L92
Lactobacillus acidophilus L-92
For Overall Skin inflammation
Alleviates Eczema, Dermatitis, Hives and Reactive Facial Flushing
Lactobacillus acidophilus L-92 is a heat-killed probiotic with well-documented immunomodulatory effects, particularly in allergic and skin conditions. L-92 works by shifting immune activity away from an exaggerated Th2–IgE-driven response and toward a more regulated, tolerogenic profile.
It reduces allergen-specific IgE production by downregulating Th2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13) and lowering thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC), a key signal that drives allergic inflammation and recruits inflammatory cells into the skin.
At the same time, L-92 enhances regulatory T-cell (Treg) activity and increases anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-10, helping restore immune intelligence to allergens. This dual action suppression of overactive Th2 pathways and strengthening of immune regulation reduces mast-cell sensitization and dampens the inflammatory cascade that fuels itch, redness, and barrier dysfunction in eczema.
ClInical Results
Eczema
Clinically, L-92 has been shown to significantly improve eczema severity when added to standard topical therapy. In a 6 month placebo-controlled trial in infants and toddlers with eczema and food allergy, only the L-92 group achieved a statistically significant reduction in severity scores compared to baseline.
The probiotic group also demonstrated meaningful biomarker improvements, with significant reductions in TARC and total IgE relative to placebo, confirming a reduction in allergic-type immune activation. The placebo group, receiving topical treatment alone, did not show comparable changes. Overall, the study indicates that L-92 provides measurable adjunctive benefit, improving eczema severity beyond what topical therapy alone achieved. [20]
