ImpactModerate impact

The discussion suggests the study could influence skincare routines or future research, but the overall perceived impact remains moderate rather than revolutionary.

Abstract in brief

  • The study examined how basic cosmetics affect the skin microbiome on facial cheeks in volunteers with different hydration levels (high and low), finding that hydration improvements, water loss, and skin roughness decreased in both groups after 4 weeks.
  • Bacterial diversity was higher in low hydration groups and increased after cosmetic use; specific bacterial groups like Propionibacterium, Staphylococcus, and Corynebacterium decreased post-treatment, while Ralstonia increased, suggesting different metabolic roles, especially in processing cosmetic components.
  • Overall, cosmetic use changed the bacterial communities distinctly in both hydration groups, and these changes did not make the microbiome of low hydration skin resemble that of high hydration skin, indicating that hydration level influences microbiome response to cosmetics.]
