The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate and The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate Cream

I bet you heard that once you turn 25, your skin starts to age because it's a year collagen starts to decrease. The aging process is inevitable, but we can slow it down. The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics line is supposed to help with aging and wrinkles, but at the same time, it's focused on the skin microbiome to maintain a healthy skin barrier. Thanks to Jee & Ju, I was able to try The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate and The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate Cream. Is this an ideal line for your skin? 

About The Pure Lotus 

The Pure Lotus is a K-beauty brand which I know because of the beautiful packaging. The brand is focused on Lotus from Jeju, an island which is an inspiration and source of ingredients for many companies. And it's not only about skincare! The Pure Lotus has a Cosmetic Cert Jeju certification which tells you that the products made by the brand are from Jeju. They also obtained EU certification which is something I barely see in K-beauty. EU law in my opinion is quite strict if it comes to the skincare and food industry (you're hearing that from a person who had to study both). The main star of The Pure Lotus products is the White Lotus Leaf. The Pure Lotus is a vegan-friendly brand. It's also important to add that the brand is not only focused on skin or hair, but The Pure Lotus has its own inner beauty line. Thankfully, the brand doesn't sell supplements, but tea!  

It's not my first journey with The Pure Lotus, I've tried this brand before, but the Youth Biotics series looks completely different from the previous series. It looks more majestic.

Why Lotus?  

Lotus is a source of antioxidants. It's rich in flavonoids and polysaccharides. It's also important to add that Lotus has anti-aging properties. The lotus used in The Pure Lotus products is obtained from Jeju Island - a pure island also known as the island of the Gods. Jeju is one of the Unesco World Heritage Sites.

The bottle of The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate is made out of glass.

The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate - Texture & Scent  

I'm not sure what are your expectations when you see concentrate in the name of the product, but The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate is like a lightweight cream or creamy serum. It has a delicate, pleasant scent. Maybe a bit like some citrus, but it's hard to describe it.

Water hides in cosmetic products under names such as Aqua or Eau. It's a solvent, but it's not your regular drinking water. Water in skin care needs to fit some standards. It should be clean and free from minerals, microorganisms or other substances. Usually, water makes up the majority of the content of the product. Propanediol is also known as natural glycol - an alternative to propylene glycol. Propanediol is a solvent with additional moisturizing properties. It makes the product smooth to the touch. It can even improve the effectiveness of active ingredients. Polyglycerin-3 is a humectant since this ingredient is made out of glycerin molecules. It helps promote active ingredients deeper. Nelumbo Nucifera Leaf Extract (34,490 ppm) or Lotus Leaf Extract is an antioxidant with anti-aging properties. Glycerin or Glycerol is a humectant. Its origin can be natural or synthetic - depending on the product. It protects TEWL (transepidermal water loss) and naturally occurs in the skin. It's one of the NMFs - natural moisturizing factors. It's practical in hair care. Glycerin won't clog your skin or irritate it just the opposite - it protects your skin from irritation. Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil is an emollient and a source of vitamin E. The structure of jojoba oil is very similar to human sebum, that's why all skin types shouldn't be scared of this oil. It creates a delicate, non-oily film barrier on the surface of the skin. It helps to restore your hydrolipid barrier. Jojoba oil can be applied straight onto the skin. In hair care, jojoba oil makes hair stronger and hydrated. PS. Jojoba oil isn't an oil, but a waxy ester. 1,2-Hexanediol is a synthetic solvent and preservative - it protects products from microorganisms by boosting other preservatives. At the same time, it can moisturize the skin, and it has no unpleasant effects on your epidermis. Olivem 1000 is a combination of Cetearyl Olivate and Sorbitan Olivate. It's a natural emulsifier, and beauty companies use it to create an oil-in-water emulsion. Worth mentioning it's a biodegradable formula. Squalane is an ingredient very similar to our sebum. Squalane and squalene sound similar, but there's a difference. Squalane has no double bonds while squalene has double bonds. What does it mean? Squalane is a more stable version of squalene. What I love about this ingredient is how well it works with all skin types, and how our skin needs it. Believe me, if your skin is irritated - go for squalane! This ingredient is usually derived from sugarcane or olives. It acts like an emollient and you need it in your life.

