Red Seaweed-Derived Compounds as a Potential New Approach for Acne Vulgaris Care

Acne vulgaris (AV) is a chronic skin disease of the pilosebaceous unit affecting both adolescents and adults. Its pathophysiology includes processes of inflammation, increased keratinization, sebum production, hormonal dysregulation, and bacterial <i>Cutibacterium acnes</i> proliferation...
