Whether it’s ‘maskne’, irritated, inflamed, or dry skin, the essential and prolonged wearing of face masks has given our skin yet another battle to tackle.
As we breathe under our face mask, the warm and humid air between the skin and the mask creates the perfect breeding ground for bad bacteria to grow. Together with the build-up of stale sweat, sebum, dirt, and dead skin cells, skin becomes inflamed and clogged over time, leading to the formation of pimples, breakouts, also known as maskne. Even with a comfortable fit, the continual chaffing action of the face mask against the skin can cause irritation and redness, compromising the skin’s natural protective barrier.
While wearing face masks is part of the new normal, maskne doesn’t have to be. The new Bio-essence Bio-Water Biome range helps restore your skin’s protective barrier to ensure you can wear face masks, maskne-free!
Supercharged by Probiotics and Prebiotics, the clinically formulated range promotes the growth of good bacteria on the skin, working to bring balance back to the skin’s microbiome. A healthy microbiome strengthens skin defence against external aggressors, soothes irritation and discomfort, and repairs impaired barrier function – the perfect combination to combat maskne and calm skin after long hours of wearing face masks.
Promote the Growth of Good Bacteria for Healthy, Smooth Skin
No matter which cosmetics brand you use, you can always double down on skin defence and fortify your skin with Bio-essence Bio-Water Biome range, featuring the dynamic duo of Probiotics and Prebiotics in each formulation to combat maskne, sensitivity, and eczema-prone skin.

- Creating a protective shield by preventing microorganisms from provoking an immune reaction, which can lead to skin inflammation
- Fighting bad bacteria
- Boosting skin’s defence against external aggressors
Prebiotics: A non-digestible fibre that supports the vitality of good bacteria on your skin by:
- Acting as a food source for the good bacteria on skin
