The Estée Lauder Companies has found that La Mer’s macrosystis pyferia ferment-containing serum (MPF-serum) provides improved moisturization and skin barrier repair after dermatological procedures. In a study published in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, Dr. Uma Santhanam and Dr. Claude Saliou from Estée Lauder, and Dr. Jaime Emmetsberger from La Mer examined the MPF-serum’s effect on the integrity of the skin barrier.
