What is it?

Bifida Ferment Lysate — lysate (broken cells) of Bifidobacterium longum or B. bifidus. Contains fragments of cell walls, polysaccharides, peptides, and nucleotides. It differs from the fermentate (liquid medium after growth) — the lysate contains intracellular components of bacteria, which enhances immunomodulatory activity. Used by L'Oréal Group (La Roche-Posay Cicaplast, Lancôme).

Restorative component for damaged, atopic, and mature skin. Often combined with Lactobacillus ferment, panthenol, and thermal water for comprehensive barrier restoration.

Key Benefits

Restoration of the microbiome and barrier function
Components of the lysate interact with TLR receptors of keratinocytes, normalizing the skin's immune response. TEWL decreases, and ceramide content increases. La Roche-Posay showed a 30% reduction in symptoms of atopic dermatitis in clinical studies with Cicaplast.
Anti-aging effect through matrix restoration
Stimulates collagen and laminins synthesis of the basement membrane. Improves adhesion between the epidermis and dermis, which significantly decreases with age. Studies show increased skin density and reduced wrinkles with regular use.
Soothing and healing
Reduces levels of IL-1α and TNF-α — pro-inflammatory cytokines. Effective after procedures (laser, peels, dermabrasion) and for reactive skin. Included in Cicaplast Baume B5 — one of the most clinically validated restorative products.
