How It Works

Built by cosmetic & microbiome scientists

Developed by experts in cosmetic science, microbiome research and nutrition to strengthen the skin barrier, support microbiome balance and protect against daily environmental stress.

Microbiome Complex for a stronger skin barrier

A blend of pre- and postbiotics, combined with niacinamide, supports your skin’s bacterial ecosystem, helping maintain barrier integrity and overall skin health.

Anti-dehydration shield for multi-layer hydration

AQUAXYL and hyaluronic acid optimise water flow within the skin and boost ceramides 1 & 2 to improve moisture retention and barrier resilience.

Blue-light activated enzyme for daily protection

Microalgae-derived enzymes combat digital and photoaging by protecting skin exposed to screens and daylight.

Antioxidants for all-day defence

A stable vitamin C derivative and vitamin E help counter free radicals, brighten the skin and protect against oxidative stress.

Lightweight, daily-wear texture

Designed for daily use under makeup or alone — absorbs quickly, hydrates deeply and leaves skin soft and radiant.

Proven results, by concern

Wrinkle depth decreased by 14 percentage points.

7 person clinical study using medical-grade imaging, 100% used Regime, 2026

Very effective day and night creams - fine lines really reduced. Day and night pills also excellent - a real boost in energy and feeling of well-being, perhaps due to more consistent / better sleep.
