Ever wonder how a simple skincare gel rewrites the whole microbial script on your face? In this episode, we break down a 2024 study from the Journal of Dermatologic Science and Cosmetic Technology that explores how 15% azelaic acid gel doesn’t just fight acne—it reshapes the skin microbiome! 🧬✨
I’m Steven Christian—your friendly neighborhood MD/PhD student, medical illustrator, and creator of Cütie Catcherz, an augmented reality comic where battling acne gets turned into a magical adventure full of metaphor, monsters, and microbiome mayhem.
This episode uncovers:
How acne-prone skin has microbial imbalance (aka Cütie Clouds)
Why azelaic acid boosts good bacteria like Lactobacillus while dialing down troublemakers
The real-life science behind Cütie Catcherz tools like “Probiotic Pods” and “Serenity Mist”
Why balance—not brute force—is the secret to healthy skin
This isn’t just about zapping zits. It’s about healing ecosystems, inside and out.
