Sensitive skin: Active ingredients on the spotlight

Marta S. Ferreira et al.

Summary: Sensitive skin cosmetic products commonly contain active ingredients such as niacinamide, oat, glycyrrhetinic acid and derivatives, and Laminaria ochroleuca, with a focus on reducing skin inflammation and enhancing skin barrier function. The scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of these ingredients and their mechanisms of action is limited, highlighting the need for further research in this area. Promising ingredients like niacinamide, panthenol, and acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester show potential for improving sensitive skin conditions but require more robust clinical studies for validation.

A resveratrol-loaded nanostructured lipid carrier hydrogel to enhance the anti-UV irradiation and anti-oxidant efficacy

Liu Miao et al.

Summary: Preparation of RES-loaded nanostructured lipid carrier gel (RES-NLC-gel) improved RES stability and accumulation in the epidermis. The gel effectively scavenged free radicals, protected skin cells from UV radiation, decreased expression of apoptotic proteins, and increased expression of survival proteins. Pretreatment with RES-NLC-gel reduced erythema, wrinkles, and scabs on mouse skin, decreased epidermal thickness, and increased antioxidant enzyme activities in skin tissue. RES-NLC-gel demonstrated significant anti-UV irradiation and antioxidant activity in vivo, showing great potential in skin protection.
