inbalance

Inflammaging is a term that combines "inflammation" and "aging" to describe a chronic, low-grade inflammation that occurs on the skin and can accelerate visible signs of aging.

When left unchecked, inflammaging leads to wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and uneven skin tone. It is often triggered by environmental stressors, UV exposure, pollution, and internal factors like stress and an unhealthy lifestyle. Over time, inflammaging weakens the skin’s natural defenses and can impair its ability to repair itself, making it more susceptible to environmental damage and resulting in visible signs of aging.

Controlling inflammaging is key to preserving youthful, healthy skin.

Inflammaging can show up as

1. Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Inflammaging accelerates the breakdown of collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for skin’s firmness and elasticity. This results in the early formation of fine lines and deeper wrinkles.

2. Loss of Elasticity and Sagging: The gradual weakening of collagen and elastin also leads to skin sagging and a loss of resilience. The skin may start to appear thinner or less supple.

3. Dryness and Dehydration: Low-grade inflammation compromises the skin’s moisture barrier, making it harder for the skin to retain hydration. This can lead to chronic dryness or dehydration, leaving the skin feeling tight, rough, or flaky.

4. Dullness: Persistent inflammation reduces the skin’s ability to regenerate new, healthy cells. This can result in a dull, tired-looking complexion.

5. Uneven Skin Tone and Hyperpigmentation: Inflammaging can cause melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) to become overactive, leading to uneven skin tone, dark spots, or patches of hyperpigmentation.

6. Redness and Sensitivity: Low-grade inflammation can make the skin more reactive, resulting in persistent redness, irritation, or heightened sensitivity.

Inflammaging accelerates the aging of the skin tissue by degrading elastin and collagen. Ongoing inflammation weakens skin resilience, making it more vulnerable to external stressors and reducing its ability to repair. Over time, inflammaging can lead to premature wrinkles, dullness, loss of firmness, and an overall increase in skin sensitivity. Long-term, these signs accumulate, causing the skin to look less youthful and vibrant.

Absolutely! People with all skin types including oily skin may be experiencing dehydration. In the case of oily skin, dehydration can lead to an overproduction of oil as the skin tries to compensate for the lack of hydration. Upon using inbalance, your skin will get lightweight hydration without feeling heavy or greasy, and eventually help your skin balance it’s natural oil production.

Yes, inbalance contains powerful antibacterial ingredients like Honokiol and Apple Extract that work to minimize acne-causing bacteria while soothing inflammation. This keeps your skin balanced and reduces the likelihood of breakouts without compromising hydration.

inbalance can safely and suitably be combined with all active ingredients. It’s, in fact, recommended to use inbalance with other active ingredients to proactively protect your skin barrier against damage or irritation as it is fortified with soothing and calming ingredients. The gentle formula won’t interfere with the effectiveness of other products, making it a great addition to your existing skincare routine.

However, if you have a damaged skin barrier, we recommend using inbalance in addition to a barrier-building moisturizer like IMD to repair your skin barrier before including actives in your routine again.

While hypochlorous acid offers antimicrobial properties, it often depletes vital antioxidants that are essential for your skin health, and therefore gets super tricky to layer it with any other serums or moisturisers in your routine. It can also be a little drying for some skin types.

In contrast, inbalance contains the star Honokiol ingredient which we carefully selected because it combines powerful anti-bacterial properties and also extends antioxidant protection on the skin. Hinoki Water and Pyrus Malus Extract also provide similar antibacterial support in a gentler, hydrating formula.

However, do keep in mind that in direct comparison to hypochlorous acid, inbalance is only moderately geared towards anti-bacterial protection, but that’s also what makes it gentle enough for everyday use.

Yes, inbalance can be safely used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. All ingredients used in inbalance are under clinically recommended doses and therefore, safe and effective on the skin.

inbalance works well as a first step after cleansing. Simply spritz it and pat it onto your skin. Repeat if necessary. Follow it up with your favorite serums and moisturizers. It doesn’t interfere with the layering of other products.

You may also spritz inbalance throughout the day as and when needed for a quick skin hydration refresh.

While inbalance is nourishing enough to act as a quick “in-between” step, it’s not meant to replace your entire routine.

Think of it as your skin’s standby guard—it offers a balanced dose of hydration, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant protection until you’re ready for a full skincare routine, perfect for those lazy mornings or midday refreshes.
