Dr. Alva - 287 Probiotics Professional Repairing Essence 1.3ml*30

Quick to Know It:

• Lightweight, fast-absorbing gel that delivers concentrated actives without greasiness.
• Strengthens skin barrier; provides antioxidant protection; soothes irritation and redness.
• Anti-aging, intensive moisturization, and microbiome support for a resilient, healthy complexion.
• Leaves skin feeling soft, smooth, and hydrated with a natural, healthy-looking finish.

❶ Texture: A Lightweight, Concentrated Gel

• As an essence, this product is designed to have a water-light, rapidly absorbing gel texture. Ingredients like Water, Butylene Glycol, and Glycerin form the humectant-rich base that delivers a concentrated dose of active ingredients without feeling heavy or sticky [product INCI]. The inclusion of emollients like Isoamyl Laurate and C14-22 Alcohols ensures that while the texture is light, it still provides a degree of smoothness and conditioning to the skin's surface.

❷ Function: Repair, Soothe, and Strengthen

This essence serves multiple functions to improve skin health:

• Strengthens the Skin Barrier: The star ingredient, Bifida Ferment Lysate, is a probiotic lysate clinically shown to reinforce the skin barrier. Research indicates it upregulates genes responsible for skin barrier function (like filaggrin) and boosts antimicrobial peptides, helping the skin resist oxidative stress and inflammation. This is complemented by nourishing and repairing ingredients like Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5), Shea Butter, and Hydrogenated Lecithin.
• Intensive Soothing and Calming: The formula includes a powerful combination of soothing agents. 4-tert-Butylcyclohexanol is a well-researched ingredient known to act as a TRPV1 antagonist, effectively reducing sensations of stinging, burning, and redness associated with sensitive skin and conditions like perioral dermatitis and rosacea. This is further supported by Bisabolol (chamomile-derived) and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (licorice root-derived), which help calm irritation and reduce redness.
• Antioxidant and Protective Action: Bifida Ferment Lysate also offers strong antioxidant properties, helping to neutralize free radicals and protect skin cells from environmental damage. Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) adds another layer of antioxidant protection.

❸ Targeted Benefits: Anti-Aging, Hydration, and Microbiome Support

The essence targets multiple signs of aging and sensitivity simultaneously:

• Intensive Moisturization and Plumping: It features multiple forms of Hyaluronic Acid, including Sodium Hyaluronate and Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate. These molecules attract and retain moisture at different skin levels, providing deep hydration that helps plump the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines. Clinical studies have shown that topical application of ingredients like sodium hyaluronate and ectoin can reduce wrinkle depth and significantly increase skin hydration and radiance.
• Promotes a Healthy Microbiome: As the name suggests, this essence is rich in probiotic ingredients. In addition to Bifida Ferment Lysate, it contains Lactobacillus/Soy Milk Ferment Filtrate. These postbiotic ingredients help support a balanced and resilient skin microbiome, which is crucial for maintaining a strong barrier and defending against external aggressors.
• Supports Skin Renewal and Firmness: Bifida Ferment Lysate is recognized for improving the skin's epidermal renewal process. Furthermore, ingredients like Sodium DNA (which provides nucleotides for skin repair) and Ectoin (which protects cells from stress) contribute to a more youthful, firm, and resilient complexion.

❹ Finish: Soft, Smooth, and Naturally Radiant

• Given its blend of ingredients, this essence is to leave the skin feeling soft, smooth, and comfortably hydrated. The combination of humectants (like glycerin and hyaluronic acid) and non-greasy emollients (like isoamyl laurate) works to smooth the skin's texture and enhance its natural radiance without leaving a heavy or sticky film [product INCI].

❺ In Summary

• This essence is a well-rounded treatment for those seeking to repair a compromised skin barrier, calm sensitivity, and combat early signs of aging, all while supporting the skin's natural microbiome.

Precaution

• Patch Test: Although the formula is designed to be soothing (with ingredients like 4-tert-Butylcyclohexanol to reduce stinging), perform a patch test on your inner arm or behind your ear 24 hours before first use if you have extremely reactive skin.
• Avoid Pilling: This essence contains Xanthan Gum and Acrylates Copolymer (thickeners/texturizers) [product INCI]. To prevent pilling (balling up) when layering with other products, apply it to slightly damp skin and allow it to absorb fully (about 30–60 seconds) before moving to the next step.
• Interaction with Actives: This essence is primarily reparative. If you are using strong exfoliants (AHAs/BHAs) or high-strength Retinoids in the same routine, monitor your skin for sensitivity. While this product helps repair the barrier, layering too many actives at once can cause irritation.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the stability of the probiotic ferments and antioxidants like Tocopheryl Acetate.
• For Kids Safety: Adult Cosmetics. Always keep the the product away from children.

How to Apply

This essence is designed to be used after cleansing but before heavier creams or oils. Follow these steps for optimal results:

• Start with Clean Skin: Begin with a gentle cleanser. Pat your face dry, leaving it slightly damp. Applying essence to damp skin helps lock in extra hydration.
• Dispense the Product: Dispense an appropriate amount (usually a few drops or a dose) into the palm of your hand.
• Application Technique: Press and Pat: Rub your palms together gently to warm the product, then press it into your skin. Use a patting motion rather than rubbing or dragging. This method helps drive the product deeper into the skin and improves absorption, especially for ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid and the ferments.
• Neck and Décolletage: Don't forget to extend the product down to your neck and chest, as these areas also benefit from barrier repair.
• Allow Absorption: Wait about 30 to 60 seconds for the essence to fully absorb. You should feel your skin become soft and hydrated but not tacky.
• Follow with Moisturizer: Lock in the benefits by applying a moisturizer. This seals the active ingredients and provides the occlusive layer needed to keep hydration in. Because this essence contains lightweight emollients like Isoamyl Laurate, it prepares the skin perfectly for the next steps in your routine.
• Frequency: This essence is gentle enough for use both AM and PM.

1. Morning: Prepares skin for makeup and protects against daily stressors.
2. Evening: Works with the skin's natural repair processes to restore the barrier overnight.
