Anti-Aging, Anti-Acne, and Cytotoxic Activities of Houttuynia cordata Extracts and Phytochemicals Analysis by LC-MS/MS

The researchers conducted in vitro anti-aging, skin-related antimicrobial, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), in vitro cytotoxic, and LC-MS/MS analyses to assess the in vitro anti-aging and anti-acne activities of Houttuynia cordata extracts (namely HCA and HCE), as well as their cytotoxic activities and phytochemicals. The results of this investigation demonstrated that the HCE has non-cytotoxic effects on immunological and skin cells as well as potential anti-aging and anti-acne characteristics. These findings suggest that the extract may be helpful in the creation of cosmetic and skincare products.
