Study Summary

The study is to compare the expression of both keratin 16 and 17 before and after application of sulforaphane on both photoprotected and photoexposed area, and to determine whether these findings alter skin aging as well as skin response to ultraviolet (UV) and visible light exposure.

Primary Outcome

The investigators will detect the presence of keratin 16 in the basal layer of the epidermis in both photoprotected and photodamaged skin treated with sulforaphane (SF), by immunofluorescence assay, to determine whether SF can improve skin fragility and other features seen in these conditions
