Age-related changes in female skin microrelief (82 nonsmoking and smoking women at the age from 17 to 80 years) were analyzed by the use of VISIOSCAN VS 98. Measurements were taken on inner side of left forearm at the distance of 2 cm away from the bend of elbow. It was demonstrated that such parameters as relievo (V) and roughness (Ser) increased respectively by a factor of 1,23 and 1,50 times in average in group of smoking women of 17 to 28 years old as compared with nonsmoking women of age mate. The statistically valid differences were well documented using the representative samples. On the basis of the results of these studies we can conclude that smoking has a systemic effect on the whole-body skin.

Preliminary safety and in vivo efficacy of Acmella oleracea extract-loaded glycolipid emulsion serum-Effects on ocular irritation, dermal absorption, and facial skin biophysical and microrelief properties.

Objective: Substantial efforts have been progressively devoted to developing innovative, safe, and effective topical anti-aging products that not only improve the appearance of aged skin but also prioritize environmental sustainability and the responsible use of natural resources. Thus, the current study targeted to evaluate novel, natural emulsion/serum comprising new glycolipid emulsifier (lauryl glucoside/myristyl glucoside/polyglyceryl-6 laurate) and Acmella oleracea plant extract as a model active.
Methods: The developed serum was assessed concerning its stability (freeze-thaw test, accelerated study), safety (in vitro screening of eye irritation potential, dermal absorption study) and efficacy (randomized, active/reference-controlled, half-face, in vivo study).

Objective: Existing methods to evaluate skin care products suffer limitations. This is the case for ex vivo skin explants, a first-choice 3D model. While essential to analyse mid- to long-term biological effects, this classical model hinders assessing microrelief variations.

Article Synopsis
- Skin is impacted by psychological stress (PS), which can worsen conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and acne due to stress hormones like cortisol.
- The study investigates how moderate vs. mild chronic PS affects visible skin aging signs and cellular DNA damage.
- Results show that moderate PS leads to decreased antioxidant levels, compromised skin barriers, and greater signs of aging, indicating that chronic PS disrupts skin health and accelerates aging processes.
Three-Dimensional Bioprinted Skin Microrelief and Its Role in Skin Aging.

Skin aging is a complex physiological process, in which cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM) interreact, which leads to a change in the mechanical properties of skin, which in turn affects the cell secretion and ECM deposition. The natural skin microrelief that exists from birth has rarely been taken into account when evaluating skin aging, apart from the common knowledge that microreliefs might serve as the starting point or initialize micro-wrinkles. In fact, microrelief itself also changes with aging.

Article Synopsis
- Encapsulation and drying technologies are used to create new raw materials from plant resources, particularly for pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, with a focus on lipid-based nanoencapsulation.
- The study specifically aimed to encapsulate pequi oil into liposomes to improve its stability and enhance its skin benefits, like hydration and anti-aging effects, for innovative cosmetic uses.
- The physicochemical analysis showed that the developed liposomes were consistent and stable, and the final gel formulations enriched with dried liposomes significantly improved skin hydration and barrier function, highlighting the potential for new skincare products based on pequi oil.
