⁠Want to know what one of the biggest (yet most overlooked) acne triggers is? Constipation. 💥 When you’re not having regular, healthy bowel movements, waste—including excess hormones, toxins, and inflammatory compounds—hangs around in the colon longer than it should. And when your body can’t eliminate efficiently through stool, it may try to detox through your skin instead. This is where the gut-skin connection really comes into play. The skin becomes a backup elimination organ when your primary detox pathways are sluggish. That can look like breakouts, especially along the jawline and cheeks, dull or congested skin, and even increased oil production. Constipation also contributes to gut dysbiosis, which fuels systemic inflammation and can lead to things like leaky gut, another root cause that can trigger or worsen acne. So if you’re dealing with persistent breakouts and you’re not going daily (or fully), don’t overlook the gut. For these reasons, we thoughtfully formulated our probiotic with selected science-backed strains that have been shown to support not only gut health and integrity, but happy skin too. A majority of our probiotic strains come from the Lactobacillus genus, which means they are lactic-acid producing bacteria (yes, the same lactic acid found in expensive peels and serums).
