Prebiotics vs Probiotics: What’s the Difference for Your Skin?

You've probably heard of prebiotics and probiotics, but do you really know their roles, especially for the skin? These two terms are often associated, but their functions differ. We'll explain everything to you!

Probiotics: living allies for your skin

Probiotics are living microorganisms (like good bacteria) that act directly on the skin by promoting its balance and protecting it from external aggressions.

How do they work?
They strengthen the skin microbiome , this protective layer composed of good bacteria which fights against harmful bacteria, pollution, or even inflammation.

The benefits of probiotics for the skin:

• Reduction of inflammation and redness.
• Strengthening the skin barrier.
• Improvement of skin prone to acne, eczema or rosacea.

Prebiotics: Food for Good Bacteria

Prebiotics, on the other hand, are non-living substrates that serve as food for the good bacteria already present on your skin.

How do they work?
They allow these good bacteria to multiply and stay strong, which balances and protects your skin in the long term.

The benefits of prebiotics for the skin:

• Maintaining microbiome balance.
• Prevention of irritations and sensitivities.
• Protection against external aggression.

Probiotics or prebiotics: which one to choose?

Both! They work synergistically to maintain a healthy microbiome and glowing skin. While probiotics provide beneficial bacteria, prebiotics ensure they remain well-nourished and effective.

Ingredient Focus: Everything you need to know about niacinamide

Now, let’s move on to another skincare hero: niacinamide , also known as vitamin B3 . This versatile ingredient is a real treasure for all skin types.

What is niacinamide?

Niacinamide is a water-soluble form of vitamin B3 that acts as a booster for your skin.

The benefits of niacinamide:

• Strengthens the skin barrier : It helps reduce water loss and protects against external aggressions.
• Reduces blemishes : It regulates sebum production and helps minimize the appearance of pores.
• Calms redness and inflammation : Ideal for sensitive or acne-prone skin.
• Brightens the complexion : It reduces pigment spots and boosts the skin's natural radiance.
• Anti-aging action : By stimulating the production of collagen, it improves the elasticity and firmness of the skin.

Why is niacinamide perfect for Hydra-lyn?
