Acne is by far one of the most common skin conditions we know of. But it is also the most confusing, frustrating and mysterious skin condition there is. It is very personal and there is hardly a practical approach to treating pimples that works for everyone. Family, friends and acquaintances often come with well-known brands and products, often brands supported by a lot of marketing money/power, which makes you think that these are the only solutions. Hormonal chin and forehead pimples that we know from the teenage years or from female monthly hormone fluctuations often have a different cause than the emerging pimples and bumps that appear after skin reactions to soft drinks, whipped cream, chocolate, sugar and starch. Therefore, consulting a dermatologist is of utmost importance.
Yet experts agree that the chemical process that precedes these inflammations is the same. Basically an imbalance in the amount of Proprioni bacterium acnes whereby other organisms can further aggravate the resulting skin problems. But probiotics can have a supporting function in all forms. The addition of probiotics (or even better, a product like Anna is Clear, which is a paraprobiotic), whether through supplements or skin care, can be a very good support for blemish-prone skin.

PROBIOTICS and the newer PARAPROBIOTICA member are bacterial supplements.
KEY BENEFITS: Calms internal and external inflammation, restores skin barrier function and provides protection against harmful environmental particles. A product like Anna is Clear also prevents the responsible bacteria from multiplying too much.
WHO CAN USE IT: While anyone can benefit from probiotics and paraprobiotics, they will be especially helpful for people with inflammatory skin conditions such as acne, eczema, or rosacea, or for anyone who suffers from dryness or sensitivity due to a disrupted skin barrier.
HOW OFTEN CAN YOU USE IT: It is safe to use both oral and topical probiotics daily, morning and evening.

Specific skin conditions related to inflammation (acne, rosacea and eczema) can flare up when something throws off the balance of healthy bacteria. This is not just external. An imbalance of bacteria in the intestines can also cause irritants to be produced to correct the imbalance. These irritants can then also enter our blood. This activates our immune system, which can lead to inflammation throughout our body, including the skin.
The theory behind using probiotics, both internally and externally, for acne is that it can normalize the balance of healthy bacteria on the skin to reduce inflammation.
Proper skin care inhibits the production of Propionibacterium acnes: Probiotics applied to the skin consistently lead to fewer cases of the P. acnes bacteria that causes acne according to a recently published article in a major dermatology magazine.
In addition:
a. Protects the skin from environmental damage: Fighting external sources of irritation or infection is easier when probiotics support your skin care.
b. Strengthens the skin’s natural moisture barrier: If you’ve been over-exfoliating with cleansers and other products, probiotics help restore the skin’s natural barrier function, which is essential for banishing redness, sensitivity, breakouts and irritation.
Probiotic skin care has no significant side effects. It’s important to note that introducing probiotics to your skin or into your digestive system can stir things up a bit, so probiotics could potentially increase the number of breakouts you see at the start. There are additional steps you need to take to protect your microbiome when introducing probiotics orally. Therefore, it is best to speak with a healthcare provider before starting. Always consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
