With a formula rooted in clinical science and microbiome-focused care, it’s built to restore, defend and deeply nourish skin that’s dry, irritated or simply out of sync. At the heart of the formula is a blend of ceramides, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, peptides, and a prebiotic and probiotic complex. Together, they work to reinforce the skin’s structure, soothe inflammation and support a balanced microbiome. The product is especially suited to sensitive or post-treatment skin that needs strengthening from the inside out.

Teoxane

Active Microscrub is the first exfoliating scrub from aesthetic brand Teoxane, which works as a hybrid solution to hydrate and strengthen the skin’s barrier whilst removing dead skin cells. Inspired by its dermal filler technology, the microscrub contains resilient hyaluronic acid (RHA), a crosslinked form that provides optimal skin hydration.
