Probiotic cleansers represent a significant advancement in skincare, aligning with the growing demand for microbiome-friendly products. Current research indicates that these cleansers may provide benefits in managing acne, eczema, and rosacea by balancing the skin microbiome and reducing inflammation. While more research is needed, especially regarding the stability and long-term effects of probiotics in skincare, the potential for probiotic cleansers in both daily skincare routines and as adjuncts in dermatological treatments is promising.

The Emerging Synergy of Probiotic and Glycolic Acid Cleansers: A Review of Current Research and Applications in Dermatology
Nov 07, 2024
As skincare research advances, interest has grown in combining probiotic and glycolic acid cleansers to address a range of skin concerns, from acne and hyperpigmentation to aging and inflammation. Probiotic cleansers support the skin’s microbiome, helping to strengthen its natural defenses and maintain a balanced barrier. In contrast, glycolic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), promotes exfoliation, skin renewal, and collagen production. Together, these cleansers offer a promising approach to enhancing skin health and appearance. This article reviews recent studies on the individual and combined effects of probiotic and glycolic acid cleansers, exploring their potential benefits and clinical applications in dermatology.
