Unlock the secret to healthy and beautiful skin

Over 15 years ago, Lancôme’s laboratories’ Research began groundbreaking studies, exploring the link between the microbiome and the skin’s health and appearance. If we take a closer look at the body, we can see that we are made of 50% human cells and 50% bacterial cells. Our microbiome is a symbiotic part of us.

Scientists have discovered that each of us have a unique skin microbiome. Just like a signature, it is as individual as our DNA or our fingerprint. Its balance is essential to skin’s health and appearance.

The 3 key roles of microbiome are to protect, regulate, and repair the skin. When our microbiome is balanced, our skin is able to defend and recover, unfortunately, our unique microbiome can be compromised by our lifestyle and surrounding environmental conditions. UV rays, pollution, diet, medications and hormones are just some of the factors that can undermine the ecosystem – and could affect the essential partnership between our microbiome and skin.

Pollution is considered to be one of the primary causes of skin problems, leading to premature aging, dryness, wrinkles and dark spots – as well as an uneven tone and texture. Lancôme’s scientists have found that women living in a polluted environment and display premature signs of aging (such as wrinkles and pigmented spots) present a skin microbiome signature closer to that of an older woman.

So, like a secret power held within our skin, maintaining a balanced microbiome is a key factor for a healthy-looking and beautiful skin. Empowered by this discovery, Lancôme set about creating the ultimate formula to act on the skin microbiome.
