Active substance
ozone exposure
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help us understand how air pollution affects skin health, potentially guiding future skincare or public health advice.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 40 healthy young adults, so results may not apply to everyone. It only looks at short-term effects, not long-term damage.
