Exploring Microbial and Biophysical Aspects of Dry Skin: In Vivo Test of a Novel Skincare Formulation.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDry skin is a prevalent dermatological concern influenced by environmental factors and characterized by compromised skin barrier integrity. In addition to this, skin microbiota is involved and plays a crucial role in maintaining microbial flora balance. This study aims to investigate dry skin condition and microbiota then the efficacy of a novel skincare formulation (Nourish 3-Biotic Rich Serum) containing prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics in addressing dry skin symptoms and rebalancing skin microbiota. They are mainly microorganism lysate, together with fermented substances such as oligosaccharides, enzymes, and peptides, that support and provide nourishment to bacteria that live on the skin. MATERIALS AND
methodsSerum formula and serum placebo were tested in a single-blind study in which 20 female volunteers aged 28-65 with dry skin were enrolled. Several skin biophysical parameters related to skin barrier condition (stratum corneum water content, transepidermal water loss (TEWL), protein content), mechanical properties (R RESULTS AND
conclusionThis study highlighted that the product has proven to have a moisturizing action, exerts a cellular renewal action, improves skin firmness and elasticity, and reduces skin roughness. For microbial analysis, the main evidence is that both the placebo and the product help restore the skin microbiota but only the product increased the quantity of Cutibacterium acnes (one of the primary commensal bacteria of the skin) and was able to decrease the abundance of Pseudomonas koreensis usually associated with dry and rosacea skin with beneficial effects.
