Probiotics (Oral)
What is it?
Having healthy skin means having a balanced microbiota formed by microorganisms that coexist on the skin in a natural, symbiotic way. Probiotics (oral) are live or inactivated microorganisms that contribute to digestive well-being.
What does it do for your skin?
Numerous studies have demonstrated the link between the gut microbiota and the maintenance of healthy skin. The two systems communicate via the immune system and the well-known gut–brain–skin axis. Oral probiotic supplementation supports the balance of the gut microbiota, generating an anti-inflammatory response and restoring gut health. Given the aggressiveness of some standard acne treatments, oral probiotic supplements are often used as adjuvants to improve digestive tolerance.
