What wears down your barrier every day?
The outermost layer of your skin is a thin shield that keeps moisture in. Four everyday habits wear it down the most.
Skin washed in 40-degree water loses more water than skin washed at 20 degrees. Wash your face with lukewarm water.
Ohlenschlaeger et al., 1996 ↗Harsh cleansers strip away your skin's own oils along with the dirt.
Ananthapadmanabhan et al., 2004 ↗Dry, cold air weakens your skin's protective layer.
Engebretsen et al., 2016 ↗Shaving takes a thin layer off the very top of your skin. The stinging and tightness afterwards often come from this.

Where does the prebiotic step in?
A prebiotic is an ingredient used by the beneficial microorganisms that already live on your skin. It isn't alive: that's what sets it apart from a probiotic cream.
A community lives on your skin
Millions of microorganisms live on the surface of your skin, and most of them are its friends.
Grice and Segre, 2011 ↗Byrd et al., 2018 ↗Prebiotics support the good ones
In the lab, some prebiotics supported the skin's beneficial bacteria, and the effect carried over into cream formulas too.
Bockmühl et al., 2007 ↗Petrov et al., 2022 ↗The community works with the barrier
The diversity of this community is linked to how the barrier works. Part of this was shown in animal studies.

What do the numbers say?
We took a close look at two studies done with products containing prebiotics. These studies weren't done with our cream; we've described their methods exactly as they were.
Less water escaping through the barrier in 28 days
TEWL · 110 people
Less redness in 28 days
Erythema index · 110 people
| Measurement day | Water escaping the barrier | Redness |
|---|---|---|
| Baseline | 0% | 0% |
| Day 1 | −7.9% | −5.8% |
| Day 7 | −12.3% | −10.6% |
| Day 14 | −16% | −12.6% |
| Day 28 | −20.4% | −17.1% |
Worth knowing: This study had no comparison group, and the cream contained other ingredients besides prebiotics. The results can't be put down to prebiotics alone.
Same serum, the only difference: prebiotic
Of 60 people, half used a serum with 7% prebiotic and half used an identical serum without it. After 8 weeks, the skin in the prebiotic group lost less water and showed less redness.
What we know
- The lipids in your skin's outer layer keep moisture in.
- Hot water, harsh cleansers, dry air and shaving wear this layer down.
- In a placebo-controlled study, a prebiotic serum reduced the water escaping from the skin.
What we don't know yet
- Which prebiotic, in what amount, gives the best results.
- The effects of long-term use.
- The studies here weren't done with our cream.

What is your skin telling you?
Which one sounds like you? Tap it and we'll show you the formula that suits you.
“Your skin feels tight after you wash your face.”
Same jar, three formulas for your skin
If your skin feels tight half an hour after washing your face, choose dry; if it's shiny, choose oily; if it's both, choose the all skin types formula. All three are the same price.
All skin types
If your cheeks get dry but your forehead shines, this formula is made for you. A light cream: it moisturises the dry areas without weighing down the oily ones.
Dry skin
If your skin feels tight after washing and gets flaky in places, choose this formula. A richer cream that softens the areas where your skin dries out.
Oily skin
Oily skin needs moisture too. This formula is a very light gel-cream: it moisturises your skin, reduces shine and won't clog your pores.
