[quote=Anonymous]I've been trying this for a few weeks now. I use Primal Defense as my regular probiotic, so I already had it on hand. I've been emptying three capsules and mixing it into a very thick paste before applying it to my face. I've been keeping it on overnight. The mixture is very dark and thick when I apply it. PD is green and brown, like regular dirt, so the mask sort of leaves me looking like a contestant on a wilderness survival reality show. I also cannot not believe how awful the mixture smells. It smells almost exactly like vomit. I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this. Anyway, all that aside, it WORKS. I was amazed at how much less inflamed my skin was the first morning I washed it off. I know many people in the thread have tried it with cheap probiotics, but I don't think that's really giving it a shot. There is a wide, wide range of viability among supplemental probiotic products. You want to look for a company that has tested for how many strands of bacteria are still alive at the probiotics expiration date, not the date on which the probiotics are bottled. A lot of bacteria dies off quickly in the packaging process of probiotics, so if you tried this with a low-quality probiotic it is possible many of you were basically trying it with a placebo. There are plenty of high quality probiotics on the market - I'd try it again with one of those. This is an aside, but I know a few people who have been helped immensely in the acne department by the elimination of all dairy from their diet (this includes me!) Thank you, OP for posting this!![/quote]
