Acne, Skin Abnormalities
Conditions
Brief summary
Most skincare products on the market are topical and do not take a holistic approach to understanding skin health. This trial will examine a dietary supplement designed to support the gut microbiome and promote skin health from an internal perspective. Research has previously supported the link between the gut microbiome and skin health and the supplement tested in this trial will further the knowledge on the effectiveness of supporting gut health to improve skin outcomes.