How does The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate work?  

The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate is the first concentrate I've ever tried. I wasn't sure what's the idea behind this product. The short description of this product sounds like this: Moisture essence containing Jeju lotus fermented water. If this product is an essence then it's a thicker essence than I've ever tried because it reminds me of a lightweight cream.   

The magic ingredient in this product is Jeju Lotus Fermented Water. It takes 168 hours - 7 days to create this ingredient. It contains 34,490 ppm of Lotus Leaf Extract. The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate contains 8 probiotics & calming complex. The product is not only supposed to strengthen the skin barrier, but also moisturize the skin, and help with inflammation and wrinkles. The 8 probiotics & calming complex contains lactobacillus ferment, galactomyces ferment filtrate, bifida ferment filtrate, panthenol, alantoin, artemisia capillaris extract, centella asiatica extract and camellia sinensis leaf water.  

Forget the details, I bet you wonder how to use The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate. I see that it's still difficult for many people where to put certain products in a routine and how to use them. Some products like VT Reedle Shot or The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate are problematic since we don't see them often. Lots of people use skincare products in order from lighter to the thickest texture and I also did that. I used this product right after the serum and before The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate Cream. The formula is lightweight and creamy, but it has a rich feeling too - you can easily feel how moisturizing this texture is while spreading. It's easy to apply, and The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate blend with skin easily. It doesn't sensitize the skin, it works with retinol, and the delicate scent is very satisfying. It might not work with every sunscreen, but my experience was good.   

I honestly don't know what to tell you. I didn't expect miracles, and if it comes to moisturizing then The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate was an ideal moisturizer for winter time.

In the beauty industry, it's an emollient. Many people associate alcohol with something awful for the epidermis, but not every alcohol is nasty. Cetearyl alcohol leaves a moisturizing film on the skin to prevent your skin from transepidermal water loss (TEWL). We use Cetearyl alcohol to create an emulsion. Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter is a butter obtained from seeds of the Vitellaria paradoxa tree - a tree typical for Africa. It's an emollient rich in antioxidants like vitamin E or vitamin A. It's a source of oleic acid, stearic acid and linoleic acid. Shea butter is a well-moisturizing emollient that leaves a fine film on the skin and hair to protect from dehydration. It has soothing properties, and it might provide sun protection around SPF 2-4 (still, use proper sun-protecting agents instead of oils and butter for your safety). This ingredient is an excellent choice for dry skin and psoriasis. Shea butter hydrates hair and helps them look shinier. It's good to choose certified shea butter from a trusted source.

How does The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate Cream work?  

The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate Cream is based on similar technologies as the serum from this series. The magic ingredient in this product is Jeju Lotus Fermented Water. It takes 168 hours - 7 days to create this ingredient. The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate contains 8 probiotics & calming complex. The product is not only supposed to strengthen the skin barrier, but also moisturize the skin, and help with inflammation and wrinkles. The 8 probiotics & calming complex contains lactobacillus ferment, galactomyces ferment filtrate, bifida ferment filtrate, panthenol, alantoin, artemisia capillaris extract, centella asiatica extract and camellia sinensis leaf water.  

The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate Cream has a thick formula which in my opinion is more suitable for dry skin than for my combo/oily skin. Still, during winter time when my skin gets easily dehydrated - it's a product I was using to strengthen my skin barrier since it's a combo of probiotics. Even if it contains Niacinamide, my skin somehow enjoyed this cream. It didn't cause me any redness. I'm not sure if the product normally comes with a spatula, but that would be useful. The cream has a pleasant smell. I would see myself repurchasing it for the winter season.

Where to buy and how much do The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate and The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate Cream cost?  

I got The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate and The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate Cream from Jee&Ju, I believe this set costs £68 on their website.   

Overall, it's a line I would invest in for wintertime, but now when it gets warmer, I'm changing my cream to concentrate, but once I'm out of it, I'll go for other, lightweight products.
