What is Lactobacillus Ferment?
The main benefit of this probiotic ingredient is how powerful it is at killing harmful bacteria and restoring balance to the skin’s microflora. When compared to the popular blemish combating ingredient salicylic acid, you will find that lactobacillus ferment can work faster at reducing any redness and size of active spots and breakouts. It is able to soothe and calm any inflammations without causing any dryness or stripping it of any vital oil it needs to remain healthy and balanced. It is also able to keep the skin’s barrier at its healthiest state resulting in it protecting itself from daily skin aggressors, such as pollution, overexposure to UV rays and cold weather.
