Microbiome Serum for Breakout-Prone & Sensitive Skin | Barrier Balancing Treatment

Is your skin breaking out, feeling inflamed, or struggling to stay balanced despite your best efforts?

When the skin's microbiome becomes disrupted, whether from over-exfoliation, harsh products, stress, or environmental exposure, the barrier weakens. This imbalance can lead to breakouts, dehydration, redness, and sensitivity.

Microbiome Balancing Treatment is a restorative cream designed to help rebalance the skin's natural ecosystem while strengthening its protective barrier. It delivers significant hydration, supports healthy lipid function, and helps reduce the appearance of blemishes without clogging pores.

At the center of the formula is Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate, a probiotic-derived ingredient that supports microbiome balance and reinforces barrier resilience.

Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Oil provides ceramide-rich moisture while helping calm irritation and reduce visible breakouts.

A Triple Ceramide Complex — Ceramide AP, Ceramide EOP, Ceramide NP — replenishes essential lipids, helping prevent moisture loss and protecting against environmental stressors.

Multi-weight Sodium Hyaluronate delivers layered hydration, supporting barrier repair while improving firmness and comfort.

Reishi Mushroom Extract and Shiitake Mushroom Extract nourish and soothe with polysaccharide-rich support for inflamed or reactive skin.

Squalane restores softness with biomimetic lipids that mirror the skin's natural oils.

Niacinamide helps regulate sebum, reduce redness, and support a clearer, more even complexion.

The result:
• Supports a balanced skin microbiome
• Improved barrier function
• Balanced hydration without heaviness
• Reduced appearance of breakouts and blemishes
• Calmer, more resilient skin

Ideal for:
• Breakout-prone skin
• Sensitive or reactive skin
• Dehydrated yet oily complexions
• Post-treatment barrier repair
• Skin experiencing microbiome imbalance

When the microbiome is supported, the skin begins to regulate itself more intelligently.

Use: Lightly massage a small amount onto face, neck, or body. Use twice daily for best results.

Size: 1.7 oz.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this serum if my skin is both sensitive and breakout-prone?

Yes. This formula was specifically developed for skin that needs both barrier support and blemish care. Rather than stripping the skin, it helps maintain a healthy skin barrier while supporting a balanced microbiome for a calmer, healthier-looking complexion.

What does the skin microbiome do?

Your skin microbiome is the community of beneficial microorganisms that naturally live on your skin. When balanced, it helps support your skin barrier, maintain moisture, and defend against environmental stressors. Supporting this natural ecosystem can help promote healthier-looking skin over time.

Can a damaged skin barrier contribute to breakouts?

Yes. When the skin barrier becomes compromised, irritation and moisture loss can increase, making skin more reactive. Supporting a healthy barrier helps create an environment where skin can better maintain balance while reducing the appearance of dryness, irritation, and blemishes.

Can I use this product with acne treatments?

Yes. Many people use this treatment alongside blemish-focused skincare to help maintain hydration and support the skin barrier. If you use stronger active ingredients, introduce products gradually and adjust your routine based on your skin’s needs.

How is Microbiome Barrier Balancing Treatment different from Keep It Calm Relief Serum?

Both products support sensitive skin, but they focus on different concerns. Keep It Calm Relief Serum is designed to calm visible redness and daily skin reactivity. Microbiome Barrier Balancing Treatment focuses on strengthening the skin barrier and supporting a balanced microbiome for skin that is sensitive, breakout-prone, or easily disrupted.
