Live P.S.® is a Safe, Effective Acne Treatment

SARASOTA, Fla., March 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Did you know some acne skincare ingredients could actually hurt your skin and potentially cause cancer? Shocking… yes, but the unfortunate matter is that it is possible. Independent U.S. laboratory, Valisure has reported finding high levels of cancer-causing chemical benzene in some acne treatments from brands and has filed a petition with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, calling on the regulator to recall the products according to Reuters.com. Benzoyl peroxide products are usually used to treat mild to moderate acne. When used to treat acne, benzoyl peroxide works by reducing the number of acne-causing bacteria by stripping the skin of most bacteria including the beneficial ones it needs to flourish, putting it at risk for further infections, etc.

Why Topical LIVE Probiotics Are a Safe Alternative:

Benzene Contamination in Acne Treatments Sparks Concern! Live P.S.'s Topical Live Probiotic Serum Safest Solution.

Acne is, fundamentally, an indication of an imbalanced skin microbiome, the skin's microflora, a delicate assembly of bacteria. The health of the skin microbiome plays a pivotal role in dictating the onset or absence of acne. Topical LIVE probiotics like those found in Live P.S.'s Recovery Live Probiotic Serum are living organisms that have nutritional, metabolic, and immunity benefits.

These beneficial bacteria offer a promising solution for acne treatment without all the side effects of OTC acne products due to their ability to restore balance to the skin microbiome. By reintroducing beneficial bacterial strains that have been diminished in the presence of acne, these probiotics counteract strains like P. acnes responsible for breakouts. These beneficial bacteria not only hinder the overgrowth of P. acnes but also generate antibacterial proteins, effectively controlling P. acnes without compromising beneficial microflora.

Clinical trials have shown that the topical application of LIVE probiotics like those found in Live P.S.'s Recovery Live Probiotic Serum enhances the skin's microbiome function by augmenting antimicrobial properties [1,2,3,4,5,6].

In a recent clinical study, board-certified dermatologists saw a statistically significant increase in hydration and a decrease in inflammatory diseases including acne, as well as a reduction in overall inflammation when subjects applied topical LIVE probiotics daily. In less than 14 days, the study results showed an average of 50% reduction in acne symptoms and 25% less inflammation [7].
