(Figure 4). These findings reveal the positive effects of red grape algae extract on the skin barrier, as evidenced by the level of skin hydration. Evaluation with VISIA-CR revealed a
significant decrease of 13% in the percentage of red zone area on the face after 28 days of using red grape algae extract serum. This finding indicates a notable effect of red grape algae extract in addressing skin redness, which is particularly useful for individuals with sensitive skin, thus highlighting the remarkable efficacy of red grape algae extract in enhancing the overall skin appearance and emphasizing its positive role in strengthening the skin barrier (Figure 5). Eventually, responses to a self-assessment questionnaire revealed that after continuous application of 2% red grape algae extract serum for 28 days, 100% participants felt satisfaction with its overall effects. Moreover, 90.63% participants felt it
could improve redness immediately; 93.75% participants felt it could improve redness phenomenon; 96.88% participants felt it
could achieve a moisturizing effect; 96.88% participants felt it could achieve a repairing effects; 96.88% participants felt it could enhance skin barrier function (Figure 6).
Conclusion Red grape algae extract, with its unique properties, has been proven as an effective active ingredient in the cosmetic industry by numerous studies. Growing awareness toward natural products because of their perceived lower harm has shifted consumer preferences from chemical-based cosmetics, which may cause skin irritation and lack environmental sustainability. Red grape algae extract can effectively
reduce redness, achieved by downregulating skin allergies and inflammatory responses. For individuals with sensitive skin, red grape algae extract exhibits powerful soothing effects, significantly reducing redness and soothe itching and burning sensations. Additionally, for individuals undergoing
medical cosmetic procedures, red grape algae extract not only soothes the skin but
