Probiotics are live microorganisms that have a positive effect on the host organism. They are used in the food, pharmacological and cosmetology industries. The basic function of probiotics is prevention and prophylaxis against the induction and development of disease entities. An important factor is the influence of probiotic bacteria on the etiopathogenesis of acne formation, reducing the amount of pro-inflammatory cytokines, as well as other skin diseases, such as psoriasis, allergies, and atopic dermatitis by reducing inflammation. The aim of the article to summarize the current scientific knowledge available regarding the use of probiotic bacteria in the cosmetology industry. Probiotics do not show carcinogenic effects, and even show a protective effect before their development and are safe to use. In cosmetology they show anti-aging, moisturizing, rejuvenating and protective properties against ultraviolet radiation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
