BIFIACNEL® is a probiotic supplement specifically formulated to target acne-related skin conditions. It includes two strains selected for their potent anti-inflammatory properties:
Ligilactobacillus salivarius LS03: Chosen from over 70 strains for its superior anti-inflammatory activity, particularly in IL-10 production. LS03 excels in reducing IL-8, thereby curbing local inflammation induced by Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes). A standout feature of LS03 is its production of bacteriocins, which are effective against P. acnes [1].
Bifidobacterium breve BR03: Recognized as the most potent anti-inflammatory Bifidobacterium in Probiotical’s collection, largely due to its IL-10 production [2,3]. This effect is also strongly induced by Lactobacillus casei LC03 [4].
BIFIACNEL®'s efficacy was evaluated in a randomized, placebo and active controlled clinical study involving patients suffering from mild to moderate acne [5]. The results from 8 weeks of supplementation with BIFIACNEL® demonstrated significant improvements in several aspects:
Reduction in the total number of facial lesions.
Decrease in erythema and desquamation.
Lowered sebum secretion rate.
Reduced presence of P. acnes on the skin while promoting the growth of beneficial Staphylococcus epidermidis.
