Findings

After 28 days of twice-daily use, this fermented probiotic complex significantly reduced irritation-causing bacteria (Cutibacterium and Malassezia) on sensitive scalps while boosting beneficial bacteria. All 100% of participants reported their scalp sensitivity symptoms improved, though this was based on self-assessment rather than clinical measurement.
