Skin Squad Pre+Probiotic
Skin Squad is formulated specifically for breakout-prone skin, combining 9 strains of probiotics with Konjac Root (prebiotic). It focuses on the specific strains like Bacillus subtilis DE111 which supports immune function and skin clarity.
Quality & Materials
Contains 40 billion CFU per serving. Includes L. rhamnosus (HN001) which has specific research regarding inflammatory skin conditions.
Evidence & Testing
The strains used have individual RCTs backing their efficacy for gut health and immune support, though the finished product trial data is less robust than Seed's.
Brand Transparency
Hum is Clean Label Project certified, meaning they test for heavy metals and environmental toxins, which is rare for affordable gut supplements.
Value Assessment
At $40 per bottle (often lower with subscriptions), it provides a high CFU count and targeted skin strains for a very competitive price.
Why Not Alternatives?
Unlike many shelf-stable probiotics, Hum uses a specialized validation process to ensure potency through expiration, and they avoid the 'kitchen sink' approach of adding unrelated vitamins.
