Functional components extracted from algal biomass are widely used as dietary and health supplements with a variety of applications in food science and technology. In contrast, the applications of algae in dermal-related products have received much less attention, despite that algae also possess high potential for the uses in anti-infection, anti-aging, skin-whitening, and skin tumor treatments. This review, therefore, focuses on integrating studies on algae pertinent to human skin care, health and therapy. The active compounds in algae related to human skin treatments are mentioned and the possible mechanisms involved are described. The main purpose of this review is to identify serviceable algae functions in skin treatments to facilitate practical applications in this high-potential area.
从藻类生物量中提取的功能成分被广泛用作膳食和保健品，在食品科学和技术中有多种应用。相比之下，藻类在皮肤相关产品中的应用却受到较少关注，尽管藻类在抗感染、抗衰老、美白和皮肤肿瘤治疗方面也具有很高的应用潜力。因此，本综述重点整合了与人类皮肤护理、健康和治疗相关的藻类研究。文中提到了与人类皮肤处理相关的藻类中的活性化合物，并描述了所涉及的可能机制。本综述的主要目的是确定藻类在皮肤处理方面的可用功能，以促进在这一高潜力领域的实际应用。
