My skin improved greatly when I started including plain Greek yogurt into my diet, regularly. I also started taking Dr Formulated Probiotics for mood. The combination of gut and mental health has undoubtedly supported healthier, less inflamed, skin for me! Although, it did take at least 6 months for me to really start to see sustainable change. To add: I would not recommend drinking Kombucha for a primary source of probiotics. These drinks tend to be high in sugar-- which for me, has caused inflammation in the past.

My skin greatly benefitted from SK-II Treatment Essence - more of a pre-biotic, as it is a ferment, but anyways: great results! Much less acne, the pimples are far less deep, take a much shorter time to surface, and in turn, now I have really nice skin, after 15 years of acne :) I think Missha also has some fermented toner that is cheaper (not actually cheap). Have also tried the SK-II Clear Lotion, and don't recommend it - the effect is not the same as with the essence.

[@thebeauty_minimalist]

I am a big believer that the best way to get probiotics is by eating fermented foods, no need to take a probiotic supplement! I would love to hear your thoughts on topical probiotics, and if there’s been any more research breakthroughs since your last video a few years ago.

I eat sauerkraut a lot these days because I found out it is jam packed with vitamins and not just good bacteria for the gut.

[@Healinghandschildcare]

[@vetsai8199]

I started taking probiotics because I suffered for more than two decades with ulcerative colitis-making it difficult to maintain my body weight as well as keeping me in a state of anemia. I also suffered from eczema during this time. The first clue I received that indicated an improvement in my health was a healing of the bleeding eczema behind my ears (which had been quite painful). It actually took a couple of weeks, taking probiotics with each meal, before the bleeding of my colon lessened-and never resumed!! One of the individual probiotics I always look for in a probiotic product is “rhamnosus” (as well as acidophilus and the better known varieties). Rhamnosus is good for the immune system, and is NOT included in most probiotic preparations, so you really have to read labels to make sure you are looking at a product that contains a wide variety of strains!

Hi VE Tsai. I hope you are well today.

I recently started taking a fiber supplement on the advice of my doctor to improve digestion. One unexpected side effect has been that my skin is actually consistently clear for the first time in my adult life. Turns out fiber is considered a "prebiotic" (not probiotic) because it apparently nourishes and supports the "good bacteria" that may be already present in your gut. Fascinating. To be fair I'm still inclined to think that most supplements are pure unfiltered marketing....

I do take it daily for gut health. Been sick twice, was given antibiotics which made things worse. Probiotics and prebiotics helped restore my gut back to normal. I just incorporate it daily either by natural means (food) or a supplement.

[@beckyrose5880]

Dr. Dray, could you do a review of the Phyla skincare products with the live bacteria/topical probiotic serum? Would love to know your thoughts!

[@allhimwithme5115]

Thank you for covering this. I just quit taking Hum skin probiotic formula a couple of days ago because I think it was making me worse. Most probiotics are inflammatory for anyone with *histamine intolerance,* like I have, because so many strains produce histamine. I can only take "low histamine" probiotics, but I have no idea what, if anything, they're doing for me. I don't see any change in my skin or histamine condition for taking them. I know I have gut disbiosis; I took 2 Thorne gut tests in the last 1.5 years that say so, anyway. After fasting (IF and prolonged) and eating ridiculously clean for a year my test came back WORSE. I'm discouraged at best. Oh, and I thought any probiotic blend that said it was to reduce inflammation in the skin wouldn't produce histamine but I think I was wrong based on the result.

[@aerzhhey4549]

Dr. Dray, I'd really like to know your take on Bone Broth especially the benefits we possibly get for skin health

[@belzeebubbubbachunks]

I remember being told by my pediatrician telling me to eat yogurt and probiotics as a child. But I don't think there was really any research on probiotics and the intestinal flora in the 90's with eczema patients. Fast forward 20 years I developed IBS-C at 21. I had it really bad for about 2 years, but it's gradually improved with every year with a combo of consistent probiotic use and lifestyle changes. But definitely not overnight

India has a custom of eating curd made by adding culture to milk at a warm temperature and left overnight or less depending on weather. I dont know if that qualifies or not as probiotic but curd helps big time with so many issues including but not limited to yeast infections. It is typically consumed in the day and strictly forbidden at night .

[@rdpcl]

I've had bad acne since puberty (I'm 35 now) and a few years ago one dermatologist suggested dairy as a cause. I try to lower my dairy intake to a minimum especially since the pandemic began, because wearing a mask makes my breakouts 10 times worse. Recently I went through a 4 week elimination diet to fix my intestinal flora and it was the first time in my adult life that I had clear skin without antibiotics. The diet called for probiotic supplements and probiotic rich foods like sauerkraut, yogurt, kefir and kombucha, which I ate keeping some days in between each. 2 days after having yogurt my face was covered in cysts. I added the kefir later because why not, and it got worse. Sauerkraut and kombucha didn't have a visible effect. I was hoping that this reset would help my acne, but sadly it didn't.

I’m using the Vichy 89 Probiotic Fractions serum which I really like. This product is said to increase “skin immunity” which for me as acne prone makes it worthwhile to test it out. Ofc I don’t know if this term came from a marketing department etc but I decided to support the product just because I keep hearing dermatologist refer to acne as a disease nowadays, so I’m always like, if it’s a disease than why isn’t my immune system taking care of it? Lol. Anyways it also has niacinamide in it which I love… I hope companies and labs keep investing in pre/pro/postbiotics, it does seem promising.

