We asked Kitchen about the different types of probiotics out there and he recommended Lactobacillus ferment, which is derived from Lactobacillus, a lactic acid bacteria. This probiotic ingredient is used in many HydroPeptide formulations, including the popular Power Serum Line Lifting Transformation — fitting, since it's been shown to boost collagen production while also providing antioxidant protection.

Though this technically contains prebiotic ingredients, as opposed to probiotic ones (meaning, it helps promote healthy bacteria rather than actually containing them), this popular moisturizer is still designed to have many of the same positive effects. As with probiotic skin care products, it helps to balance the skin, while also promoting a healthy skin barrier, making it great for people with sensitive skin or conditions like acne, rosacea or eczema.
