- Abstract
Skin aging is characterized by progressive loss of functionality and regenerative potential of the skin, resulting in the appearance of wrinkles, irregular pigmentation, a decrease of elasticity, dryness, and rough texture. Damage to the skin caused by oxidative stress could substantially be slowed down by the use of phytochemicals that function as natural antioxidants. Although phytochemicals have immense potential as anti-aging medicines, their effectiveness as therapeutic agents is restricted by their poor solubility, biodistribution, stability, and hydrophilicity. Given their improved stability, solubility, efficacy, and occlusive properties, nanoformulations have emerged as promising drug delivery platforms for phytochemicals to achieve anti-aging effects. The efficacy of these nanoformulated phytochemicals in suppressing enzymes that accelerate skin aging, such as collagenase, tyrosinase and hyaluronidase, as well as enhancing superoxide dismutase, catalase, and collagen levels to improve skin appearance during aging has been demonstrated.
