Probiotic supplementation has been shown to modulate the gut-skin axis. The goal of this study was investigate whether oral spore-based probiotic ingestion modulates gut microbiome, plasma short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), and skin biophysical properties. This a single-blinded, 8-week (NCT03605108) in which 25 participants, 7 with noncystic acne, were assigned take placebo capsules for first 4 weeks, followed by weeks supplementation. Blood stool collection, facial photography, sebum...
