| Article Title: | Current trends in photoprotection - A new generation of oral photoprotectors |
| Abstract: | This review provides an overview of important concepts and trends in photoprotection. From the use of protective clothing to latest-generation oral photoprotectives, this article covers these topics from two points of view: 1) the physical blockade (absorption and/or reflection) of UV photons by topical sunscreens; 2) topical compounds with antioxidant properties that thereby protect of the consequences of UV-mediated photooxidation. The last section is devoted to the development of strong antioxidant oral compounds and discusses their possibilities as adjuvants in skin protection and repair and regeneration. © Gonzalez et al. |
