Soaps that strip away microbes aren't good, but it may be too soon to try products that add bacteria back.
You may have noticed that antimicrobial skin cleansers have
disappeared from the shelves. In September 2016, the FDA ruled that
over-the-counter antiseptic soaps and wash products containing
triclosan, triclocarban, or 17 other antimicrobial agents could no
longer be marketed because their manufacturers didn't demonstrate that
the ingredients were both safe and effective in preventing the spread of
infections. Moreover, the widespread use of antimicrobials is thought
to promote the growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, like
methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which can cause infections that are difficult to treat and even life-threatening.
You may also have noticed some new sprays, creams, and lotions whose
purpose is just the opposite. Rather than eradicating microbes from our
skin, these products, called probiotics, are designed to aid the growth
of certain beneficial skin bacteria.
In theory, probiotic skin products make sense, says Dr. Suzanne
Olbricht, chief of dermatology at Harvard-affiliated Beth Israel
Deaconess Medical Center. She cites a growing body of research showing
how our commensal microbes — the native populations of bacteria,
viruses, and fungi that colonize our skin — enhance our health. "It's
time to stop thinking 'us versus our bacteria' and begin thinking 'us
plus our bacteria,'" she says.
Why probiotics have potential
Just as physicians are using fecal bacteria from healthy people to
treat intestinal disorders, so might dermatologists use skin bacteria
from people with healthy skin to treat chronic skin conditions. In such
cases, beneficial strains of bacteria multiply faster and leave less
room for disease-causing strains. There are a few small studies
indicating that probiotics may be useful in treating dry and sensitive
skin as well as acne.
Should you try them?
Although probiotic skin products are already available online and in
stores, many questions remain. Does any product have the right mix of
bacteria to treat a specific condition? Is it safe? Is it effective?
Manufacturers need to conduct randomized controlled clinical trials to
provide the answers. None have done so to date.
"We're just at the cusp of understanding this. Someday — maybe in
five or 10 years — we can wash our hands and apply some good bacteria to
protect our skin," Dr. Olbricht says. For now, for most people with
normal skin, plain old soap is still the best option. -Harvard Medical School-
