The skin is the body’s largest organ, hosting around 1,000 species of live bacteria, which form a finely balanced ecosystem known as the microbiome. A balanced microbiome is critical in maintaining blemish-free skin, as it defends against allergens, free radicals, pollutants, and photo-ageing – all things that can lead to congestion, redness, irritation, and skin conditions like acne, rosacea, and eczema.

An imbalance in the microbiome – an overgrowth of bad bacteria – causes a host of problematic skin conditions. That’s where probiotic science can help. Kalibiome probiotics are clinically proven to help reduce the appearance of blemishes. Globally awarded scientists created Kalibiome, a unique strain of non-live probiotics (or ‘postbiotics’), from a small number of Lactobacilli, which are put through a patented double-fermentation process to remove any bad bacteria and toxins, making it the ideal solution for blemished and irritated skin.

This revolutionary probiotic technology isn’t just scientifically proven, it’s also globally awarded, having won Best Innovation for Microbiome Care by the IFSCC (International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists).

Antipodes’ Anti-Blemish range includes this prize-winning probiotic, which promises transformative results for blemished and troubled skin.

Probiotics are live bacteria. Postbiotics are special forms of ‘non-live’ probiotics, bio-fermented for use in probiotic skincare. It’s not whether probiotics are ‘live’ that makes them effective. What makes them effective is their ability to release active substances.

Credo Probiotic Anti-Blemish Serum is a stable, ‘ready to use’ solution (with no extra mixing required at point of use). The probiotic in Credo has a higher safety profile than ‘live’ probiotics, while also stronger and more targeted, to directly get to the issue that is causing blemishes.^†

A major negative of ‘live’ probiotics is that they require many conditions to be met before they can properly produce their postbiotics on the skin. Therefore, they may not produce the postbiotics in sufficient amounts to give any benefits.

Even if they were to produce them, the amount of beneficial actives they can make is limited, 
compared to the highly concentrated actives that Kalibiome probiotic contains, which are delivered directly to the skin.

The result: Kalibiome has far superior efficacy and efficiency.

Antipodes’ three-step probiotic range promises transformative results for blemished skin. The secret: groundbreaking Kalibiome probiotics, which are scientifically proven* to help balance the skin’s precious microbiome, which in turn calms blemishes, redness, and irritation.

Why are probiotics crucial to clear skin? Blemishes and inflammatory skin conditions such as acne and eczema have one thing in common: they are made worse by a bacterial imbalance on the skin. Probiotics restore 
that balance.

Prolonged use of chemical compounds such as salicylic acid is too harsh for blemished skin and can worsen the issue, aggravating irritation and increasing redness and dryness. They are also not recommended for long-term use during pregnancy. But the main issue with salicylic acid skincare is that it may treat the symptoms but doesn’t necessarily address the root cause.

Chemicals such as salicylic acid strip your skin of both good and bad bacteria, as well as the natural oils it needs for a healthy skin barrier. In contrast, the probiotic science in Antipodes’ Anti-Blemish range restores balance to your skin’s microbiome, which strengthens the skin barrier, reduces inflammation, and fosters calm, clear skin.

The Anti-Blemish range also features botanical concentrates that help your skin return to its most natural state: balanced, hydrated, and healthy. These include fermented bamboo and kombucha – which promote regeneration and repair, making them ideal for skin prone to breakouts – and plant hyaluronic acid, to provide soothing hydration and unveil your best-looking skin.
