Bifida Ferment Lysate

Bifida ferment lysate is a biotechnological product – a mixture of broken-down cells of Bifidobacterium probiotic culture.

According to the patent holder, the Bifida ferment lysate contains enzymes that are able to repair damaged DNA in skin cells and therefore prolong their life and vitality. This claim has never been confirmed by any independent research, and so it cannot be confirmed whether it really works that way.

Bifidobacterium is a species of probiotic bacteria that live naturally in the human intestines. Probiotic bacteria, in general, are important for gut health and might also have beneficial effects on the skin’s microbiome, although the application of probiotics to the skin is still being explored and researched.

The only study so far dealing with Bifidobacterium and skin health was done in test-tubes as well as on volunteers. It claims that applying a Bifidobacterium lysate extract reduces skin sensitivity and increases skin resistance to harmful stimuli. That sounds very promising, but most likely has nothing to do with the alleged DNA repair activity.
