Bifidobacterium-strain fermentation lysate. Hero ingredient in Estée Lauder's Advanced Night Repair lineage.
What it does
Bifida ferment lysate is the fermentation product of Bifidobacterium, a probiotic strain native to the gut. Topical formulations carry small studies suggesting barrier-recovery support after UV stress. The most famous use is in Estée Lauder's Advanced Night Repair, which made bifida ferment a recognizable ingredient in mid-priced K-beauty and Western dupe-positioned serums.

Adding more steps does not equal more efficacy.Draelos 2018 · Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology ↗
