome, and thanks to such “good” bacteria, the skin more effectively fights the effects of external aggressive factors. Some bacteria have an antioxidant effect and have a moisturizing effect.
It is not recommended to combine cosmetics containing probiotics with other products. Active components such as acids, retinol, alcohol can negatively affect the skin microbiome. The result of the combined use of probiotic cosmetics with products containing other active ingredients cannot be predicted.
What are probiotics good for and what should they treat?
The benefits of probiotics
can be listed for a very long time, since they are quite multifaceted. These drugs are suitable for the treatment and prevention of many diseases. The most pronounced abilities of probiotics are:
- stabilization of the qualitative and quantitative structure of the microflora
(which prevents the development of dysbacteriosis and the occurrence of unpleasant signs of the disease); - synthesis of vitamins K and B
(which leads to improved breakdown of substances that come with food, normalization of digestion, neutralization of toxic elements and inhibition of the growth of pathogenic flora); - improving the course of pregnancy
(taking probiotics during the last trimester of pregnancy prevents premature birth, strengthens the immune system, eliminates the risk of fetal pathology, and has an anti-inflammatory effect).
Most often probiotics
are used to improve the functioning of the digestive system.
Since there are many types of medications, it is important to determine the right type of medication that can effectively overcome your existing health problems. Probiotics
can also be used for the purpose of prevention, this is especially true for newborns and early childhood.
What is the skin microbiome?
The skin microbiome is an incredibly exciting new field of scientific research that is changing everything we previously knew about humans. Previously, scientists believed that we consisted only of cells and organs. Now they have discovered a new system that is vital to our existence. Microbiome is a special ecosystem of microorganisms that live on and inside our body. The skin microbiome can be compared to fingerprints - each person is unique and consists of bacteria that affect everything - from the intestines to the immune system. Our skin is no exception. We inherit a special microbiome from our mothers. But over time it changes depending on lifestyle, age and environment. Today, the study of the skin microbiome is one of the most popular areas in dermatology, since research in this area can have a significant impact on the beauty industry. Research proves that the presence of bacteria on the skin is very important and beneficial for us. They protect the skin from allergens, external irritants and oxidative stress.

Antibiotic therapy is the purification of microflora from pathogenic elements. But along with them, beneficial bacteria also die. Therefore, after taking antibiotics, it is important to restore their balance.
