What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Women aged 44–60 who used Mineral 89 Probiotic Fractions® along with topical tretinoin for 84 days experienced measurable improvements in their quality of life related to skin appearance and discomfort, as recorded by standardized dermatology questionnaires.

In women aged 44–60 using topical tretinoin, adjunctive use of Mineral 89 Probiotic Fractions® for 84 days significantly improved Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) and Skindex-16 scores, indicating a meaningful improvement in quality of life related to skin appearance and discomfort.
A moisturizing formula with specific minerals, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and vitamin E is applied to the skin. Hyaluronic acid pulls water into the outer skin layer, making it plumper and less cracked. Niacinamide stops inflammatory signals from spreading, reducing redness and stinging. Vitamin E neutralizes harmful molecules created by the acne medication. Minerals in the formula support the skin’s natural repair systems. The probiotic components shift the skin’s immune response away from inflammation by increasing a natural blocker of inflammation and reducing a key inflammatory trigger. This stops the cycle of dryness, burning, and itching, so the skin feels better and people feel less distressed by their appearance.
What the research says
1 studyWomen using a common acne/aging cream (tretinoin) often get red, dry, and itchy skin, which makes them feel bad about themselves. This study found that using a special moisturizer alongside the cream made those annoying side effects much better—and as a result, the women felt happier and less bothered by their skin.
