Probiotics are active little helpers that work hard for your health
Did you know that 300 trillion microorganisms live on your skin and in your gut? Our gut microbiome communicates with our skin microbiome via the 'gut-skin axis'. If your gut microbiome is altered, it negatively affects your skin and can cause inflammation and bacteria responsible for conditions like acne and eczema. Probiotics are a natural and effective way to rebalance and restore your gut and skin microbiome.

The science
The Gut-Skin axis
The gut-skin axis simplified
Our skin is covered with trillions of bacteria.
Almost all of our body is covered in bacteria - actually, our bodies host more bacteria cells than human cells, a lot more! Bacteria are present in our gut, mouth, urinary tract, and our skin.
Skin microbiome is the term that scientists use to identify an ecosystem of thousands of microorganisms - bacteria, viruses, and fungi - living on our skin.
Among them, there are several strains of microbes (they are probiotics, indeed!) playing a crucial role in maintaining healthy skin and protecting it from infections against harmful microorganisms.
In other words, you can imagine your skin as a giant battlefield where huge arms of micro-monsters eat, reproduce themselves, and sometimes decide to fight against each other to colonise different territories.
Our skin has different layers: the corneum stratus is the one most populated by living bacteria. The probiotic strains living on our skin produce antimicrobial agents that help keep us healthy, and direct correct immune responses to fight infections.
Our skin is a marvellous world and scientists have just started to unveil it: however, they are unanimous in saying that our skin microbiome plays a crucial role in many skin disorders such as atopic dermatitis (also called eczema), acne, rosacea, and psoriasis.
The gut-skin axis explained.
Surprisingly, researchers have also discovered that our skin microbiome is directly connected to our gut microbiome [2]. For instance, did you know that changes in diet have been shown to not only impact the flora in our gut but also the bacteria on our skin? Also, skin disorders are not just associated with an altered skin microbiome, but quite often they correlate with an altered gut flora. The connection between our skin and gut microbiota - also known as the “skin-gut-axis” - describes the intimate relationship between the skin and the gut.
These two organs (we can consider our skin as a quite special organ) communicate mainly in two ways: directly or indirectly through our immune system.
The first case happens when the intestinal barrier is impaired and intestinal bacteria enter the bloodstream, accumulate in the skin, and disrupt the skin microbiome.
In the second case, an altered gut microbiota might negatively affect our immune system, which in turn creates a skin dysbiosis - namely an imbalance of our skin microbiota due to an increase of harmful bacteria. This uncontrolled immune response promotes the development of skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, acne vulgaris, dandruff and sometimes even more serious pathologies.
What are the typical skin conditions related to gut dysbiosis?
In short, an imbalance in our gut and in our skin microbiome can contribute to common skin disorders such as acne, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis (eczema) and rosacea.
There is a direct link between skin disorder and specific harmful bacteria, for example in numerous studies rosacea has been associated with an increased level of helicobacter pylori both in our gut and skin microbiome.
Atopic dermatitis is a common inflammatory skin disease characterised by xerosis, pruritus and eczema. It has been demonstrated that people with atopic dermatitis show an increased level of the pathogen Staphylococcus aureus in the affected skin (70% compared to 5% for healthy skin). Also, acne is caused by the proliferation of the pathogen P. acnes that obstructed the skin follicles. [3]
So, if you have one of these conditions and your skin creams are not working, start looking at your gut! Explore our Skin probiotics to learn more.

A live bacteria shown to reduce harmful bacteria causing skin and gut disorders. BR03 is also well recognised in helping the digestive system and IBS.
Clinical study: Recent researches have shown that altered diversity and composition of the gut microbiota may be the causal factor in the occurrence of chronic urticaria. In this double-blinded study, adults supplemented with BR03 for 8 weeks demonstrated a significant reduction of urticaria symptoms.

“I am super passionate about probiotics and gut health. An unhealthy gut contributes to a wide range of chronic diseases. I have been very impressed with the new Fermento range. They offer a range of the right probiotic strains backed by robust scientific research. Having an autoimmune condition, myself, probiotics are such an important tool for me. I use the probiotic supplements myself and always recommend the range to my clients!”
“Fermento was able to provide me with a wealth of papers demonstrating the efficacy of the strains used in their products which I found encouraging. I consider the skin to be a reflection of gut health, and as an eczema sufferer I have tried several probiotic products in the past with differing results. Having tried the products for a month now, I have been able to see some improvement during this time. Within a few weeks, I noted a reduction in the severity and duration of the flares.”
“I highly recommend Fermento Probiotics. They use well researched bacteria strains targeted to support the bodies needs! I particularly love the Immune power probiotic that contains 2 immune and gut supporting strains plus, unlike many brands, they also contain zinc, vitamin D and Inulin for added benefits! I always recommend Fermento probiotics in my clinic and always get amazing feedback from my clients!”
“Navigating all the different brands of supplements out there can be tricky, so I am especially thrilled with Fermento for their probiotics range of strains specially chosen to target specific conditions. They are high quality and well researched making them an easy and reliable choice for all my clients.”
“I am really excited that we now have a targeted, evidence backed Probiotic product to offer our clients. I am confident that this will be a valuable addition to their skin health journey with us, complementing our aesthetic treatments by supporting their skin and gut health from within.”

How do I take it?
Take 1 capsule per day, preferably on an empty stomach. Our Skin probiotics are the first to be developed to survive time, moisture and gastric acid. But you know your body best: if your symptoms are severe you can take up to 2 capsules per day (all at once).
To restore your skin microbiome from within. Our gut microbiome communicates with our skin microbiome via the “gut-skin axis”.
If our gut microbiome is altered, it negatively impacts our skin health, ultimately causing inflammation, oxidative stress, and the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria responsible for many skin conditions.
Thousands of probiotic strains exist. We select the specific strains that your skin microbiome needs, at the right dose. We have digested hundreds of clinical studies and partnered with a leading probiotics provider, to create our proprietary probiotic blend targeted for skin health.
Every one of us is different, like our microbiome. Some people start to see improvements after 1 month, others need a few more weeks. The clinical studies on our probiotics strains demonstrates improvements in trialists after 60-90 days.
Missing a few days won't cause any side effects. But consistency is key. Remember to take your capsule daily for at least 3 months to optimise its benefits.
