Strength & Recovery Bio-Serum
Strength & Recovery Bio-Serum is formulated to soothe and repair stressed skin, while improving the appearance of hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone.
Infused with powerful antioxidants, the results are amplified by combining biotech actives, prebiotics and probiotic bio-ferments. This lightweight, brightening serum targets multiple cellular pathways to fade and prevent pigmentation, redness and discolouration.
The biomimetic formulation is free of essential oils to support a balanced microbiome and a stronger, more resilient skin barrier.

POETS ATELIER BIO-FERMENTS
Our plant and botanical extracts have gone through a custom probiotic transformation process of fermentation.
This fermentation process creates new bioactive components in by-products known as postbiotics. We ensure these postbiotics and bio-ferments in our formulations include the maximum concentration of micronutrients including:
- Vitamins
- Minerals
- Amino Acids
- Omega Fatty Acids
- Enzymes
- Peptides
KEY PROBIOTIC BIO-FERMENTS
Probiotic bio-fermented ingredients in topical skincare can offer multiple benefits over non-fermented plant extracts.
- Bio-Fermented Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola): Regenerative, wound-healing, skin-soothing, anti-blemish. Fermentation increases the concentration of triterpenoids and madecassoside, enhancing skin repair.
- Bio-Fermented Green Tea: Contains antioxidants that fight the effects of pollution and oxidative stress on the skin. Reduces the signs of sun damage such as hyperpigmentation. Fermentation amplifies anti-inflammatory and moisturising properties to soothe irritated skin.
- Bio-Fermented Pomegranate: Fermented pomegranate contains higher levels of polyphenols and alpha-punicic acid (omega 5), found exclusively in pomegranate seed to stimulate the skin's self-repair mechanisms. Pomegranate enzymes provide gentle exfoliation.
- Bio-Fermented Licorice Root: Skin-brightening & anti-inflammatory. Fermented Licorice Root enhances its ability to reduce hyperpigmentation and even out skin tone by inhibiting tyrosinase activity.
INGREDIENTS
In addition to our own probiotic bio-ferments, we have included biotech and nutrient rich actives to support the skin microbiome.
- 3% Diglucosyl Gallic Acid: This patented biotech molecule is a new generation antioxidant that is activated by the skin microbiome. It simultaneously targets 7 biological pathways to address the major causes of redness, pigmentation & discolouration. In a study, DGA was able to provide 4 times as much protection as vitamin C, the skin is up to 16 times lighter, has 150% less melanin, 18 times fewer UV spots.
- Inulin: A prebiotic, works to nourish the beneficial microbes on the skin. Acts as a booster for the effect of the Diglucosyl Gallic Acid which relies on microbiota for conversion
- 4% Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Improves skin tone and texture, anti-acne, stimulates production of ceramides in skin. 3-5% is the optimal concentration and clinically studied for desired effects, any higher can cause inflammation without additional benefits
- 1% Zinc Lactate: Reduces excess sebum production, helps repair skin cells, provides photo-protection & long term moisture
- Saccharide Isomerate: A biotech marine extract that uses moisture binding technology to provide deep hydration & barrier protection
- Polyglutamic Acid: A peptide that helps increase the production of natural moisturising factors in the skin
FULL INCI: Aqua, Anthemis Nobilis (Roman Chamomile) Flower Water, Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Water, Butylene Glycol, Niacinamide, Saccharide Isomerate, Diglucosyl Gallic Acid, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Oil, Lactobacillus/Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf/Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Fruit/Ferment Filtrate, Lactobacillus/Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola) Leaf Ferment Filtrate, Lactobacillus/Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Ferment Filtrate, Polyglutamic Acid, Zinc Lactate, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate, Polyglyceryl-3 Stearate, Caprylyl Glycol, Sodium Citrate, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Glycerin, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Inulin, Hydrogenated Lecithin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Glyceryl Caprylate, Potassium Hydroxide, Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate, Caprylhydroxamic acid
Our products were developed to be pregnancy safe. For medical advice about usage of specific ingredients, please consult with your medical practitioner.
