Our Unique Science Repairs Sun Damaged Skin

Melasma is the price we may pay for al fresco lunches in Italy. Fine lines are the gift we receive for long walks on the beach. We spend so much time and resources perfecting our skin, it can feel discouraging how fast it can unravel after just a few summer weeks enjoying the outdoors. We shouldn’t trade these moments for anything because it is evidence of a life well lived. But, can’t we have it all: good skin and good times? With Editrix, the answer is yes. 

The magic in our formulas lies in our proprietary postbiotics derived from beneficial human skin bacteria. These postbiotics have such profound multitasking benefits to skin health and beauty, to call them magical would not be hyperbole. 

 

What does the Editrix strain of beneficial bacteria (Staphylococcus epidermidis) exactly do to repair your sun damaged skin?

These beneficial bacteria release enzymes that help shed the dead layer of skin and renew the stratum corneum (outer layer of skin). It also creates a protective biofilm that guards against environmental stressors and solar damage. Additionally, it supports the production of sebum and free fatty acids, which regulate skin pH. If you’ve been following Editrix, you know that a low skin pH is vital for skin to function properly. 

Staphylococcus epidermidis (1) generates electrons that neutralize reactive oxygen species (ROS), which lead to cellular damage. ROS are reactive molecules that contribute to skin aging, wrinkling, inflammation, and various skin diseases. These harmful molecules are produced when oxygen reacts to air pollutants and UV rays

Staphylococcus epidermidis (2) contributes to the skin barrier integrity by secreting an enzyme that acquires essential nutrients for the bacteria and helps us produce natural ceramides. Ceramides are a major component to our protective skin barrier that combats skin dehydration and aging.

 

 

What is the Editrix sun repair protocol?

The Editrix sun repair protocol involves a trio of Editrix products that work together to brightening the skin. Our sprayable treatment serum, Superare Microflora Barrier Film, and our therapeutic serum, Bakterium Delirium, both contain postbiotics from our proprietary strain of Staphlycoccus epidermidis, which is also a key component in our Biodiversity Broth™. 

We recommend using Superare and Bakterium Delirium together  2-3 times a day (or more frequently for severe damage) to amplify the effect. 

Superare

Microflora Barrier Film

A zero water, concentrated elixir that strengthens the microbiome, restores the barrier, and promotes luminosity.

• Minimizes Melasma - Reduces hyperpigmentation and evens out skin tone.
• Regenerates Skin - Boosts collagen production and cell turnover to reveal new skin.
• Repairs the Microbiome and Skin Barrier - Lowers skin pH to youthful levels to support the acid mantle so skin is hydrated and dewy for a healthy glow.
• Brightens - Uses proven hero ingredients such as Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Galactomyces and Rice Water to brighten skin. 

Bakterium Delirium

Pre + Postbiotic Therapy Serum

A multitasker designed for repairing skin, reducing signs of aging, regenerating collagen, and optimizing the microbiome.

• Brightens Skin Tone – Reduces hyperpigmentation for a more even complexion.
• Enhances Natural Glow – Boosts radiance through microbiome optimization.
• Improves Luminosity – Visibly brightens and revitalizes the skin using Vitamin C and proprietary ferments.

 

 

To rapidly enhance these hardworking formulas, we introduce The Microneedle for a once a week treatment (for a 6-week consecutive cycle) to get the full impact of the glow up.

The Microneedle

Luminosity Boosting Regeneration Therapy

A collagen-boosting therapy that uses precision microneedles and a vitamin-rich serum to rejuvenate and brighten the skin.

• Boost Radiance – Delivers stable Vitamin C, Niacinamide and Rice Water for a brighter complexion.
• Reduce Pigmentation – Fades dark spots and uneven skin tone.
• Enhance Glow – Stimulates collagen production for luminous, healthier skin.

 

When skin feels like it’s made a full pre-sun recovery, you can maintain the results by continuing to use the serums morning and evening only. The Microneedle can be used every week continuously or in 6 week intervals with a 2 month break in between.
