Skin Anti-Aging Strategies

Dear Colleagues,

Anti-aging is always in high demand as a skin care claim in the cosmetics industry. Therefore, research on skin aging and the development of strategies and technologies for anti-aging are of paramount importance. More classical approaches comprise mechanisms such as anti-oxidant and DNA repair, anti-inflammation, or extracellular matrix protection and replenishment. More recent trends are the role of the skin microbiome in skin aging, senescence and senolytics, exosomes, or the inclusion of the senses, and neurocosmetics, to name a few. Skin aging can have various causes, such as UV irradiation, pollution, or more recent climate change in general, but also stress and lifestyle, among others. In addition, regional variations and the distinct needs of consumers and ethnicities become more and more apparent. This Special Issue of Cosmetics is the perfect home for your original paper, review, or communication on past and future trends and strategies in the field of skin anti-aging research and development. It can contain reports on molecular pathways, biochemical mechanisms, as well as human studies and applications such as innovative formulations and devices. We are looking forward to receiving your submissions.
