Acne affects 85% of teenagers, yet it is far less common in communities living traditional outdoor lifestyles, and virtually non-existent in hunter-gatherer societies.
Why is this the case?
In this webinar, we will explore acne through the lens of the skin microbiome, uncovering the root causes of this persistent condition, including microbial imbalances. We’ll also discuss how a biotherapeutic approach can restore balance to the skin’s microbiome, offering effective, long-term solutions without the unwanted side effects of traditional treatments.
Join us to discover a new, science-backed way to support clear, healthy skin.
