FAQs

I have very sensitive skin, will the Bree range work for me?

At Bree, when we claim that our products are suitable for all skin types, we mean even those with sensitive skin. We have conducted dermatological tests on all our products, guaranteeing that they won't have any negative impact on your skin, regardless of its type. We achieve this by avoiding the use of surfactants that disrupt the skin's barrier function, thus reducing the chances of sensitisation.

Are Bree products suitable for all ages?

Bree's probiotic skincare products have shown remarkable results for people of all ages.

Probiotics possess anti-aging properties, with many older individuals attesting to feeling rejuvenated after using them. By protecting the skin barrier, probiotics also reduce inflammation, which is a major contributor to accelerated aging when the barrier function is impaired. It's crucial to prioritise skin health proactively, rather than solely relying on treating symptoms.

In addition, Bree's probiotic skincare products are effective in combating acne, a common inflammatory skin condition among young people. By reducing inflammation, inhibiting the overgrowth of harmful bacteria linked to breakouts, and repairing damaged skin barrier function, probiotics have been proven to be highly beneficial for improving acne.

In conclusion, Bree's probiotic skincare products promote healthy skin with a dual effect:

  • They help combat aging for older individuals and
  • effectively fight breakouts and other skin conditions for the younger generation.

What Species of probiotics do you use?

We use bacteria called Bacillus in our products as these bacteria are derived from soil and water and are the hardiest beneficial bacteria for topical use. Bacillus is known for its ability to produce enzymes that break down dead skin cells and promote cell turnover, which can help to improve the skin's texture and tone. Additionally, bacillus has been shown to have antimicrobial properties, which can help to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria on the skin.

Are Bree products for females or Males?

While our products are primarily marketed towards women, we
are proud to have a significant number of male customers who love our products. At our core, we aim to create skincare and beauty products that are suitable for individuals of all genders and races. We believe that it's essential not to differentiate between genders or races in the production and marketing of our products, even though there may be minor differences in skin characteristics between men and women or different races.

Instead, our goal is to create products that cater to everyone, regardless of their demographic. For instance, our shampoo bars have been a popular choice among both men and women. Men have even used our shampoo bars for shaving purposes as they lather well and are gentle on the skin. Similarly, our moisturizer is perfect for men to use after shaving.

In summary, we believe in creating products that cater to a diverse range of people and are dedicated to producing and marketing skincare and beauty products that are suitable for everyone, irrespective of their gender or race.
