- The study evaluates the effects of Blue Lagoon (BL) algae on skin pigmentation, noting that the algae can improve skin barrier function and T-cell responses for patients with psoriasis, while also showing potential benefits for healthy individuals with uneven pigmentation.
- Researchers conducted in vitro gene expression studies on melanocytes and a noninvasive in vivo study with 60 volunteers to analyze the effects of BL algae serum on facial pigment spots.
- Results indicate that BL algae can significantly decrease the number of pigment spots in treated skin compared to control, suggesting its potential to improve uneven skin pigmentation in humans.
