recently study It is published on International Journal of Cosmetic Science Local serum containing raw probiotics Micrococcus luteus Strain Q24, known as Blis Q24, can significantly improve multiple skin health parameters.
For more information on research from cosmetic and personal care product manufacturers and suppliers and their important takeaways, see CosmeticsDesign, Dr. Rohit Jain, Science Manager (Product Development) at Blis Technologies Ltd. I spoke with Dr. Jain (PhD).
Research overview and methodology
This study involved 96 participants with self-reported normal skin who had experienced occasional wounds and breakouts. Participants applied probiotic serum daily for 28 days and assessed changes in skin condition at intervals of 10, 20, and 28.
“By focusing on individuals with mild, everyday skin concerns, this study provides relevant insights for a wide range of audiences,” explained Dr. Jain. Participants included men and women with “normal” skin properties such as acne and breakouts, but excluded men with severe acne or other conditions.
Additionally, all participants maintained a consistent skincare routine throughout the study, including daily moisturizing. This standard, according to Dr. Jain, ensured that the findings “ensure that they can provide relevant insights to a wide range of audiences…[that] It can be applied to people who are already engaged in regular skincare practices. ”
Important findings: Rapid skin health improvements
As reported in this study, participants reported significant improvements in various skin conditions within 10 days. Compared to baseline measurements, acne and oily properties are reduced by 48%, wounds are reduced by 57%, dry areas are improved by 23%, redness or rosity is reduced by 45%, and flakes or coarse skin is reduced by flaky or rough skin. It fell by 38%.
By the end of the 28-day study, additional improvements include 38% reduction in thin lines and wrinkles, 41% reduction in whiteheads, 55% reduction in acne, and 29% reduction in age , and a 21% reduction in acne.
“Our research demonstrated that raw probiotics like the Blis Q24 can naturally colonize colonies in the skin and restore the balance of the microbiota,” says Dr. Jain. “It supports the skin as it returns to its most harmonious and healthy state. It is hydrated, resilient and does not easily become irritation or inflammatory.”
Participants also provided subjective feedback, pointing out many that probiotic serum met or exceeded their expectations and performed more than normal moisturizers. did.
The outstanding skincare market
What distinguished the Blis Q24 from other probiotic skincare ingredients is that it is a living probiotic rather than a postbiotic.
“Most “probiotic skincare” products on the market contain postbiotics, which is actually a by-product of probiotics. This means they lack the ability to actively interact with the skin microbiota,” he explained.
“Blis Q24, meanwhile, is a truly living probiotic that can be integrated into the skin ecosystem, providing support for the ongoing microbiota.”

Another important differentiator is the natural antibacterial properties of probiotics. “BLIS Q24 is the first skin probiotic known to produce antibacterial molecules, and it gives it a unique ability to inhibit the growth of particularly harmful bacteria. Cutiebacterium assana key player in acne formation,” Dr. Jane said.
The study also revealed that probiotics adapted to a variety of skin needs. “Participants with oily skin experienced rebalance, while those with dry skin had improved hydration,” he noted. “Men reported a decrease in hair hair, and some participants even observed improvements in acne scars.”
He said, “The findings highlight the beauty of probiotics that work with the body’s intelligence by supporting the skin in restoring natural balance regardless of skin type or concern. It has made it clear that it is particularly important.
BLIS Q24: Industry possibilities
For cosmetic and personal care products manufacturers, “This study says that living probiotics in skin care (which many in the industry consider to be too challenging) are not only possible, but also extremely effective. “We have demonstrated this,” says Dr. Jain.
He encouraged manufacturers to explore probiotic formulations, noting that Blis Q24 proved “to overcome these hurdles.” The findings “open exciting opportunities to innovate and create products that work harmoniously with the skin microbiome and in a truly dynamic way,” he added.
This research is also encouraging for the sustainable and environmentally friendly skincare market sector. “The Blis Q24 is grown using a controlled fermentation process that is essentially low waste and resource efficient compared to traditional synthetic skincare active,” explained Dr. Jain.
Additionally, the ability to support overall skin health may reduce the need for multiple skin care products and promote minimalist and sustainable routines.
Future research
While this study focused on individuals with normal skin and mild concerns, Dr. Jain looked at the wider potential applications. “Symptoms and psoriasis are often associated with harmful bacteria overgrowth. Staphylococcus aureuscan cause inflammation and damage skin barriers,” he said.
“The Blis Q24 works by crowding these harmful bacteria and restoring microbial balance,” and thus may help address these conditions in order to reduce inflammation and support stronger skin barriers. There is. The researchers will explore additional research focusing on individuals with specific skin conditions to further validate these findings.
“Consumers are used to hearing about probiotics in gut health, but applying them topically remains a relatively new idea,” concluded Dr. Jain. “That’s why education is important. Our clinical research demonstrates the real, measurable skin benefits, and this is just the beginning to unlock the possibilities of living probiotics in skin care. ”
