Rough skin texture.
Dull, fatigued complexion.
Increased sensitivity due to external aggressors.
When you notice a decline in the overall condition of your skin and it becomes difficult to find products that suit you, it’s essential to prioritise skin barrier care! The foundation of healthy skin begins with a healthy skin barrier!
Discover the key ingredients that hold the secret to building a resilient skin barrier:
1. 22% Cyto-ferm Activator™
Cyto-ferm Activator™ is a fourth-generation ingredient that embodies the essence of Su:m37°’s natural fermentation technology.
Cyto-ferm Activator™ is the key ingredient of Su:m37°’s “Secret Essence”. The ingredient has been developed through Su:m37°’s proprietary fermentation research involving 86 plant species, a process that has spanned 14 years and began with the launch of Su:m37°’s “Secret Programming Essence.”
Cyto-ferm Activator™ is a skin barrier fortifying ingredient that boasts four times the potency of its predecessor2. The ingredient has been developed by incorporating a rich array of exceptional ingredients identified through microbiome research conducted within the context of natural plant fermentation, a process that works to enhance the concentration of beneficial components.
[2] This comparison is made against Cyto-ferm™, the previous key ingredient in Su:m37°’s “Secret Essence,” based on in-vitro test results.
2. Liquid Ceramide Complex™
Liquid Ceramide Complex™ is a ceramide-based ingredient that has been finely dissolved into a liquid solution using Su:m37°’s advanced technology.
Liquid Ceramide Complex™ was developed using Su:m37°’s advanced technology to gently dissolve four types of melting ceramides, resulting in 20% finer particles3 and a 2.2-fold increase in ceramide content4 compared to the previous version. The ingredient works to replenish and improve the condition of skin with a compromised barrier, resulting in a denser and more resilient skin barrier.
[3] The size of the ceramide particles has been reduced by 20% relative to the previous version of Su:m37°’s “Secret Essence.”
[4] The 2.2-fold increase pertains exclusively to the Ceramide NP content.
