Probiotics

Probiotics are beneficial microorganisms that help maintain the balance of gut and skin microbiota. In cosmetics, they can strengthen the skin barrier, soothe the skin, and improve certain skin conditions such as acne and eczema. Whether used as dietary supplements or applied directly to the skin, probiotics have more than one virtue.
