Unravel the Mystery: Does Probiotic Skincare Really Work? Experts Resolve Your Doubts!

With the rise of probiotics in our daily diets to help manage intestinal health, eliminate toxins and hence improve skin conditions, it's no wonder that this "good bacteria" trend has made its way onto our skincare shelves. But, does it really live up to the hype?

Why does our skin need probiotics?

Our skin is exposed to the external environment where various bacteria live. There are good bacteria, commonly known as probiotics that are beneficial to our skin (Bifidobacterium including Bifidobacterium lactis and Bifidobacterium bifidum, lactic acid bacteria, etc.); and bad bacteria that trigger acne and inflammation on the skin (Malassezia, Staphylococcus aureus, mould, Cutibacterium acnes, etc.).

These bacteria live on the skin. When the number of good bacteria exceeds that of bad bacteria, the skin will maintain good condition. If it is the other way round, this will trigger different skin problems such as acne, inflammation, comedones, etc. To combat bad bacteria, we have to increase the number of good bacteria – this is when probiotics play their part.

What are the differences between probiotics, prebiotics and postbiotics?

Their classification is simple:

Probiotics are a kind of microorganisms beneficial to the human body, commonly known as good bacteria.

Prebiotics are a source of nutrients or healthy food for good bacteria/probiotics that promotes their growth.

Postbiotics are tiny probiotic-derived factors that can strengthen the protective barrier of the skin.

Do probiotic skincare products really contain probiotics?

No. Live probiotics cannot be added to skincare products. Only extracted ingredients from probiotics, prebiotics and postbiotics will be added, such as dietary fibres and carbohydrates from prebiotics and enzymes, amino acids and peptides from postbiotics.

Who needs probiotic skincare?

People who experience ageing, prolonged outdoor activities, an environment with serious air pollution, sensitive skin, prolonged mask use and poor skin immunity can try probiotic skincare. The good bacteria can strengthen the skin’s protective barrier and maintain the healthy balance of the skin when facing irritants such as temperature changes and a polluted environment.
