The global microbiome skincare products market has embraced distinct approaches, targeting the skin microbiome on three different fronts: probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics. Skin’s microbiome can easily become unstable owing to a number of internal or external factors including pollution, sun damage, and irritating skin care products.

In both cases, the intention is to balance skin microbiota to enhance it. help protect against infection, aid in wound healing, limit exposure to allergens and UV radiation, minimize oxidative damage, and help keep the skin barrier intact and well hydrated.

Starting with face mists and cleansers to serums and moisturizers, there is a plethora of probiotics-infused beauty products available in the market today.

Challenges for Microbiome Skincare Products Market
The microbiome skincare products market is gathering a lot of eyes, mostly with numerous players taking their first strides into the market. However, the microbiome skincare products market is still in its infancy and needs to overcome some key challenges before being able to make the jump from a trend to an established vertical.
A major drawback is that claims and messaging are non-standardized and are often unclear. Different players will use different terms to refer to the same principles or even the same term to refer to different ingredients.
One challenge in the development of these skincare products is that each person may have a different need in terms of their skin microflora and that it is also inherently different in different body parts. Strong clinical evidence is also lacking around a lot of the claims being put forward by the companies in this space.
Studies either are not made publicly available, do not have the power or design to support certain claims, or are simply skipped by some companies before putting a product on the market with a series of positive claims.
For marketers, a lack of standardisation around claims muddies the waters when it comes to messaging. With the industry still in its infancy, this is matched with a lack of strong clinical evidence to back up such claims, meaning professionals at all stages of new product development need to consider and overcome this if they want to instill trust in their customer base.
There is a need for more validated, standardised, randomised control trials (RCT) studying the mechanism of action in probiotics research within the global microbiome skincare products market.
