Within your body you have several microbiomes, and each microbiome is made up of different microorganisms (viruses, bacteria, and fungi). Most of these microorganisms are good and benefit your body. Probiotics can help improve and balance the microbiomes in your body, leading to improved overall health, and you can obtain probiotics from foods, supplements, or in other products, including skincare products.

We're barely scratching the surface on probiotics, so if you'd like to increase your knowledge base, go here.
What do probiotics do? They can be a huge asset to your skincare routine from helping to improve the skin's natural barrier against harmful substances to retaining moisture and of course, help reduce the signs of aging.
If you’re looking for that often-elusive fountain of youth (join the club!), making sure your skincare products include probiotics can go a long way towards helping your skin look its best now and way into the future.
Our probiotics are not standard cultured bacteria, rather our specially developed probiotic microorganisms harness the power of probiotics to support and protect the skin’s natural microbiome. This bioactive solution is designed to reinforce the skin’s defense system, making it more resilient against environmental aggressors and irritation.
ZENTS probiotic products contain a microorganism derived from Lactobacillus pentosus which is known for its ability to balance and strengthen the skin’s microbiota. By promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria, it helps maintain a healthy microbial ecosystem, preventing disruptions that can lead to sensitivity, inflammation, and discomfort.
Probiotics Properties, Meet Skin: A Match Made in Ageless Beauty
If you’re wondering how can probiotics help keep skin looking younger? Probiotics can offer the following benefits to your skin that can specifically arm your skin against those things that can make it look and feel older than it actually is.
Simply including probiotics in your skincare routine can help balance your skin’s often-delicate skin microbiome. Below are just a few ways probiotics can help your skin:
- Help maintain smoothness: Let’s be honest...the smoother your skin, the younger you look.
- Enhanced Skin Barrier Protection: Supports the skin’s natural defenses, reducing its vulnerability to irritants and pollutants.
- Help keep the skin’s pH in the proper balance: An out-of-balance pH can make your skin more prone to looking older.
- Help skin retain the proper levels of elasticity: The more elasticity in your skin, the younger it looks!
- Reduce the appearance of wrinkles
- Help reduce the effects of sun damage. Sun damaged skin simply looks older.
- Help skin retain moisture—moist skin is younger looking skin!
- Calming & Soothing Properties: Help alleviate skin irritation and redness by modulating the immune response.
Can probiotic lotion replace regular moisturizers?
That depends on your skin since probiotic lotions and regular moisturizers can offer different benefits. Regular moisturizers focus mainly on hydrating your skin and keeping moisture locked in while also protecting the outer layers of your skin from the environment. Probiotic lotions, while not offering the same degree of moisture as traditional moisturizers, contain those beneficial bacteria that can help protect and balance the skin’s microbiome, providing the probiotic-related benefits we listed above as well as enhancing the overall health and hydration of your skin. If your main concern with your skin is hydration, then a regular moisturizer is the way to go. If you deal with any skin issues or want to take extra steps to prevent skin issues, then a probiotic lotion can offer some amazing benefits for your skin. However, the choice isn’t an either/or decision. To get the best of both worlds—skin issues or not, opt for a moisturizer that also contains probiotics to help ensure your skin stays as healthy and hydrated as possible now and into the future.
Additional benefits:
- Helps to hydrate
- Helps restore by making sure the skin has what it needs to keep its barrier intact
- Helps create a skincare ritual that can also give you a little time for yourself
