Why do I need to eat yogurt continuously to keep benefits?

Eating reuteri yogurt has given amazing benefits for my skin. Clears up all my acne and oiliness. I didn't get any of the other benefits like muscle gain or loving kindness but that's alright. My skin looks amazing.

However, I'm wondering why my skin slowly goes back to normal when I stop eating the yogurt. It takes a few weeks but it goes back eventually. I'm surprised because I thought the L reuteri is supposed to colonize my gut and the benefits would persist but that doesn't seem to be the case.
