How B.LAB’s Biome Serum Supports the DEJ — Not Just the Epidermis

Skin doesn’t just age on the surface. This serum targets where regeneration begins.

Skincare That Works Beyond the Epidermis

Most serums target the epidermis—hydrating, plumping, or resurfacing the uppermost layers. But true ageing begins below: in the dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ), the structural interface where skin’s regeneration, strength, and signal traffic are coordinated.

B.LAB’s AgeBiome™ Biome Serum is engineered for this exact zone. Through targeted signal peptides and microbiome modulators, it helps retrain skin’s biological memory—restoring function, not just improving surface appearance.

What Is the DEJ — And Why It Matters

The dermal-epidermal junction is a thin but critical layer that:

  • Anchors the epidermis to the dermis
  • Facilitates nutrient and cytokine exchange
  • Coordinates cell renewal and collagen remodeling
  • Deteriorates with age, stress, and inflammation

When the DEJ breaks down, skin loses structure, resilience, and the ability to regenerate efficiently. This leads to visible sagging, dullness, and slower healing.

What the Biome Serum Does Differently

The AgeBiome™ Biome Serum is not just a hydration booster. Its formulation is designed to:

  • Deliver bioactive peptides that signal DEJ fibroblasts
  • Support post-exfoliation microflora recovery
  • Restore pH balance and reduce low-level inflammation
  • Recondition the DEJ to receive and respond to stimuli

It’s a retraining tool for tired skin—not just a topical smoother.

Mechanism of Action

Serum Function Biological Target
Signal peptides Fibroblast activation at DEJ
Postbiotic or microbiome-supportive actives Stratum and follicular biome
Humectant-lipid balance Barrier reinforcement
Acid-neutral pH logic DEJ tolerance and repair dynamics

This layered activity allows the skin to regain regenerative behavior, especially after exfoliation or dermal stress.

Why Epidermal-Only Serums Aren’t Enough

Standard Serums AgeBiome™ Biome Serum
Target surface hydration Target DEJ signal transmission
May disrupt biome Reconditions biome environment
Generic peptide inclusion Functional peptides sequenced post-exfoliation
Often over-perfumed/emulsified Minimalist, delivery-first formula

The Biome Serum is best used immediately post-exfoliation, when pathways are open and the DEJ is most receptive to signal cues.

When & How to Use It

Use as part of the AgeBiome Reset Ritual or after any in-clinic skin clearing service. Best results come when paired with:

  • Weekly exfoliation (acid or enzyme)
  • Optional dermarolling (2–3x/week)
  • Recovery layering (mask or lipid barrier finish)

Apply 2–4 drops on freshly cleansed or exfoliated skin, ideally in the evening.

Who It’s For

  • Skin showing age-related stagnation (dullness, uneven tone, poor bounce)
  • Post-treatment recovery clients needing biome recalibration
  • Users looking for results deeper than moisturization

Key Takeaways

  • The DEJ is the command center for skin regeneration and bounce
  • AgeBiome™ Biome Serum is engineered to activate and retrain this zone
  • It combines signal peptides + microbiome regulators + repair logic
  • Works best after exfoliation, when signal reception is biologically primed

Ask Your Therapist

Want to know if your DEJ is underperforming? Ask for a Skin Turnover Analysis or Biome Function Diagnostic at your next B.LAB appointment. This helps determine your optimal exfoliation and serum layering rhythm.
