Following its partnership with Belgian biotech company YUN NV last June, Bausch Health has launched the YUN ACN skincare line in Poland, offering probiotic and prebiotic formulations specifically designed for acne-prone skin.

The YUN Probiotherapy ACN range—including the ACN repair cream, wash gel, and micellar water—is now available in pharmacies across the country.

"We are excited to bring the YUN ACN probiotherapeutical skincare line to the Polish market," said Cees Heiman, Senior Vice President, Europe and Canada, Bausch Health.

"These next-generation dermatological products leverage groundbreaking microbiome science for natural and effective management of acne-prone skin. This launch underscores our dedication to bringing innovative, science-driven solutions to more people worldwide,” he added.

A recent study published in the scientific journal Cell Reports Medicine demonstrated the powerful effect of probiotics incorporated into a skin cream through microcapsules. The findings showed the skin cream with microcapsules containing probiotics significantly reduced pimples without any side effects.

"At YUN, we embrace good bacteria to support healthy skin. Our novel microcapsule technology keeps these helpful bacteria alive in our ACN skincare products, helping to naturally reduce pimples and impurities. This groundbreaking method offers a safe alternative to traditional ones," explained Ingmar Claes, Chief Scientific Officer, YUN NV.

Headquartered in Laval, Quebec, Canada, Bausch Health is a global, diversified pharmaceutical company with a portfolio spanning gastroenterology, hepatology, neurology, dermatology, dentistry, aesthetics, international pharmaceuticals, and eye health. The American-Canadian company markets branded and generic pharmaceuticals as well as over-the-counter (OTC) products in more than 90 countries, including the United States, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, and Latin America.
