S01 E11 – Best Probiotics for Acne (And Why They’re Not a Magic Bullet)
Probiotics are like a super tool for our health (and skin!), but figuring them out can be a bit tricky! It’s all about understanding what works best for you. In this episode, we take a deep dive into the fascinating world of probiotics, and we’ll show you why choosing the right ones and tailoring them to your needs is the real game-changer for your gut!
In this week’s episode, we discuss…
- Why identifying the right probiotic for your requirements can enhance your gut health.
- The role and value of colony forming units (CFUs) in making an informed probiotic choice.
- Aligning particular gut issues with matching probiotic strains for optimal health.
- The practitioner-grade brands we use most often with clients in The Clear Skin Solution.
- The power of prebiotic and probiotic-rich foods for supporting optimal gut health.
Probiotics are not a magic bullet for your gut. They are not a magic bullet for acne. But they will be a very important tool in your acne-clearing toolbox.

Let's finally get you back to clear, glowing skin.
Acne goes deeper than just the surface—it's a sign of internal imbalances. That’s why prescriptions, medicated creams, and high-end facials don’t deliver lasting results. True skin clarity comes from an inside-out approach, and we're here to support you every step of the way.

"I just wanted to let you know that this program works!!!
I have never struggled with acne but then I turned 21 and then I broke out all over my fave. I never wanted to go anywhere and didn't want to talk to anybody. I became very depressed and angry. There were times I wanted to quit the program because I felt like nothing was working! By the grace of God, He got me through and I am healed! I just wanted to encourage everyone to keep going!!! You got this! Don't give up! Good things are coming!"

"I actually enjoy the look of my face with less make-up."
I used to wear a lot of powder and concealer to cover the break out areas, as well as to hide my scars. Both my breakouts and scars are lessening in amount and redness!!
