What it does: This probiotic-loaded treatment system pairs the benefits of topical probiotics with the ingestible variety to vanquish acne.
"When it comes to skin nutrition, focusing on probiotic-rich foods from both diet and supplement form will be more effective over applying a cream alone," says beauty nutritionist and biochemist Paula Simpson.
The system combines three daily supplements with a topical serum. If you want to clear up your acne, but don't want to stuff your skin with the typical salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide, this may be a worthwhile alternative. Bolstered by antioxidants and fatty acids, the probiotics help defuse external irritants and restore the skin's balance in a way that's natural and non-chemically abrasive.
