Probiotics and acne connection explored
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.

Probiotic effects on acne unclear
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.

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.

My skin and my daughter’s skin have significantly cleared up. There are no longer any signs of hormonal acne! I plan on ordering more. This product has also helped clean up my digestive tract. I will be continuing to purchase it.

Skin improvement
6 people found this helpful
This probiotic helped ease my stomach heaviness. Surprisingly, my skin started to clear, and acne on my chin transformed into small spots. I noticed a temporary "relapse," but the newer spots healed faster than usual. After a month of taking the supplement, the previous subcutaneous acne didn't return, though a couple of minor ones might appear. I've realised that probiotics are beneficial beyond just stomach discomfort.
