Probiotics is somethings we have known for a long time as an essential supplement for our body and health. Probiotics are living bacteria in our body that helps to regulate working processes and strengthen immune system. In skincare products probiotics are an essential part to improve skin’s microbiome, strengthen the barrier and provide long-lasting hydration and moisture. 

Let’s tackle the main terms. 

Before diving into the theme, we need to know what the ‘microbiome’ is and why is it important. Microbiome is a group of microorganisms that live in particular parts of our body and help to regulate processes in our organism. Microbiome is responsible for all the defensive mechanisms and our protection against eczema, allergies, acne, and other skin’s concerns. Probiotics and Prebiotics are those organisms that help to balance our microbiome and maintain the balance.

There are two main types you can find in your skincare products: 

Probiotics are a 'good' type of bacteria in our organism that help to keep the natural flora and maintain the balance of our microbiome. Probiotics are highly effective in soothing the skin, strengthening the barrier, reducing inflammations, and even restoring pH balance of the skin. 

Prebiotics, on the other hand, is something that can maintain Probiotics. It is simply a ‘good’ food for the probiotics that can improve the microbiome. Prebiotics in skincare helps to strengthen skin’s barrier and reduce the negative effect of external damage, reduce inflammations, and, of course, boost the performance of probiotics.

Let's see what K-beauty skincare products contain probiotics and prebiotics.
