Science & Benefits

Hydrolyzed Yeast is a probiotic-rich extract containing beta-glucans and B-vitamins. It acts as a bio-mimetic humectant that supports the skin's microbiome while providing intensive surface hydration. It helps to regulate sebum quality and improves the skin's overall texture. It is completely non-comedogenic and non-irritating. It is a strategic choice for 'balancing' skin that is oily on the surface but feels tight and parched, providing deep nourishment and moisture without triggering new lesions.
