SKOON. HAPPY FLORA Microbiome Balancing Face Cream is a nourishing moisturiser formulated with pre/probiotics, Swiss yoghurt, Kigelia africana, and baobab oil. It helps support skin barrier function, balance the skin microbiome, and calm sensitivity and dryness.
This nourishing cream effectively calms sensitivity and restores moisture using prebiotics and indigenous botanicals, though the natural vanilla scent may not suit everyone. It provides reliable barrier support for reactive complexions, albeit at a slightly premium price point.
SKOON. HAPPY FLORA Microbiome Balancing Face Cream delivers targeted comfort and moisture restoration for reactive, dehydrated complexions. Formulated around a microbiome-focused blend of Swiss yoghurt and pre/probiotics, this moisturiser works to support the bacterial balance essential for healthy skin function. Key botanical ingredients, including Kigelia africana and rich baobab oil, help strengthen the skin barrier while actively calming redness, dryness, and general sensitivity. The cream provides effective hydration that settles stressed complexions down rather than simply providing surface moisture. It features a light natural vanilla scent rounding out the application experience, though this natural aroma may not appeal to every user. At R477.99, it sits at a slightly premium price point, but its performance in restoring barrier balance and soothing reactive skin makes it a dependable choice for daily sensitive skin care.