[@angelat1839]

I recently started using this as well. I have been using Vichy’s other serum 89 with HA for a couple years and my skin loves it. I don’t know if the serum with probiotics is doing anything different, but so far so good. I use 89 HA in the mornings under my make up. And use the probiotic one at night under my thicker night time moisturizer.

I eat some probiotic foods and they don't do anything wonderful per se, but they are easier to digest than highly processed foods or fast food. They tend to be a part of many traditional diets. Pickles are easier to eat because they are fermented, cucumbers are pretty hard.

[@xtinacg]

I just started making my own sauerkraut and fermented veggies. I’ve been consuming them daily for about a week, and I stopped breaking out. I just started my period also, so about a week prior is when I started eating my probiotic rich foods. I’m blown away actually. I breakout daily, always on my chin area. I’m going to continue eating it daily and see how my skin behaves after my cycle as well. Note, I have not been eating the cleanest outside of my sauerkraut. I’ve still consumed some candy (highly inflammatory for me usually), cheese, and some processed foods. I highly recommend you make your own fermented foods rather than buy a supplement . It’s easy and WAY cheaper! I’ll try and remember to provide an update on my comment, about 3 weeks later so I can say for sure this isn’t some coincidence.

I tend to think at this point that probiotics is a worthy investment if you have gut issues. I wonder if the acute pancreatitis issue is just an issue because the body can't regulate bacteria as well as it should?

I've been taking probiotics for about 10 years now as recommended by my doctor and honestly can't tell a difference. Tests show I never have enough good bacteria. I'm thinking about stopping them to see if anything changes. If I notice changes then I will start taking them again.

[@jessicalinneaa]

Have you tried incorporating prebiotics? PRObiotics is the good bacteria but your stomach needs PREbiotics for the probiotics to do good. Prebiotics stimulates the growth and uptake of probiotics so they’re both needed. So maybe that’s why you’re not noticing any differences 😚

Home made sauerkraut and kimchi and kefir is all you need

[@susanhester]

@@Chad123x I also use homemade sauerkraut.

Hi Dr Dray!!🌻🌻 I was wondering if you have any suggestions for what can be done to combat loose skin due to weight loss. I understand that major cases might require surgery, but what are the things we can take orally or apply topically to help. Thank you!!💛💛

She has a video, how to tighten saggy skin. Don't know if it would cover exactly what you're asking about.

I think you have to give it time

You have to work out

Is ectoine a probiotic? Recently I've been using ectoine allergy drops in my eyes to help with itchy eyes and had been considering using it in an cream to help treat my irritated seb derm. The available literature seemed to say that ectoine worked via supporting bacteria, but I wasn't sure if it was saying it was probiotic? The eye drops are helping me stop itching, but I hadn't come across the ingredient before. The claims seem very positive but I'm not clear on its mechanism.

Happy Wednesday. Austin Chiang MD MPH specializes in GI issues and has a channel. Have you heard of the night dual sided beauty pillowcase? One side is mulberry silk and one side is bamboo. The silk side is for folks with dry skin and the bamboo side is for folks with oily skin.

[@whitneybrown4067]

Greetings d b hope u r well n Happy Wednesday😀👍💜….

[@DrDrayzday]

i have not, but both fabrics are smooth on skin and breathable

[@Iquey]

Dual sided pillows are also nice just bc the no silk side prevents it from sliding away.

A good yogurt is the brand Nancy's. I buy the plain and add my own fruit and sometimes stevia.

Great video like always. 🙏❤

thanks for watching

[@bswisle]

Can you talk about the new product Addison Rae is pushing: Screen Break(blue light protection spray). Seems like an obvious fad, but a lot of people would like to know more about the research on how blue light effects on the skins.

[@aprilshowers0420]

I make my own sauerkraut for probiotics. It’s a little work upfront but I know what I am getting and it’s way cheaper. I eat a little bit everyday

[@cherylcalifornia125]

Hi Dr. Dray, My Urologist recommended I take a probiotic a couple months ago for I’m prone to getting chronic uti’s. The pharmacist at Walmart recommended a few different ones and I settled on a gummy kind/brand. Tastes good but I can’t tell if I feel any different but I’m going to continue taking them.

[@matthewirwin1112]

Maybe try using non-gummy brands. Anecdotally, i've heard they are not the best for absorption.

[@CowboyLikeMegan]

Gummy vitamins nearly always contain sugar, which is exactly what you don’t want if you are UTI prone. I would consider another brand that is a normal capsule.

I was taking a high dose probiotic daily for a while - I developed little bimps under my skin - When i stopped the probiotic they went away - Have not taken them since- Waste of money IMO

[@jiranma]

Quite a few years back my Korean friend gifted me a probiotic facial wash hahaha... It was a fad I think...but it was quite mild and smelled quite nice (perfumed of course).

[@sandralewin5920]

I eat Greek yogurt each day for the protein. I have super sensitive skin and nothing seems to help. This past August I was diagnosed with perioral dermatitis and after 2 months of antibiotics and topical treatments, the visible signs were gone however I now have itching in my scalp, eyebrows, ears, neck, chin, cheeks, below the eyes and chest. My derm gave me rx shampoo and a vanicream z bar. I'm really miserable and pray something lets up soon.

[@mcookie0983]

What about probiotics formulated into skincare? Is there a difference in probiotic quality whether it's professional grade or otc?
