We examined the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects of Bifidobacterium in relation to acne. Our findings showed that certain strains, including Bifidobacterium longum, significantly lowered the viability of acne-causing bacteria. We also found that these strains reduced harmful inflammatory markers in cell tests.
Ultimately, while Bifidobacterium longum showed promise in reducing acne-related bacteria, the study suggests Bifidobacterium adolescentis may be more effective in tackling the problem.

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.

Skin has cleared

I've dealt with cystic acne for years and tried everything, yet nothing worked. I had no idea my gut flora was affecting my persistent acne. By taking two of these probiotics a day, my skin has been completely clear for months now! Any lapse in usage brings back the breakouts. I am excited to finally feel confident in my skin again!

I battled acne for years, having more in my 30s than my teenager. My doctor prescribed meds, but I was hesitant. After consulting a knowledgeable cousin about herbs, I took this product and noticed a difference within a week—I'm now completely free of acne! I've been using it for two years, and while I haven't experienced other changes, I continue taking it solely for its effectiveness against my acne.

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.

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.
