A scientific overview of the acid mantle’s role in barrier integrity, microbiome balance, and enzymatic function — and the formulation principles that keep it intact.
Classic vitamin C serums rely on L-ascorbic acid at low pH to remain soluble, while peptides require near-neutral conditions to preserve structure and function. This fundamental chemical mismatch means that...
A report from the OUMERE Laboratory examining regulatory risk, biological mechanisms of injury, and why “controlled wounding” is incompatible with skin health.
Scar tape and silicone sheets are trending, but their popularity reflects how misunderstood wound healing remains
OUMERE has upgraded to a new, Brazil-sourced Suma extract for the latest edition of The Eye Serum.
Chronic, low-grade skin inflammation from modern stressors: pollution, lifestyle strain, and over-processed routines—quietly elevates irritation load and accelerates visible aging. A barrier-first, anti-inflammation model offers a more durable path to...
Most guides teach you how to “layer” retinol with Vitamin C and hyaluronic acid. Biology shows why that approach often fails. In this analysis from the OUMERE laboratory, cellular biologist...
Its a skincare common practice to pursue “glow” by pushing skin into perpetual emergency through the use of harsh acids and peels, unstable vitamin C, retinoids, aggressive surfactants. This method...
Exosomes are real biology—just not cosmetic magic. Here’s why stability, origin, QC, delivery, and regulation make “exosome serums” a risky fad.
Most anti-aging products rely on daily acids or retinoids that can cause irritation, barrier thinning, and long-term collagen loss. At OUMERE, our research focuses on a different mechanism: protecting the...
OUMERE's surge in demand is indicative of a psychological tipping point in the luxury skincare market.
OUMERE supports the skin microbiome by working with biology, not against it. No probiotics, no fillers—just a scientific system where every product serves a purpose.
What people mistake for a plateau is often the result of long-term damage—barrier erosion, inflammation, and overexposure to poorly formulated products disguised as progress.
What our lab observed on human skin samples—and the precise OUMERE protocol to restore equilibrium.
Topical retinoids influence keratinocyte turnover and dermal signaling. Outcomes hinge on concentration, vehicle, frequency, and sun behavior
