Effect of Natural Products on Skin Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

Skin diseases are very common worldwide, and interest has been growing in the study of the effect of natural products on the treatment of skin disorders. Natural products have been extensively reported regarding skin disorders, exhibiting anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-microbial, and anti-cancer effects as the main therapeutic actions. This Special Issue will focus in detail on new active species obtained through upcycling techniques and green chemistry, with a special focus on sustainability or the circular economy.

The aim of the present Special Issue, entitled ‘Effect of Natural Products on Skin Diseases’, is to investigate the development of natural products as a promising area for the future discovery of the drug and cosmeceutical potential of these natural lead compounds against skin disorders.

In this Special Issue, we aim to collect high-quality articles on skin diseases, natural products, and the effects of natural products on skin diseases.

Different types of contributions, such as original articles, brief communications, and reviews, on the role of natural products on skin diseases are welcome.
