We investigated the antimicrobial properties of thermophilin 110, a substance made by Streptococcus thermophilus, on the acne-related bacteria, Cutibacterium acnes. The study revealed that thermophilin 110 could significantly inhibit the growth and biofilm formation of C. acnes, especially at higher concentrations.
While it shows promise as a treatment option, current gel formulations struggle to release the bacteriocin effectively. Future improvements could turn these gels into effective delivery systems for targeting acne bacteria.

We explored the connection between probiotics, particularly Lactobacillus acidophilus, and acne, delving into the gut-brain-skin axis. This long-standing theory suggests that our emotional states can impact gut health, potentially leading to acne due to inflammation and other factors.
Recent scientific studies indicate that probiotics might affect acne severity by influencing inflammation and even mood. However, while the relationship between gut health and skin clarity is intriguing, we did not find strong evidence conclusively linking Lactobacillus acidophilus treatment to significant improvements in acne.

We explored the connection between gut health and acne, particularly the impact of Lactobacillus acidophilus. Historically, researchers like Stokes and Pillsbury suggested that our emotional states and gut microflora could influence skin conditions, including acne. Their idea that probiotics might help reduce inflammation and improve skin health has gained traction. While recent studies validate some aspects of this gut-brain-skin link, Lactobacillus acidophilus is still being examined for its specific role in treating acne effectively. Current results indicate that we might not yet see significant improvements directly attributed to this probiotic.

Effective for acne

I began taking this for health reasons, but it's significantly improved my acne. I used to have problematic skin, trying various supplements, but this probiotic has been the most effective. After about two weeks, I noticed no acne on my face. If you struggle with rough skin, I highly recommend giving this a try. I hope it helps!

Improved skin condition

I’ve been experiencing constipation and gas, so I tried this probiotic due to its affordability and quantity. Since taking it, I've noticed improvements in my gut health. Most surprisingly, my back acne, which I couldn't eliminate with anything else, has cleared up. I've realised that being healthy inside leads to better skin.

Comparable to Bifiform

This probiotic works just as well as "Bifiform", but at a fraction of the price. I started using it for gastrointestinal issues and acne, and it has proven effective. The digestive tract functions properly, and my skin has cleared up nicely. I'm very pleased with my experience and will order more!

Through a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study we evaluated a dietary supplement containing probiotics, including lactobacillus salivarius, to see how it affects mild to moderate acne. Over 8 weeks, participants taking the supplement showed significant improvements, including a reduction in inflammatory lesions and sebum production, marking it as a promising add-on treatment for acne. Notably, we observed changes in skin bacteria, suggesting a beneficial shift in skin microbiota. Overall, this supplement may enhance current acne treatments, highlighting the potential of probiotics in skincare.

Probiotics enhance acne treatment safety
This study sought to see if probiotics could enhance the effectiveness of antibiotics while minimizing their side effects for treating acne. We enrolled 45 women aged 18 to 35, assigning them to receive either probiotics, antibiotics, or both.
Results showed that all groups improved after four weeks. However, those taking both probiotics and antibiotics saw even better outcomes at eight and twelve weeks. Notably, some patients in the antibiotic-only group faced complications that required them to drop out.
These findings suggest that probiotics could work well alongside antibiotics, potentially making acne treatment safer and more effective.

Improves skin condition

This supplement is a great aid for the gastrointestinal tract. A jar contains 100 capsules, enough for my family for a month. The digestive comfort has greatly improved; my teenager's acne is significantly better, and results were evident within the first week. It's easy to take just one capsule daily and is a must for our medicine cabinet.

We aimed to examine whether Lactobacillus salivarius LS03 could effectively combat acne by targeting the bacteria Propionibacterium acnes and reducing inflammation. In our study, we used a sophisticated assessment method to analyze the antibacterial effects and the strain's ability to inhibit the release of interleukin-8, a key inflammatory marker.
While our findings suggest L. salivarius LS03 may serve as a potential alternative to traditional acne treatments, further research is needed to fully establish its benefits.
