Bioactive Compounds for Combating Oxidative Stress in Dermatology

Abstract

There are extensive studies that confirm the harmful and strong influence of oxidative stress on the skin. The body’s response to oxidative stress can vary depending on the type of reactive oxygen species (ROS) or reactive nitrogen species (RNS) and their metabolites, the duration of exposure to oxidative stress and the antioxidant capacity at each tissue level. Numerous skin diseases and pathologies are associated with the excessive production and accumulation of free radicals. title altered Both categories have advantages and disadvantages in terms of skin structures, tolerability, therapeutic performance, ease of application or formulation and economic efficiency. The effect of long-term treatment with antioxidants is evaluated through studies investigating their protective effect and the improvement of some phenomena caused by oxidative stress. This article summarizes the available information on the presence of compounds used in dermatology to combat oxidative stress in the skin. It aims to provide an overview of all the considerations for choosing an antioxidant agent, the topics for further research and the answers sought in order to optimize therapeutic performance.

Regenerative Cosmetics: Skin Tissue Engineering for Anti-Aging, Repair, and Hair Restoration

“…In cosmetology, this molecule possesses additional several relevant properties such as regenerating α-tocopherol to protect against lipid peroxidation, reversing hyperpigmentation by inhibiting the tyrosinase enzyme [38] and enhancing collagen synthesis and processing {Nusgens, 2001 #106]. However, the list of prophylactic or therapeutic antioxidant agents in dermocosmetics is extensive and includes other synthetic and naturally-obtained bioactives [39].…”

Fabrication of a core–shell nanofibrous wound dressing with an antioxidant effect on skin injury

“…18 It is believed that oxidative stress plays a vital role in diabetic and chronic wound healing. 19 The body produces too many reactive oxygen species due to an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants, 20,21 which damages cells and tissues and slows the healing of wounds. 22–24 Antioxidant systems may help improve healing by lowering ROS levels and reducing oxidative stress-related damage.…”
