Abstract | Metformin has shown multiple effects beyond its widely known antidiabetic effect. Impressively, it has already been proposed as an anti-aging factor. However, the potentially protective role of metformin in skin aging, the most common manifestation of aging, is not well examined. Existing evidence based on experimental studies suggests a potential anti-aging effect on skin. Proposed molecular skin anti-aging mechanisms of metformin include mainly reduction of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) (p65) activity. Moreover, metformin appears to inhibit ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Nonetheless, data is still limited, and so more studies are needed. Importantly, we need more studies conducted in humans to further examine this interesting potential. Until then, whether oral administration of metformin or local use of the agent could be used to delay skin aging remains to be answered. |
