Properties

Beauty

This serum provides an all-in-one solution for reactive, sensitive or stressed skin. It calms immediate discomfort (tightness, overheating, redness, tingling, itching, and dryness) while strengthening your skin long term.

It also relieves sensitised and damaged skin exposed to temporary stress (cold, wind, sun, heat, temperature variations, air conditioning, dry air, pollution, etc.), offering instant comfort and protection.

Its innovative, high-tolerance formula combines prebiotics, vitamin B12 and ceramides to deliver 360° soothing effects on all signs of sensitive skin. Acting in two stages: it calms discomfort immediately while preventing new irritation and restoring the skin barrier over time. Your skin is soothed today, stronger and better protected for the future.

Soothed discomfort

  • Tightness, tingling, feelings of overheating... this serum's formula soothes discomfort in just 1 minute.

  • Vitamin B12 helps to reduce itching and tingling, so feelings of tightness fade until they disappear completely, and irritations are soothed immediately and lastingly.

  • This serum's formula, enriched with NP ceramides, reduces dryness and restores and strengthens the skin's barrier for pleasant-feeling skin.

  • Skin sensitivity is immediately reduced (redness, tingling, sensation of overheating) and skin is soothed day after day.

Reduced redness

  • A genuine unifying solution, this serum visibly reduces redness within 30 minutes thanks to the action of barley polypeptides.

  • Results: your skin is smoother, your complexion brighter and more even.

Stronger skin today and tomorrow

  • Your skin is nourished and moisturised thanks to the combined action of hydrating hyaluronic acid, ceramide NP and oat oil.

  • Your skin is durably protected from external damage thanks to the combination of prebiotics and NP ceramides.

  • This serum restores and strengthens the skin barrier: your skin is more resistant and better protected against future irritation and external damage.

  • Your skin looks regenerated and healthier thanks to the combination of soothing liquorice extract and prebiotics.

Composition

Our key active ingredients

Soothing effects

VITAMIN B12: vitamin B12 reduces the production of inflammatory messengers and modulates the release of histamine, a molecule involved in allergic reactions, while reducing itching and redness in eczema-prone and atopic skin. It provides the serum with soothing effects to make skin feel pleasant once more.

DIPOTASSIUM GLYCYRRHIZATE: extracted from liquorice, this molecule plays a key role in soothing and reducing skin inflammation by inhibiting the formation and release of histamine. It also promotes the cell regeneration process. It gives the serum reinforced soothing effects.

Rebalancing effects on skin microbiota

PREBIOTICS: this complex of two prebiotics, alpha-glucan oligosaccharides and inulin, balances the skin's microbiota, restores, strengthens and protects the skin's natural barrier function and stimulates the skin's defences. Prebiotics increase the presence of Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria, which help defend the skin against 'bad micro-organisms', modulating the skin's defence system and helping to repair it. They give this skin care product preventive effects and keep the skin healthy in the long term.

Immediate anti-redness effects

BARLEY POLYPEPTIDE: this powerful upcycled active ingredient is extracted from barley. Rich in proteins, polysaccharides and polypeptides, it rapidly reduces and soothes redness and irritation. Clinically tested, it significantly reduces redness within two hours, while perfectly respecting the skin's microbiome.

Strengthens and repairs the skin's lipid barrier

CERAMIDES NP of plant origin: also known as ceramides III, these are lipids naturally present in the skin. They are the main constituents of the skin's lipidic cement, representing 40% of the lipids in the stratum corneum. These lipids strengthen the skin barrier, making it less reactive and protecting it from external damage. A healthy skin barrier helps to lock water in the skin and protect it from external damage. Ceramide NP helps rebalance damaged and eczema-prone skin. It promotes skin comfort and combats cutaneous dryness.

OAT OIL - Exceptionally rich in ceramides and phytosterols, this oil has a soothing, protective, nourishing, restructuring and softening effect. Gentle skincare for sensitive and delicate skin.

Moisturising effects

HYALURONIC ACID: 100% natural origin and produced by non-GMO wheat fermentations, hyaluronic acid is a powerful moisturising and plumping active ingredient. It prevents insensible water loss and preserves and reinforces skin hydration.

Microbiota balance: understanding it better to protect sensitive, damaged and reactive skin

What is the skin microbiota?

Our skin is colonised by a group of micro-organisms made up of both 'good bacteria', responsible for protecting the skin against external damage, and 'pathogenic' bacteria, responsible for inflammation or blemishes, which live together in symbiosis. The vast majority of microorganisms on the surface of our skin have a protective function and play a beneficial and essential role in many physiological phenomena. The skin microbiota is the most complex and diverse in the human body. In return, our body provides the microorganisms with all the elements they need to survive: free water, sources of carbon, nitrogen and microelements.

What happens when the skin microbiota is out of balance?

Numerous disturbances caused by our own bodies (such as an unbalanced diet or taking antibiotics) or by external factors (sunlight, pollution, tobacco, chemicals, allergens, etc.) can affect the fragile balance between the 'good' and 'bad' micro-organisms on the skin's surface. These disturbances lead to the appearance of opportunistic "bad bacteria" (bad bacteria get the better of the good bacteria), which alter our skin's immune response and cause excessive inflammation that can lead to the appearance of various problems (redness, irritation, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, acne, etc.).

Maintaining a healthy balance in the skin's microbiota helps to protect the skin from external damage and plays a preventive role in reducing the onset of skin problems.

What is a prebiotic?

A prebiotic can be compared to selective food for the 'good micro-organisms'. By encouraging the growth of these beneficial microorganisms within the microbiota, they help to strengthen the skin's natural barrier function, stimulate the immune system and help to maintain beautiful skin.
