A wide range of\n                    <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>in vivo<\/jats:italic>\n                    studies has demonstrated that ginsenosides exert diverse biological effects encompassing anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, wound-healing, and antitumor activities. Given the multifactorial pathogenesis of most skin disorders, the multitarget potential of ginsenosides renders them particularly promising for cutaneous diseases. In this review, we summarize the chemical composition and classification of ginsenosides, as well as recent advances in their application against major skin conditions, including psoriasis, dermatitis, photoaging, chronic non-healing wounds, and skin melanoma. Mechanistically, ginsenosides modulate multiple signaling pathways related to inflammation, oxidative stress, skin barrier function, and tissue repair, such as NF-\u03baB\/NLRP3, PI3K\/Akt\/mTOR\/MAPK, Nrf2\/HO-1, and TGF-\u03b2\/Smads. We also discuss the synergistic effects among different ginsenoside metabolites and their combined targeted interventions. Despite promising preclinical findings, challenges remain in clinical translation, such as low oral bioavailability and insufficient clinical evidence. Future studies should focus on novel delivery systems, precise target identification, and high-quality clinical trials to promote the development and application of ginsenoside-based therapies in dermatology.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fphar.2026.1783370","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,22]],"date-time":"2026-04-22T05:48:38Z","timestamp":1776836918000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Immunomodulatory functions of ginsenosides in skin diseases: molecular mechanisms and therapeutic prospects"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Donglin","family":"Yuan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, The Second Hospital of Dalian Medical University","place":["Dalian, Liaoning, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jiaxin","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, The Second Hospital of Dalian Medical University","place":["Dalian, Liaoning, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zian","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, The Second Hospital of Dalian Medical University","place":["Dalian, Liaoning, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yu","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, The Second Hospital of Dalian Medical University","place":["Dalian, Liaoning, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xue","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, The Second Hospital of Dalian Medical University","place":["Dalian, Liaoning, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhendong","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, The Second Hospital of Dalian Medical University","place":["Dalian, Liaoning, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Binbin","family":"Hou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, The Second Hospital of Dalian Medical University","place":["Dalian, Liaoning, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"116","DOI":"10.1111\/imm.13152","article-title":"Skin barrier immunity and ageing","volume":"160","author":"Chambers","year":"2020","journal-title":"Immunology"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"199","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpba.2017.12.011","article-title":"Metabolic analysis of Panax notoginseng saponins with gut microbiota-mediated biotransformation by HPLC-DAD-Q-TOF-MS\/MS","volume":"150","author":"Chen","year":"2018","journal-title":"J.
