Key takeaways from this article

Adjust your fjör routine based on your skin type to optimize hydration and microbiome balance.
Consistency in using the Hydrolytic® Serum and Moisturizer helps maintain a strong skin barrier, optimal skin function and prevent imbalances.

Normal Skin

Your skin maintains a good balance, so a simple routine keeps it thriving.

AM: Apply 1-2 drops of the Hydrolytic® Serum to clean skin.
PM: Wash with water and a microfiber cloth or a gentle cleanser. Apply 1-2 drops of the Hydrolytic® Serum and follow with 1 pump of the Hydrolytic® Moisturizer to lock in hydration overnight.

Dry Skin

Dry skin benefits from deeper hydration and protection throughout the day.

AM: Apply 3-4 drops of the Hydrolytic® Serum, followed by 1-2 pump of the Hydrolytic® Moisturizer for lasting moisture.
PM: Cleanse gently with water and a microfiber cloth or a mild cleanser. Apply 3-4 drops of the Hydrolytic® Serum again, sealing it in with 1-2 pump of the Hydrolytic® Moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated overnight.

Oily Skin

Oily skin still needs hydration, but a lighter approach can help maintain balance.

AM: Apply 1-2 drops of the Hydrolytic® Serum. Skip the Hydrolytic® Moisturizer unless your skin feels tight or the weather is particularly cold.
PM: Wash with water and a microfiber cloth or a gentle cleanser. Use 1 pump of the Hydrolytic® Moisturizer, which hydrates without clogging pores.
Once a week: Give your skin a deep hydration session by applying both the Hydrolytic® Serum and Hydrolytic® Moisturizer before bed. This helps restore balance and prevent dehydration.

Combination Skin

If your skin is oily in some areas and dry in others, adjust as needed.

AM: Apply 1-2 drops of the Hydrolytic® Serum all over. If your skin feels dry, the weather is particularly cold or you have specific drier patches add a light layer of Hydrolytic® Moisturizer.
PM: Cleanse with water and a microfiber cloth or a gentle cleanser. Apply 1 pump of the Hydrolytic® Moisturizer across the face. Include 1-2 drops of the Hydrolytic® Serum on days where additional hydration is needed.

Dermatitis-Prone Skin

If your skin is prone to dermatitis, keeping it hydrated, rebalancing the microbiome and strengthening the skin barrier is key to preventing flare-ups.

AM: Apply 1-2 drops of the Hydrolytic® Serum, followed by 1 pump of the Hydrolytic® Moisturizer to protect the skin and maintain microbiome balance throughout the day.
PM: Wash with water and a microfiber cloth or a gentle, non-stripping cleanser. Be very careful with cleansing if your barrier is compromised. Apply 1-2 drops of the Hydrolytic® Serum, sealing it in with 1 pump of the Hydrolytic® Moisturizer.
Consistent microbiome rebalancing via the Hydrolytic® Enzyme is key.

Your Questions, Our Priority

Can I layer the Hydrolytic® Enzyme with other skincare products?

Absolutely. It pairs well with hydrators such as hyaluronic acid or soothing agents like ceramides. Introduce one new product at a time and avoid layering multiple potent actives to reduce the risk of irritation.

Is the Hydrolytic® Enzyme safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. Thanks to its gentle exfoliating action, the Hydrolytic® Enzyme is often better tolerated than harsher actives. It is clinically tested for sensitive skin. Even so, start slowly and perform a patch test to ensure your skin adapts well.

How quickly will I see results from the Hydrolytic® Enzyme or other retinol alternatives?

Most people begin noticing improvements in skin smoothness and tone within four to six weeks of consistent use. While gentler ingredients may take slightly longer to show dramatic effects compared to prescription-strength retinoids, they typically come with fewer side effects.

What is fjör?

fjör is a microbiome skincare brand from Scandinavia, designed to boost skin health by enhancing microbiome diversity. Using innovative Hydrolytic® Enzyme technology, fjör supports sensitive skin with a minimalist approach, focusing on resilience, hydration, and balance for a naturally radiant complexion.

Can the skin microbiome regenerate if it becomes unbalanced?

Yes, the skin microbiome is dynamic and can recover when given the right conditions. Supporting it with gentle skincare, reducing environmental stressors, and following a microbiome-friendly lifestyle can help restore balance.

What can I do to maintain a balanced skin microbiome in my daily life?

You can maintain a healthy skin microbiome by using gentle, microbiome-friendly skincare products, avoiding harsh cleansers or antibacterial soaps, and protecting your skin from over-exfoliation. Spending time in nature, staying hydrated, and eating a balanced diet also contribute to a thriving microbiome.
