Bioactives From Probiotic For Dermal Health Upon Physical Treatments

Lactobacilli and bifidobacteria are the most common genera of probiotics with documented potentials on gut health. Recent studies suggested that such potentials can be extended beyond gut well-being, such as that of dermal health. This study was aimed to evaluate the production of bioactives t...
