In lab tests, Bifida Ferment Lysate (a fermented probiotic extract) boosted genes responsible for skin barrier strength and antimicrobial defense. It also showed strong antioxidant power, reduced inflammatory markers like IL-8 and TNF-α, and protected skin cells from oxidative stress.
Researchers tested BFL on human skin cells in controlled lab conditions (in vitro), measuring changes in barrier-related genes, antioxidant activity, and inflammatory responses.
