We investigated, therefore, whether the aerial part of P. thunbergiana, which is currently considered a waste product, has potentially useful skin-whitening effects.
*Tea Tree: May be useful for skin conditions like acne, insect bites and burns, and may counter fungal, yeast and bacterial infections.
PLGA collagen hybrid mesh may be useful for skin tissue engineering.
But it's useful on skin tones from dark to light — it was clearly tested on a wide variety of people.
It follows that nanoparticulate-based, topical delivery systems may prove useful as skin surface reservoirs from which controlled drug release over time may be achieved.
In this study, β-d-glucan-polysaccharides extracted from Ganoderma lucidum were incorporated in palm olein based nanoemulsions which act as carrier systems to enhance the delivery and bioactivity of these polysaccharides and could be potentially useful for skin care applications.
Synthetic fluorinated collagen-like peptides, incorporating 4-fluoroproline residues, bind tightly with mammalian collagen, and thus fluorinated-collagen-based biomaterials are potentially useful in skin grafting and restorative procedures.
Clindamycin may be useful in skin and soft tissue infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA); many strains of MRSA are still susceptible to clindamycin; however, in the United States spreading from the West Coast eastwards, MRSA is becoming increasingly resistant.
It is also useful in skin diseases.
This phenomenon is also useful for skin applications, since the increased viscosity assists in retaining the formulation in place.
Therefore, agents that might prevent precancerous lesions caused by environmental carcinogens or that possess UV-blocking, antioxidant, antimutagenic, and anti-inflammatory properties may be useful against skin cancer.
