Cosmetic probiotics are live or lysed bacteria (Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Bifida), fermentation products (ferment lysate, filtrate), and postbiotics. They support the balance of the skin microbiome and strengthen its protective barrier.

They are used in moisturizing creams, essences, and serums for sensitive skin, barrier repair products, and microbiome-balance products. Popular in K-beauty formulas.
