Introduction & Overview |
Bioelements is located in Bolder Colorado, so it only seems fitting that this company would be dedicated to providing consumers with products that use natural plant extracts, trace minerals and essential oils when they can. They usually supply their products only to spas, but some of their products can now be found on some online websites. They have developed an anti-aging product line that includes Probotix Anti-aging Serum Intensive overnight treatment.
This product is a probiotic blend, which is purported to be able to nourish and revitalize the skin, “to help prevent wrinkles and loss of firmness”. This formulary is also suggested to be able to create “an environment within the skin that allows it to regain its natural microflora balance and become more age-resistant”. Let’s take a look at the actual elements used in this formula to see how effective it is.

| Ingredients at a Glance |
Probotix Anti-aging Serum may contain some of the following: Bifidus Ferment Lysate, Lactose and Milk Proteins.
|
| Ingredients in Focus |
Probotix Anti-aging Serum contains many naturally occurring elements such as Bifidus Ferment Lysate, which is derived from natural bifidus cultures. Some consumers may be aware of them already, because they are commonly found in yogurt and dietary supplements. They are lab-engineered to treat the skin, however, our research shows that at this point in time there is no known benefit that comes with applying it to skin.
Lactose is used in this product, because this developer believes that it can “stimulate skin cell functions, calm sensitive and irritated skin”, as well as “soften skin”. Many individuals may also be aware of this element, because lactose is actually a type of sugar found in milk proteins, which leads to our next topic - Milk Proteins.
Milk Proteins are proteins found in milk and milk products, and it is used for a variety of reasons in skin care products. However, one of the primary reasons is that it is extremely cooling, as well as having water-binding and emollient properties. This may well help hydrate and moisturize user’s skin, however, none of the elements discussed in this section have a potent ability to ease wrinkles or facial lines, or impede their development.

| Lifestyle |
As skin ages it starts to show signs of time, which can be highly disturbing to many of us. However, there are some viable options available, which can help reduce this development. We really liked that this products focuses on hydrating skin, but we just would have liked to seen this developer do it in a more effective manner.
For instance, Hyaluronic Acid is nearly unrivaled in hydrating skin, because of its ability to retain water more effectively than other substances. It is actually naturally occurring in the human body, and it is responsible for maintaining the elasticity of connective tissue and skin. However, over time its production begins to ebb, in a similar fashion as Collagen production, both of which result in the development of wrinkles. By using each of these elements, skin health can be strengthened and signs of skin aging can be significantly reduced.

| Positives |
• May be somewhat moisturizing and soothing to the skin
• Moderately priced
|
| Negatives |
• Does not contain Hyaluronic Acid
• Does not make use of the more potent skin revitalizing technologies available
|
| Final Thoughts |
Bioelements Probotix Anti-aging Serum uses a probotic formula, which many individuals actually use orally to ease digestive issues. However, this technology has not been shown to have the same positive affects when applied to the skin.
Hydration is one of the more effective avenues of persevering the youthfulness of skin, but only when the most effective technology is used, such as Hyaluronic Acid, which is second to none on the market. Also it is often combined with Real Collagen, which is needed to help maintain skins elasticity, as well as combat wrinkles.
