AxisBiotix has launched Skin Clear: a first-of-its-kind daily supplement designed to help reduce blemishes and acne and create glowing skin from the inside out without the need or expense of topical skincare products.
Launching exclusively at Superdrug stores and online, Skin Clear uses both Vitamin C and Probioact Technology to support bacterial viability in the gut, improving skin clarity and function, blemishes and breakouts.
Grounded in robust research on the gut-skin axis (the scientifically recognised link between gut health and skin inflammation), AxisBiotix products work by reintroducing beneficial bacteria into the gut, helping to restore balance, support the immune system and improve overall skin health.
In an eight-week consumer study, participants took the supplement daily and rated their skin weekly against key factors such as severity of spots, pain and self-consciousness.
The results were compelling. Eighty-four per cent reported an improvement in their skin’s appearance, 77% noticed a reduction in pain and 62% felt less anxious about their skin.
AxisBiotix Skin Clear joins Skin Calm on Superdrug shelves, a product that has been helping people with issues such as psoriasis, dry or irritated skin for years.
The addition of Skin Clear to the range means people with a wider range of skin conditions than ever have access to AxisBiotix’s pioneering gut-skin science.
Dr Emma Wedgeworth, Consultant Dermatologist for AxisBiotix, said: “This is the next generation in skincare."
"Acne and blemishes are increasingly recognised as a complex inflammatory condition influenced not only by hormones and sebum production but also by the body’s microbiome."
"Disturbances in gut microbial balance can trigger systemic inflammation, which in turn may exacerbate inflammatory skin conditions such as acne.
“The formulation behind AxisBiotix Skin Clear is grounded in emerging microbiome science, using carefully selected bacterial strains shown to help modulate inflammatory pathways and support epithelial barrier function."
"By targeting these internal mechanisms rather than just the visible symptoms, this approach represents an exciting advancement in how we think about managing acne from a dermatological perspective.”
AxisBiotix’s consulting nutritionist, Charlotte Winter, co-founder of The Nutritional Biochemist, adds: “Diet and lifestyle play a critical role in skin health, particularly when it comes to maintaining a rich, diverse gut microbiome."
"The gut-skin axis may be positively impacted by good nutrition, hydration and healthy daily habits."
"While probiotics can provide extremely valuable, targeted support, their benefits are greatly enhanced and sustained when combined with a nutrient-rich, balanced diet."
"Skin Clear is designed to work alongside these positive choices — helping to promote a healthy gut microbial composition and support clearer, calmer skin from within."
"Whether you’re taking Skin Clear or Skin Calm, either can be easily stirred into a cold drink in the morning, such as your iced latte, to give you glowing skin from the inside out."
