How to Use SIV Biome Balancing Serum (And Why I Use It With Nearly Every Client)

If your skin feels reactive, congested, inflamed, or like it’s constantly “overcorrecting,” the issue often isn’t what you’re missing—it’s what your skin can no longer regulate on its own.

That’s where SIV Biome Balancing Serum becomes a foundational part of nearly every routine we build.

Here's Why we Prioritize the Microbiome:

Your skin’s microbiome is made up of beneficial bacteria that protect the barrier, regulate inflammation, and communicate with your immune system. When that ecosystem is disrupted—by over-exfoliation, stress, acne treatments, harsh cleansers, or environmental damage—skin becomes more reactive, prone to breakouts, and less responsive to treatment.

SIV is designed to support and rebalance the microbiome, not strip or suppress it. Instead of forcing change, it helps your skin return to a state where it can function properly again.

This is why we often say "If the microbiome isn’t supported, no active works as well as it should."

The Science Behind Why We Love SIV:

SIV focuses on:

Barrier reinforcement, helping reduce transepidermal water loss
Microbiome support, encouraging a healthier balance of good bacteria
Inflammation regulation, which is key for acne, sensitivity, and aging

When the barrier is strong and the microbiome is balanced, the skin:

Calms down faster
Breaks out less
Heals more efficiently
Tolerates professional treatments and active products better

This is why we pair SIV with almost every client—whether they’re acne-prone, dry, inflamed, or focused on long-term skin health.

How to Use SIV Biome Balancing Serum

Apply 1–4 drops to clean, moist skin
Use morning and night
Follow with your serums + moisturizer
In the morning, always finish with SPF

SIV layers beautifully under treatment serums and is especially helpful when starting professional treatments, resetting a routine, or repairing a compromised barrier.
