Lactic acid bacteria from breast milk and emollients show impressive results on dry, irritated, sensitive and eczema-prone skin.

Skinome is proud to present the impressive effect of the probiotic anti-inflammatory lactic acid bacterium Lactobacillus Reuteri, originally from breast milk, in combination with an emollient cream completely free of from additives.

Background
Lactic acid bacteriahave long been known to have a beneficial effect on eczema affected skin when taken orally, supported by 75 published clinical studies. The anti-inflammatory probiotic lactic acid bacterium, Lactobacillus Reuteri, has also been studied for the same purpose.

 

Our Study
This year we initiated a study on the topical application (on the skin) of Lactobacillus Reuteri. We combined this with our unique emollient cream, Rich Body Cream, to investigate its effect on symptoms associated with eczema-prone skin - irritation, itching, dryness and flaking.

 

Method
Over a 4-week period, we tested this combination on 35 women with dry, sensitive, irritated and/or eczema-prone skin.

 

Results
75% of participants reported a marked reduction in dryness and flaking skin.

60% of women experienced a reduction in itching.

84% experienced effective hydration. 

76% experienced a strengthened skin barrier thanks to this combination. 

None of the participants had new eczema outbreaks during the study.

Works on both the body and face, as well as for men and children.

Important:
It is of primary importance not to consider skin care as a substitute for drug treatment. In the presence of eczema, it is strongly recommended to consult a dermatologist. Drug therapy is usually necessary to treat the clinical symptoms associated with eczema.
