We know that skin issues can be tough

No matter the issue, Parallel’s Microbiome Dermatology 3-step plan (the MD-03 Protocol™) can provide answers even for the most complex cases. As a fully licensed teledermatology practice, we are your partner no matter where you are in your skin health journey, but can especially support those who experience:

Eliminate inflammation-causing bacteria without antibiotics through phage therapy.

Your skin is home to a constellation of millions of microbes. Many are beneficial, but pathogenic inhabitants can lead to conditions like acne and inflammation, and impact how you age.

Parallel's unique Microbiome Dermatology™ approach is holistic. The MD-03 Protocol™ provides precision testing and phage therapy to selectively eliminate pathogenic bacteria, while leaving beneficial ones alone to nourish and thrive, supported by microbiome-supportive ingredients rich with peptides, prebiotics, and antioxidants.

Amazing for breakouts

I was hesitant to use phages but it worked for my friend who has really bad acne, Got a test and then my first serum. Texture is nice and I like that it contains liposomal vitamin C with the phage cocktail. Whenever I feel a breakout coming on, I use it, and my spots disappear in 24 hours!! This product is amazing. I always keep it in my gym bag for after workouts, too.

A.S.

MD-03 Protocol™

The best!!!

I purchased this product from my doctor and was a little skeptical, but this cream doesn't disappoint.. I have tried many moisturizers, but this is seriously the best cream I have ever tried. My skin feels noticeably tighter and more radiant. I already purchased my second jar.

A.F.

Blue Biotic™ Multi-Effect Peptide Cream

Best duo!

I bought the travel size of both of these products to try them out and will definitely be purchasing the full size! The cleanser was very gentle on my skin and didn't create any redness or inflammation on my skin like other cleansers have done in the past.
The moisturizer was so hydrating, my skin absolutely loved it! It made my skin so soft and plump. Love both of these products!

Z.Z.

Daily Reset Duo

Great skincare product that actually works! The Blue Biotic made my skin so smooth my mom asked me if I got botox 😂 Highly highly recommend for forehead wrinkles!

F.M.

Blue Biotic™ Multi-Effect Peptide Cream

Love love love.

I'm very picky about my moisturizers, but this Silk Cream is a favorite. It's hydrating, smells great, and has a really smooth texture. My skin just feels nice after using it.

R.C.

NEW: Skin Barrier Biotic™ Cream

Above the rest

I'm a total skincare snob and am critical of most of what is out there. I also hate subscribing to products. But this cream is nothing short of extraordinary and I subscribe to the large jar every two months.

L.C.

Blue Biotic™ Multi-Effect Peptide Cream

Moisturizing and smoothing

I bought the Blue Biotic cream because I am 40 yo and starting to see fine lines on my face. I also have dry skin in general. I've been using it morning and evening for several months now, and the first thing I noticed is that my skin became smoother and softer. Now I have fewer fine lines than before and my face feels hydrated throughout the day without feeling sticky. I really have to search for skin creams that don't leave my skin feeling sticky, so I'm glad to find this nicely hydrating but light cream.
