Understanding the Impact of the Skin Microbiome on Dermatological Assessments and Therapeutic Innovation

Original language description

The human skin microbiome, defined as a multifaceted ecosystem comprising bacteria, fungi, viruses, and mites, plays a pivotal role in maintaining skin homeostasis and regulating immune responses. In recent years, an increasing amount of evidence has illuminated the considerable influence exerted by microbiomes on the pathophysiology of dermatological ailments. This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of contemporary findings concerning the microbiome’s role in acne, aging, hyperpigmentation, and hair disorders, while also addressing the emerging concept of the gut–skin axis and how it could interfere in these skin disorders. Alterations in microbial composition, referred to as dysbiosis, have been associated with inflammatory processes and barrier dysfunction, thereby contributing to the severity and chronicity of diseases. Distinct microbial profiles have been identified as correlating with specific skin conditions. For instance, variations in Cutibacterium acnes phylotypes have been associated with the development of acne, whereas alterations in Corynebacterium and Staphylococcus species have been linked to the processes of aging and pigmentation patterns. Furthermore, the composition of the microbiome is examined in relation to its impact on cosmetic outcomes. It also engages with increasing interest in the modulation of microbiota through the topical application of bioactive compounds. The incorporation of prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics into cosmetic formulations constitutes a novel strategy aimed at enhancing skin health. In the domain of dermatological therapies, postbiotics have emerged as a significant class of substances, particularly due to their remarkable stability, safety, and immunomodulatory properties. These characteristics position them as promising candidates for incorporation into dermatological treatments. Recent studies have underscored the significance of microbiome-informed strategies within the domains of therapeutic and preventive dermatology, emphasizing the potential of such approaches to positively influence patient outcomes. As our understanding of this field continues to evolve, skin microbiomes are poised to emerge as a pivotal area of focus in the realm of personalized skin care and treatment. This development presents novel and innovative approaches for the management of skin conditions, characterized by enhanced specificity and efficacy. © 2025 by the authors.
