The Next Generation of Probiotic Skincare

LaFlore® Live Probiotic Skincare helps skin by boosting the beneficial bacteria with topical LIVE probiotics, not just probiotic extracts, essences, or lysates. Topical LIVE probiotics help the skin microbiome produce the postbiotic metabolites skin needs to mend and thrive naturally. These postbiotics include AHA, PHA, BHA, vitamins like retinol, antimicrobial peptides, amino acids, micronutrients, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory substances, ceramides and more. The ingenuity behind using topical LIVE probiotics instead of lysate only products is that these products work with the individual’s unique skin microbiome to create exactly what it needs rather than making an educated guess, applying products, and hoping the desired results are achieved.

As further support, LaFlore® has a patent (US 10,959,950) for encapsulation of LIVE probiotics allowing them to remain dormant for more than two years without the need for refrigeration and are only activated when applied to the skin making them easy to keep in spa treatment rooms.
