Objectives: Keywords: Red algae, Chondrus crispus, skin quality improvement, supplementation, uniformity, pores, oiliness, wrinkles Introduction: • Skin aging is a physiological decline that occurs over time, altering the skin's appearance, texture, structure, and functionality. • Red algae is a rich source of proteins, polyphenols, essential amino acids, carotenoids, vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids. They possess high anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which help reduce oxidative stress, neutralize free radicals, and prevent damage caused by UV radiation. Results: • The treatment was well tolerated by all patients, and no side effects were observed during the study period. • Questionnaires applied before and after treatment showed high patient satisfaction, with reports of visible skin improvement and increased self-esteem. • Objective analysis demonstrated improvement in all evaluated parameters. • Supplementation with the red algae Chondrus crispus shows strong potential for improving overall skin quality, particularly pores, uniformity, wrinkles, and oiliness.
