Skin’s microbiome is like a group of natural bacteria. It helps protect the skin from damage, and restore and maintain the skin’s health. It’s usually related to probiotics or prebiotics when it comes to skincare products.


International beauty groups have been researching this concept for years. The most well-known products in China are Lancôme’s Genifique serum (“Little black bottle 小黑瓶”). #EsteeLauder’s Night Repair serum (“Little brown bottle 小棕瓶”), and SK-II’s Facial Treatment Essense (“Magic water 神仙水”).
