Are your professional skincare products actually driving change in the skin barrier, or just acting as a temporary fix?

It's an important question, and one that will be answered in-depth at The Skin Microbiome Symposium in Toronto on October 26.

For professionals working with dry, sensitive or barrier-compromised skin, supporting the barrier isn’t simply about adding moisture to the surface. It’s about helping skin better regulate and retain that moisture between applications.

Esse's newest addition, Barrier Rescue, is just one example.

Independent clinical testing in Bonn, Germany, measured a 10.7% reduction in transepidermal water loss (TEWL) over 28 days of use.

What’s especially meaningful is when the measurement was taken: at least 8 hours after the last application of Barrier Rescue.

Unlike conventional TEWL testing, which often measures water loss while a product is still present on the skin, this testing looked at the skin’s ability to retain moisture between applications.

The results show that Barrier Rescue supports the skin’s ability to function more effectively between applications, rather than simply creating a temporary barrier to prevent water loss.

This is the kind of science bringing thought leaders together at the Skin Microbiome Symposium for a full day focused on creating the conditions for a more diverse, resilient microbiome, including the latest research on live probiotics and their use in practice.

Pumpkin isn't just for pies and lattes! 🎃

There's still time to include Pumpkin Peel in your fall skin treatments.

🎃 When your skin just feels… meh.

Not necessarily problematic.
Not having a major breakout.
Just… not looking or feeling like itself.

Maybe your complexion looks a little:

• Dull
• Tired
• Uneven
• Rough
• Congested
• Lacking its usual glow

After months of sunshine, heat, sweat, sunscreen and environmental exposure, it’s not unusual for skin to need a little extra attention.

Sometimes you don’t need to completely overhaul your skincare routine.

You just need a reset.

That’s where a professional Pumpkin Peel can fit beautifully into your fall skincare routine. 🍂

A little exfoliation, a little renewal, and a little time to take care of yourself.

Pumpkin Peel | $80 regularly $88

Because fall is a pretty good time to give your skin—and yourself—a fresh start.

Take Time to Renew Yourself.

Apply moisturiser. Feel relief. Feel the dryness creep back within hours. Reapply. Repeat.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not doing anything wrong. Unfortunately, the majority of moisturisers were never built to fix this, only to mask it for a while.

It's a cycle that shows up differently depending on your skin and your circumstances. Winter heating. Low-sebum skin. Skin that's settled after a flare but never quite feels resilient. There may be different starting points, but the underlying issue is always a barrier that needs more than a temporary seal.
