The skin
A LIVING interconnected system
THE LARGEST AND MOST EXPOSED ORGAN
The skin is the largest and most exposed organ of the human body, performing essential functions:
→ It acts as a barrier against harmful substances and microorganisms
→ It plays a role in immune defence,
→ It regulates water loss,
→ It controls body temperature,
→ It synthesises vitamin D,
→ It provides structural support,
→ It reflects overall health and plays a crucial role in self-esteem.
THE PIVOTAL ROLE OF SKIN MICROBIOME
The human microbiome is a diverse community of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses, with genetic material that outnumbers human DNA by about 100 to 1.
The skin, along with the gut, hosts some of the largest microbiomes, conditioning skin health and ageing.
The skin microbiome:
→ Maintains the skin barrier,
→ Prevents colonisation by harmful pathogens and infection,
→ Supports wound healing,
→ Modulates local immune and inflammatory responses,
→ Regulates skin pH,
→ Assists in nutrient production,
→ Maintain hydration.
The 'gut-skin axis'
The key relationship between the gut microbiome and the skin microbiome is known as the 'gut-skin axis'.
This connection demonstrates how maintaining a balanced gut microbiome can positively influence skin health and effectively combat ageing by supporting skin physiological functions, providing broad benefits.
The factors
The CONDITIONS for healthy, youthful skin
Both internal and external factors significantly impact the body’s microbiomes, leading to a cascade of changes that affect skin health and appearance.
→ Internal biological factors such as chronological age, genetics, and hormonal changes alter the skin microbiome, leading to reduced hyaluronan levels, lower collagen synthesis, and impaired elastin formation.
As the skin’s barrier weakens and its ability to repair slows, external environmental and lifestyle factors amplify these effects, accelerating visible ageing and further compromising the skin’s health and resilience:
→ UV exposure and pollution generate free radicals, disrupting the skin microbiome and damaging collagen, elastin, and the barrier. This leads to dryness, irritation, and accelerated ageing,
→ Lack of exercise reduces circulation, weakening collagen production and skin elasticity, while increasing stress and inflammation, impairing skin regeneration,
→ Lack of sleep and chronic stress raise cortisol and inflammation, slowing skin regeneration, reducing collagen, and weakening the skin barrier,
→ An unbalanced diet causes gut dysbiosis, leading to inflammation that reduces collagen, hyaluronan, hydration, and skin elasticity.
These changes disrupt the skin microbiome, impairing protection, moisture retention, and elasticity, while accelerating visible ageing.
How it works
Our SOLUTIONS
The Skin Method features four products engineered to harness the skin's natural physiological mechanisms.
It has been developed to fight the root causes of skin ageing and promote healthier skin—both from the inside out, and outside in—leveraging extensive expertise in both the internal and external factors affecting the skin.

The SKIN BIOTIC
A next-generation nutraceutical, The Skin Biotic features three proprietary probiotic strains combined with prebiotics and highly bioavailable vitamins.
Engineered to work in synergy with the body’s chemistry and biology, it enhances skin health and beauty from within by leveraging the ‘gut-skin axis’. It supports your microbiome, promoting deeply protected and regenerated skin from the inside out.
→ Supports skin microbiome (through metabolites)
→ Regulates inflammatory responses
→ Enhances skin barrier function
→ Increases ceramide production / moisturisation
→ Promotes lipid synthesis
→ Reduces water loss (TEWL)
→ Activates fibroblasts, boosts collagen synthesis, and promotes elastin production

The GENTLE CLEANSER
The Gentle Cleanser is an advanced cosmeceutical formula that effectively removes impurities and excess oil while preserving the skin’s natural balance and pH. Designed to protect, soothe inflammation, and provide hydration, it supports the skin microbiome, enhances resilience, and fortifies the skin’s natural defences. Like the rest of the range, it is particularly suited to sensitive skin. These benefits together ensure a calm, refreshed, and revitalised complexion.
→ Removes impurities
→ Empowers skin microbiome
→ Reinforces skin's lipid matrix
→ Preserves skin's natural pH
→ Soothes the epidermis

The POWER SERUM
The Power Serum is a potent blend of rejuvenating ingredients that penetrate deep into the skin to deliver intensive moisturisation and lifting effect, visibly reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
It promotes elasticity and firmness, while supporting the skin microbiome to reinforce natural defences and further fight signs of ageing.
The skin is calm, protected, and fortified, ensuring a revitalised and youthful complexion.
→ Stimulates cellular turnover and regenerates (all layers)
→ Increases fibroblast activity
→ Boosts collagen production
→ Protects cells from free radicals
→ Strengthens intercellular junctions

The ACTIVE CREAM
The Active Cream is a fast-absorbing, long-lasting biomimetic formula that deeply hydrates and protects the skin. It provides round-the-clock moisture, enhancing elasticity, firmness, and smoothness. Strengthening the skin's microbiome, it enhances natural defences, soothes inflammation, and fortifies the skin barrier for optimal structural support. The Active Cream ensures a revitalised, luminous glow, keeping the skin nourished, protected, and visibly healthy.
→ Reinforces the lipid barrier
→ Enhances stratum corneum turgor
→ Empowers skin microbiome
→ Stimulates fibroblasts (dermis)
→ Increases collagen and elastin production
→ Reduces dermal inflammation
→ Enhances dermal cell metabolism and protein synthesis
