version HA and it also has better sun protection and after-sun repair abilities than the higher MW versions. This means, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 does have some ability to smooth wrinkles (but not as well as Botox - sorry, if we sound like a broken record). Staying on top of the skin better and longer means longer-lasting surface hydration and improved elasticity.

If you like the silky feel of Estée Lauder serum, you may be a little confused by the ma:nyo which is maybe just a little less nicer to use. Hello, our favorite molecule that helps us wake up in the morning and then keeps us going through the day.

some of the product’s claims are a bit odd (such as “cell purification”, for example, which doesn’t really mean anything). My detailed review of the Bifida Complex Ampoule from the Korean brand ma:nyo (ex Manyo Factory), and also, is it the dupe of the famous Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair serum? Formulated with 90% bifidobacteria and lactobacilli enzymes, these powerhouse ingredients promote the regeneration process to improve skin immunity and barrier, intensively moisturizes the skin, and accelerates collagen production. To ensure products are suitable for various skin types, the brand incorporates only essential ingredients that are beneficial to skin. The lysate is a fluid substance that is produced when you break down the cell membrane, which means it contains interesting things including cytoplasm and cell wall fragments.

types of probiotics, just for your skin surface: A combination of Bifida biome and probiotics complex offers you an even greater effect of skin surface enhancement.

In-vitro (made in the lab) studies also show that Asiaticoside stimulates GAGs (glycosaminoglycans - polysaccharides that are part of the liquidy stuff between our skin cells) production as well as collagen I synthesis.

We also checked Prospector for sodium hyaluronate versions actually used in cosmetic products and found that the most common molecular weight was 1. Also, it contains Niacinamide that promotes the stimulation of collagen synthesis and improves the protective barrier of the skin, helps to reduce transepidermal moisture loss and eliminate hyperpigmentation, moisturizes, tightens pores, soothes, brightens. So I guess it all depends on everyone’s priorities, but for me anyway, the ma:nyo Bifida Complex Ampoule serum is not really just a dupe of the ANR, it’s much better! But the big difference is that the ma:nyo serum contains other beneficial ingredients (niacinamide especially, but also adenosine and quite a few antioxidant ingredients), all in a relatively short formula compared to the ANR and without purely cosmetic additives as you can find in the Estée Lauder serum (in the ma:nyo, there are no silicones, nor colorants in particular). A glycerin-derived gentle cleansing agent that is described as being skin and eye-friendly, and not leaving the skin dry or tight.The modified molecule is claimed to have even better moisture retention ability than normal HA and better affinity to the skin surface. Formulated with Bifida Biome™ and 5 types of probiotics that helps create an intact skin barrier to protect skin from external aggressors. The ma:nyo Bifida Complex Ampoule, like all products of the ma:nyo Bifida Biome series, strengthens the natural skin barrier with a high proportion (90% ) of the "Bifida Biome Complex".
