Is Mikrobiom Test useful for Haut?

Whether a microbiome test is useful for skin health cannot be answered with a clear 'yes' at this point. Research on the skin microbiome is still emerging. There is evidence that microbial composition differs in conditions like acne, rosacea, and atopic dermatitis. However, standardized, clinically validated tests that provide actionable individual recommendations are lacking. Most commercial tests rely on correlations from small studies and are not approved as medical diagnostics. In the EU, such tests must comply with strict regulations (e.g., IVDR, AI Act) if they make health claims. Without CE marking and clinical validation, results should be considered informational only. A dermatologist can perform more targeted assessments for specific concerns. If you still consider a test, interpret results cautiously and avoid self-treatment. Evidence: mostly mechanistic and from small observational studies; large randomized trials are absent.
