- Function: Moisturizing, antioxidant, skin barrier support, and evening skin tone
- Research: Studies show ferment lysates improve skin hydration and reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL)
- Note: Same core active used in Lancôme Advanced Génifique (sister brand under L'Oréal)

- Source: 100% natural, biodegradable, and renewably produced in France since 1994
Triple Hyaluronic Acid Complex <1%Proven
Three forms of Hyaluronic Acid for multi-depth hydration: Sodium Hyaluronate (high MW, surface hydration), Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid (low MW, deeper penetration), and pure Hyaluronic Acid.
- Sodium Hyaluronate: High-molecular-weight HA for surface hydration and skin barrier protection
- Hydrolyzed HA: Smaller molecules penetrate deeper for plumping and anti-wrinkle effects
- Pure HA: Additional hydration support and moisture retention
Ascorbyl Glucoside (Vitamin C) <1%Proven
A stable, water-soluble derivative of Vitamin C. It converts to active ascorbic acid on the skin, offering brightening and antioxidant benefits with better stability than pure Vitamin C.

Budget-friendly alternatives (dupes)
DUPESSame parent company (L'Oréal). Shares 22 common ingredients including Bifida Ferment Lysate as the hero active. Adds Lactobacillus for additional probiotic benefits. More widely available but similarly priced.
Also from L'Oréal group. Features dual Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin B5 instead of fermented actives. Fragrance-free and more affordable. Lacks the probiotic regeneration angle but excels at pure hydration.
Another L'Oréal sibling. Focused on Hyaluronic Acid and Vichy Mineralizing Water. Simpler formula without ferments or Vitamin C. Excellent budget hydrator but lacks the anti-aging and regenerating depth of Life Plankton.
Contains Bifida Ferment Lysate in its formula at a lower concentration. A fraction of the price but with simpler supporting ingredients. Good entry point to ferment-based skincare on a tight budget.

Frequently asked questions
FAQThe formula does not contain retinoids, hydroquinone, or chemical sunscreens — the most commonly flagged ingredients during pregnancy. However, it does include Alcohol Denat. and Parfum (fragrance), which some healthcare providers may advise avoiding. We recommend consulting your OB-GYN or dermatologist before incorporating this serum into your pregnancy or breastfeeding skincare routine.
No, this serum is not considered fungal acne safe. It contains Bifida Ferment Lysate (a fermented ingredient), Octyldodecanol (a fatty alcohol), and PEG-20 Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate (an ester) — all of which are ingredient classes known to potentially feed Malassezia yeast. If you have fungal acne, consider alternatives like Vichy Minéral 89 or a simple Hyaluronic Acid serum without ferments.
Yes! The Life Plankton Elixir is designed as a foundational first-step serum and layers well under other active treatments. Apply this elixir first after cleansing/toning, then follow with your retinol, Vitamin C, or chemical exfoliant. The soothing properties of Life Plankton may even help buffer potential irritation from stronger actives. If you're using multiple actives, introduce them gradually to avoid overwhelming your skin.
This serum is formulated for all skin types and is especially well-suited for combination, oily, and normal skin due to its lightweight, fast-absorbing texture with a matte finish. Dry skin types will benefit from the Hyaluronic Acid hydration but should pair it with a richer moisturizer. It's also dermatologically tested for sensitive skin and safe to use around the eye area.
According to Biotherm's clinical testing and user reports, immediate hydration and soothing effects are noticeable from the first application. Within 8 days, skin texture feels up to 75% smoother and the complexion appears 52% more radiant. After 28 days of consistent use, users report improvements in 10 signs of aging including fine lines, firmness, evenness, and clarity. For best results, use twice daily (AM and PM) as directed.
Apply the Life Plankton Elixir as step 3 in your routine: after cleansing and toning, but before your treatment serums and moisturizer. It serves as a "step 0" booster serum that preps the skin and enhances the absorption of products applied afterward. In the morning, always finish with sunscreen. It can also be applied around the eye area.
No. The Life Plankton Elixir is officially non-comedogenic and has been dermatologically tested. Independent ingredient analysis (WIMJ) found zero comedogenic ingredients in the formula. It has a comedogenic rating of approximately 1 out of 5. However, as with any skincare product, individual reactions vary — if you have very acne-prone skin, we recommend patch testing first.
The Period After Opening (PAO) is 12 months. Once opened, use within one year for optimal efficacy and freshness. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. With recommended usage of 3–4 drops twice daily, the 30ml bottle typically lasts approximately 2–3 months, the 50ml lasts 3–5 months, and the 75ml lasts 5–7 months.
Verdict: The Biotherm Life Plankton Elixir is a well-formulated, clinically backed anti-aging serum that delivers noticeable hydration and radiance improvements within the first week. Its probiotic-rich formula featuring 5% Life Plankton, triple Hyaluronic Acid, and stable Vitamin C makes it a strong all-rounder for most skin types — particularly combination, oily, and mature skin. The lightweight texture, elegant packaging, and eco-conscious design add to its appeal. However, the premium price tag, presence of Alcohol Denat., added fragrance, and incompatibility with fungal acne keep it from a perfect score. If you are looking for a luxurious first-step serum that boosts your entire routine, the Life Plankton Elixir is an excellent choice — just be aware of the limitations and consider budget-friendly alternatives from the same L'Oréal family if price is a concern.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

EU Allergen-Free
EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
