When the natural balance is disrupted
Influencing factors
- UV radiation, stress, hormones and other external and internal factors can put a strain on the skin barrier and microbiome.
- An impaired skin barrier can increase transepidermal water loss (TEWL), making the skin drier and more sensitive.
- Changes in the composition and function of the skin microbiome can be associated with inflammatory processes and skin concerns such as acne.
Possible consequences
- Less stable barrier function: Dryness, feelings of tightness and increased sensitivity
- Altered microbial balance: The skin’s natural homeostasis may be impaired


Strong skin begins with an intact skin barrier.
The outermost layer of the skin and the microbiome work together to form the skin’s natural protective function.
The stratum corneum protects the skin from moisture loss and external influences. Its lipid matrix consists primarily of ceramides, cholesterol and free fatty acids.
At the same time, the microbiome supports the skin’s balance and barrier function.
Our fermented active ingredients target these very functions: They support the skin’s natural processes and help maintain its resilience.


The gut-skin axis
The gut microbiome is in constant communication with the immune system and can influence the skin through various signaling pathways. Changes in the microbial balance have been associated with different skin conditions.
Diet and lifestyle play an important role in this: A diverse, fiber-rich diet can support the diversity and function of the gut microbiome. Pre-, pro- and postbiotics are also being studied for their potential to specifically influence the microbiome.
Supporting the skin from within and from the outside therefore means taking a holistic approach to its natural protective mechanisms.

FAQs
What makes Dr. Niedermaier’s fermented skincare special?
The Fermented Skincare line is based on 20% fermented Regulatessenz® – an elixir made from 17 natural ingredients such as artichokes, pomegranate, dates, mung bean sprouts and coconut. Through a patented fermentation process, the released bioactive micronutrients can penetrate particularly deeply into the skin. This means the skincare not only supports the skin’s surface, but also promotes regeneration at deeper levels – holistically and naturally. Each skincare cream is additionally enriched with high-quality organic oils and active ingredients with scientifically studied efficacy. As a system-based skincare range, all products differ in their mechanisms of action and textures while being perfectly coordinated with one another.
Warum ist fermentierte Kosmetik so effektiv?
Fermentation breaks down active ingredients into smaller molecules. This allows them to penetrate the skin more effectively and exert their effects. Fermented Skincare harnesses the full biological spectrum of fermented plant-based ingredients – supporting enhanced absorption, naturally strengthening the microbiome and promoting deep regeneration of the skin barrier.
What exactly is the skin microbiome?
The skin microbiome is located on the outermost layer of the skin, the stratum corneum, also known as the horny layer. It consists of a natural protective film made up of beneficial bacteria, viruses and fungi. Together with the stratum corneum, it forms the skin barrier – our first line of defense against external influences such as pollutants, pathogens and free radicals.
For which skin types is fermented skincare suitable?
The line was developed for all skin types – including sensitive, mature, or stressed skin. Thanks to pre- and postbiotic active ingredients, it helps strengthen the natural balance of the skin microbiome.
Kann ich die Produkte morgens und abends verwenden?
