Q: How do I know which skincare products are right for my skin?

A: Great question - because no two skins are the same. Your skin’s needs change over time due to factors like stress, environment, age, and lifestyle. That’s why optiphi® uses the MSC Code™ (Medical Skincare Code) - a smart, professional tool designed to personalise your skincare.

The MSC Code™ provides a structured score based on a professional skin analysis. This score reflects the current condition of your skin, helping guide the selection of products that align with what your skin needs right now.

Whether your skin is feeling dry, sensitive, oily, or in need of renewal - the MSC Code™ takes the guesswork out of skincare and supports a more tailored, targeted approach.
Ask your optiphi® skin professional about your MSC Code™ and take the next step in your personalised skincare journey.

The Future of Skincare: Powered by Exosomes

Exosomes are emerging as one of the most exciting developments in skin science - and they’re at the heart of the Turmeric Root Extract used in ProBio+.

With 1 billion exosomes per millilitre, this plant-derived extract supports the effective delivery of key ingredients in the formulation. Exosomes are tiny, naturally occurring messengers that play a role in cell-to-cell communication, helping to optimise how ingredients interact with the skin’s surface.

In ProBio+, these exosomes are paired with microbiome-conscious ingredients to complement the skin’s natural environment. Turmeric Root Extract is also well-suited for sensitive skin and those exposed to daily environmental stressors, making it a smart, supportive addition to your routine.

Innovation meets intention - in every drop.

Behind the Formula: ProBio+
Thoughtfully formulated for daily skin support, ProBio+ combines advanced microbiome-conscious ingredients with skin-compatible emollients. Here’s a closer look at some of the key ingredients that bring balance and comfort to the formulation:
1. Ectoin
A multifunctional molecule known for its protective and soothing properties. Ectoin helps support the skin barrier and is especially suited for sensitive skin. It also contributes to skin hydration and surface comfort.
2. Ceramide 2
Naturally found in the skin, Ceramide 2 plays a role in moisture retention and skin barrier support. Its inclusion in ProBio+ complements the formula’s focus on maintaining a well-balanced, resilient skin environment.
3. Jojoba Oil
This plant-derived oil is biocompatible and non-comedogenic, making it ideal for everyday use. Rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids, Jojoba Oil nourishes and conditions the skin while supporting a balanced look and feel.

These ingredients, alongside probiotic-inspired actives and fermented lysates, make ProBio+ a sophisticated choice for those seeking a microbiome-conscious approach to moisturising care.

Should all bacteria on the skin be removed?

NO: Your skin is home to a diverse community of microorganisms — and many of them are beneficial.

Over-cleansing or using harsh products can disrupt this delicate balance. Supporting your skin’s microbiome doesn’t mean eliminating bacteria - it means maintaining harmony to help your skin function at its best.

Formulated with microbiome-conscious ingredients, ProBio+ is designed to complement this balance as part of your daily routine.

Inside ProBio+: Ingredient Spotlight

ProBio+ is formulated with a sophisticated blend of natural actives and fermentation-derived ingredients, carefully selected to complement your daily skincare routine. Each component brings unique characteristics to the formulation, contributing to a balanced, microbiome-conscious approach to skin support.

🔬 Lactobacillus Ferment (L. Rhamnosus)
This probiotic-derived ingredient is included for its skin-compatible properties. It is well-regarded for its role in microbiome-conscious formulations and contributes to maintaining comfort and balance while helping the skin cope with environmental stressors.

🌿 Lactobacillus Ferment (L. Paracasei)
Known for its antioxidant properties, this ingredient is used in ProBio+ to help calm and soothe the skin. It’s often included in skincare for its supportive effects on hydration and its contribution to a well-maintained skin tone.

💧 Bifida Ferment Lysate (Bifidobacterium)
This lysate is a fermentation-derived ingredient chosen for its ability to support barrier-focused formulations. It plays a role in maintaining moisture and helping the skin feel comfortable over time.

⚗️ Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate (Lactococcus Lactis)
Valued for its renewal-supportive properties, this lysate is used to assist with maintaining the skin’s overall quality. It is also known for its role in supporting the outermost layer of the skin.

Together, these ingredients form the foundation of ProBio+, a modern moisturiser developed to align with the latest advances in microbiome-aware skincare science. The combination of fermented extracts and natural actives reflects a commitment to thoughtful formulation, suitable for a wide range of skin types and everyday use.

Skincare is a journey, not a quick fix.

Consistency matters more than complexity. Whether your routine includes three steps or ten, what truly counts is how well it supports your skin’s current needs and fits into your daily life.

Skincare isn’t just about appearance — it’s about care, awareness, and creating small moments of intention every day.

No two skins are the same, and no routine should be either.
