Photoaging is a process of the architecture of normal skin damaged by ultraviolet radiation. Topical cosmeceuticals have been used to treat this condition. The authors aimed to understand the mechanism and level of evidence of different commonly used cosmeceuticals used to treat photodamaged skin.
A range of commonly used topical cosmeceuticals (botanicals, peptides, and hydroquinone) has been used in cosmetic medicine for many years to treat photodamaged skin. This review article compares their efficacy and level of evidence.
This study was a systematic review to evaluate the efficacy of different topical cosmeceuticals. Keywords including "Photoaging," "Azelaic acid," "Soy," "Green Tea," "Chamomile," "Ginkgo," "Tea Tree Oil," "Resveratrol," "Cucumber," "Ginseng," "Centella asiatica," "Licorice Root," "Aloe Vera," "Peptides," "Argireline," "Hydroquinone," were typed on OVID, PUBMED, MEDLINE for relevant studies published on photoaging treatment.
Most of the evidence behind cosmeceuticals is of high-quality ranging from Level I to Level II. In particular, the evidence base behind peptides is the strongest with most studies achieving Level Ib status in the evidence hierarchy.
Topical cosmeceuticals like botanicals, peptides and hydroquinone can effectively treat photodamaged skin.
光老化是正常皮肤结构因紫外线辐射而受损的过程。局部化妆品已被用于治疗这种情况。作者旨在了解不同常用化妆品治疗光损伤皮肤的机制和证据水平。
多年来，一系列常用的局部化妆品（植物药、肽和对苯二酚）已在美容医学中用于治疗光损伤皮肤。本文综述比较了它们的疗效和证据水平。
这是一项系统评价，旨在评估不同局部化妆品的疗效。在 OVID、PUBMED、MEDLINE 上输入关键词“Photoaging”“Azelaic acid”“Soy”“Green Tea”“Chamomile”“Ginkgo”“Tea Tree Oil”“Resveratrol”“Cucumber”“Ginseng”“Centella asiatica”“Licorice Root”“Aloe Vera”“Peptides”“Argireline”“Hydroquinone”，以查找关于光老化治疗的相关研究。
大多数化妆品的证据质量较高，范围从 1 级到 2 级。特别是，肽的证据基础最强，大多数研究在证据等级中达到 Ib 级。
植物药、肽和对苯二酚等局部化妆品可有效治疗光损伤皮肤。