We recommend patch testing on the inside of your wrist, especially if you have known allergies or sensitivities. If you are new to niacinamide, we recommend that you slowly build tolerance over time.

Strength & Recovery Bio-Serum
Results
Hydrated and Healthy
In understanding the structure of the skin, this serum uses a hydration process that helps to restore and balance the water content within skin cells and the surrounding lipids to its deepest layers.
We have used humectants and lipids that reduce the risk of dehydration and increase the skins natural moisturising factor. Orange Blossom and Chamomile Flower water are rich in flavonoids, terpenoids and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to calm skin and soothe irritation.
Extracted from soy beans, Polyglutamic Acid is a biotech peptide that acts as a powerful hydrator that forms a water-locking film over the skin. It can hold up to 4 x more moisture than hyaluronic acid.
4% Saccharide Isomerate is a plant derived, biotech marine extract, providing up to 72hrs hydration and restoration of skin barrier function. Unlike topical hyaluronic acid, it can’t be easily washed away.
PROCESS
FERMENTATION & DELIVERY SYSTEM
Our team of biochemists and scientists feed our plant extracts to strain-specific bacteria in a transformation process that allows us to create our own probiotic ferments, unique to our products with maximum bioactive compounds.
Enhanced Bioavailability: Bio-fermentation breaks down the complex molecules in plant extracts into smaller, more bioavailable forms. This process makes the active ingredients more easily absorbed and utilised by the skin, enhancing their efficacy.
Increased Potency: Probiotic fermentation can increase the concentration of beneficial compounds such as antioxidants, amino acids, and vitamins in the plant extracts. These compounds can have more potent effects on the skin, such as reducing inflammation, promoting collagen production, and protecting against environmental damage.
Improved Stability: Probiotic fermentation can enhance the stability of the active ingredients in skincare formulations. This means that the ingredients are less likely to degrade over time, maintaining their effectiveness.
Gentle on the Skin: Probiotic fermentation results in the production of by-products like peptides and enzymes that are more gentle on the skin. This can make bio-fermented skincare products suitable for people with sensitive skin or those prone to irritation.
- Emma D.Rated 5 out of 5 stars3 months agoreally happy with the Strength & Recovery Bio-Serum
my facialist talked me into giving this product a go (because it is on the spenny side) but she made a lot of really compelling points, especially that its 50ml versus the usual 30ml which means you really get to see how good the product is because it lasts so much longer. have been complimented that my skin looks much clearer/ less congested/ and more "glowing" (whatever that means lol). it has NO STICKINESS (a pet peeve), sinks in immediately, and hydrates my dehydrated skin leaving it v soft. here's to Poets Atelier! Cheer! Cheer!
- LilyVerified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars6 months agoLove!
Love this product! After using the face oil with the bio-serum my skin is absolutely glowing and so soft. It’s evened out my skin texture and replaced all the products in my skin routine. I now only need these two products making it so easy to consistently stick to a routine.
- ChloeRated 5 out of 5 stars8 months agoComforting
Love! This serum has been a welcome addition to my skincare routine. It is lightweight and completely soaks in without any stickiness left behind. I apply this in the morning then follow directly with sunscreen and the two work perfectly together. It hydrates my dehydrated sensitive skin and feels comforting. Also, love the luxurious weighted glass bottle!
- PhoebeRated 5 out of 5 stars8 months agoOne of the most exciting products I’ve tried in a while!
I’ve only been using this product for a little while now, but I’ve already noticed an improvement in both my active acne and marks from old spots. I have problematic skin (that can go from pretty decent to quite bad over the course of my cycle). I was drawn to the product in the hope it would help heal my microbiome to give me a bit of consistency and generally improved skin tone and texture. I really like that the serum replaces a few products in my lineup - it also goes on beautifully under skincare & makeup, whilst feeling really luxurious. I’m now really excited to keep using it to see what my results are over the long term!
