- 5 Probiotic Skin-Care Products We Can’t Get Enough Of
We’re used to hearing about how probiotics in our food can help our gut (cue, yogurt commercials, anyone?), but the healthy bacteria has recently found its way into a growing number of our skin-care products, too. According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) and NYC dermatologist Whitney Bowe, MD, the rise of pre- and probiotics in everything from body creams to face cleansers can be attributed to some promising-sounding research . Ahead, we rounded up five of our editors’ favorites.

Made for dry skin (and approved by the National Eczema Association), this intense repair moisturizing cream is lipid replenishing, contains up to 28 hours of hydration and is clinically shown to reduce dry, rough skin. It also contains a specially formulated La Roche-Posay prebiotic thermal water.
