Genestra HMF Cream was previously marketed as HMF Candigen Cream. This product was originally designed as a topical probiotic vaginal cream directed primarily at Candida, but because probiotic bacteriotherapy may help other conditions such as acne, allergic inflammation, atopic dermatitis, eczema, skin hypersensitivity, or UV-induced skin damage, it is now marketed as a more general purpose skin care product for a broad range of concerns.
HMF stands for Human Micro Flora (the strains used in Genestra HMF products are sourced from humans).
Latest packaging may be slightly different than shown.
