O. Kuntze). They have garnered significant attention due to their diverse health benefits and potential therapeutic applications, including as antioxidant and sunscreen agents. Human skin serves as the primary barrier against various external aggressors, including pathogens, pollutants, and harmful ultraviolet radiation (UVR). Skin aging is a complex biological process influenced by intrinsic factors such as genetics and hormonal changes, as well as extrinsic factors like environmental stressors, among which UVR plays a pivotal role in accelerating skin aging and contributing to various dermatological conditions. Research has demonstrated that GTCs possess potent antioxidant properties that help neutralize free radicals generated by oxidative stress. This action not only mitigates cellular damage but also supports the repair mechanisms inherent in human skin. Furthermore, GTCs exhibit anti-carcinogenic effects by inhibiting pathways involved in tumor promotion and progression. GTCs have been shown to exert anti-inflammatory effects through modulation of inflammatory signaling pathways. Chronic inflammation is known to contribute significantly to both premature aging and various dermatological diseases such as psoriasis or eczema. By regulating these pathways effectively, GTCs may alleviate symptoms associated with inflammatory conditions. GTCs can enhance wound healing processes by stimulating angiogenesis. They also facilitate DNA repair mechanisms within dermal fibroblasts exposed to damaging agents. The photoprotective properties attributed to GTCs further underscore their relevance in skincare formulations aimed at preventing sun-induced damage. Their ability to screen UV light helps shield underlying tissues from harmful rays. This review paper aims to comprehensively examine the beneficial effects of GTCs on skin health through an analysis encompassing in vivo and in vitro studies alongside insights into molecular mechanisms underpinning these effects. Such knowledge could pave the way for the development of innovative strategies focused on harnessing natural compounds like GTCs for improved skincare solutions tailored to combat environmental stresses faced by the human epidermis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/antiox13121506","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,10]],"date-time":"2024-12-10T08:40:10Z","timestamp":1733820010000},"page":"1506","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Green Tea Catechins and Skin Health"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0476-8837","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xin-Qiang","family":"Zheng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Tea Research Institute, Zhejiang University, #866, Yuhangtang Road, Hangzhou 310058, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xue-Han","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tea Research Institute, Zhejiang University, #866, Yuhangtang Road, Hangzhou 310058, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Han-Qing","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tea Research Institute, Zhejiang University, #866, Yuhangtang Road, Hangzhou 310058, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lan-Ying","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tea Research Institute, Zhejiang University, #866, Yuhangtang Road, Hangzhou 310058, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jing-Jing","family":"Ye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tea Research Institute, Zhejiang University, #866, Yuhangtang Road, Hangzhou 310058, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jian-Hui","family":"Ye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tea Research Institute, Zhejiang University, #866, Yuhangtang Road, Hangzhou 310058, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1099-0875","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jian-Liang","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tea Research Institute, Zhejiang University, #866, Yuhangtang Road, Hangzhou 310058, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shi-Cheng","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wuzhou Liubao Tea Research Association, #18, Sanlong Avenue, Changzhou District, Wuzhou 543001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7889-1251","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yue-Rong","family":"Liang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tea Research Institute, Zhejiang University, #866, Yuhangtang Road, Hangzhou 310058, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"87","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-2494.2007.00415.x","article-title":"Intrinsic and extrinsic factors in skin ageing: A review","volume":"30","author":"Farage","year":"2008","journal-title":"Int.
