AWvi The Assessment Protocol

The Assessment Protocol is a dedicated 7-week clinical evaluation protocol designed to allow practitioners to assess AWvi in a real patient journey.

Combining The Skin Biotic and The Gentle Cleanser, it provides a simple way to evaluate AWvi’s dual biological support: systemic action through the gut-skin axis and local support of the skin microbiome, acid mantle and barrier integrity.

For aesthetic and in-clinic procedure settings, the protocol is designed to prepare the skin before treatment, optimise clinical outcomes, markedly reduce visible downtime and prolong results by supporting the biological conditions that influence skin response, tolerance, recovery and stability.

It allows practitioners to assess AWvi’s contribution to hydration quality, barrier behaviour, microbiome stability, post-treatment recovery and overall treatment support over a clinically relevant period of use.

Through this biological support, the protocol elevates visible skin quality, delivering enhanced radiance, greater luminosity, smoother-looking texture, a visibly better hydrated appearance, improved comfort and a more even, revitalised, clinically healthier-looking complexion.

For skin health professionals, it also provides a clear first assessment framework for patients with recurring sensitivity, redness or rosacea-prone skin, acne-prone presentations, dryness or impaired barrier function.

This protocol can be used alongside selected in-clinic treatments, corrective skincare, symptom-managing protocols or prescribed therapies, where appropriate, as a biological support layer for chronic, inflammatory or relapse-prone skin presentations.

Clinical rationale

• Acts through two complementary pathways: systemic gut-skin axis support and local microbiome-preserving skin support
• The Skin Biotic combines three proprietary, DNA-characterised probiotic strains with a targeted prebiotic substrate to support microbial balance, immune signalling and beneficial postbiotic metabolite activity
• The Gentle Cleanser preserves the resident microbiome, acid mantle and barrier integrity through a non-stripping formulation with ectoin, high molecular weight sodium hyaluronate and biomimetic lipids
• Together, they support the biological conditions that influence treatment response, tolerance, recovery, visible downtime and result durability
• This makes The Assessment Protocol particularly relevant before and after aesthetic procedures, while also providing complementary biological support alongside prescribed therapies for chronic or relapse-prone skin conditions

Recommended use

• First-line assessment protocol for patients preparing for, recovering from, or maintaining results after aesthetic procedures
• Particularly relevant where treatment response may be affected by reactivity, redness, dehydration, impaired barrier function or recurring instability
• Supports skin tolerance, recovery and visible downtime reduction during procedural treatment journeys
• Provides a biocompatible biological support layer alongside corrective skincare, active topicals or in-clinic interventions
• Appropriate as complementary support to prescribed therapies for chronic or relapse-prone skin conditions, where microbiome balance, barrier integrity and inflammatory regulation influence long-term stability
• Suitable for longer-term skin health maintenance when patients require continued support between treatments or beyond symptom control
