Science
Mechanism of Action
This dual-action ferment functions by upregulating key barrier proteins, specifically filaggrin and involucrin, while inducing endogenous DNA repair enzymes like endonucleases to mitigate UV damage. It simultaneously modulates the neuropeptide Substance P to desensitize reactive skin and employs high concentrations of baicalin to neutralize oxidative stress and suppress pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Clinical Evidence
High confidence5%
Key findings
- 01 Application of a 10% Bifida-based extract demonstrated a significant reduction in skin reactivity and improved barrier integrity over an 8-week period.
- 02 A 1% concentration achieved up to 96.73% recovery in cell scratch healing assays, confirming potent regenerative properties.
- 03 Concentrations between 2% and 10% effectively inhibited UVA-induced oxidative damage and reduced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS).
Transparency
Dusting Analysis
While many brands use ferments at symbolic levels, clinical efficacy for barrier repair and healing begins as low as 1%. For significant DNA protection and sensitivity reduction, concentrations closer to 5-10% are required.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
