The prebiotics ALPHA-GLUCAN OLIGOSACCHARIDE and INULIN serve as a food source for bacteria and together can support the commensal skin flora and strengthen the skin barrier by inhibiting the growth of unwanted bacteria on the skin. Together they can alleviate skin symptoms such as dryness and itching.

The postbiotic BIFIDA FERMENT LYSATE improves skin redness and strengthens the skin barrier by increasing the formation of proteins that serve to stabilize the cell structures in the skin. LACTOCOCCUS FERMENT LYSATE promotes skin renewal and accelerates the restoration of the skin barrier. It can improve the function of the skin barrier, optimize skin hydration and regulate the skin's pH, which can allow the skin's lipid-forming enzymes to work close to their pH optimum.

Retinal requires only one conversion to the active form of vitamin A and is therefore considered the most effective over-the-counter retinoid. It can reduce signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles, promote skin elasticity, help improve skin texture and increase epidermal thickness. In addition, retinal also has the ability to unclog pores and reduce bacteria that can cause acne.

Peptides are considered promising active ingredients in the field of well ageing, as they can improve skin structure, reduce wrinkles and moisturize. The 5-peptide complex combines various peptides that promote collagen and elastin formation, have an antioxidant effect and can have smoothing effects similar to Botox.

Ceramides are an essential component of a healthy skin barrier. They play a crucial role in the skin's ability to retain water and prevent excessive transepidermal water loss.

Ectoin belongs to the group of extremolytes - small molecules that protect microorganisms from environmental influences in extreme environments such as salt lakes or deserts. As a natural cell protection active ingredient, ectoine protects the skin from environmental influences, supports its regeneration and helps to reduce moisture loss in the long term.

Allantoin is known for its soothing and regenerative properties. It supports skin regeneration and can reduce redness. At the same time, allantoin is able to reduce transepidermal water loss.
