What to watch with Mikrobiom Test and Haut?

The link between the gut microbiome and skin health (gut-skin axis) is an emerging field, but the clinical utility of microbiome tests for skin conditions is still limited. A test may indicate dysbiosis associated with acne, eczema, or rosacea, yet standardized cut-offs and evidence-based intervention guidelines are lacking. Most evidence comes from observational studies and small intervention trials; large randomized controlled trials are absent. Diet, lifestyle, medications, and environmental factors influence the microbiome more than single genetic variants. Therefore, a microbiome test should not be used in isolation but as part of a comprehensive assessment. Be cautious of exaggerated marketing claims: no test alone can diagnose or cure a skin condition. Combining microbiome analysis with established skin biomarkers (e.g., inflammatory markers, sebum production) and professional medical advice is recommended.
