Background: UV exposure causes physical and chemical damage. UV causes damage to the skin barrier physically due to the heating process. Meanwhile, chemically, UV causes the formation of oxidants which are responsible for the process of oxidative stress. Damage to skin cells causes loss of the body's natural barrier against various threats from microorganisms. Propionibacterium acnes is one of the commensal bacteria on the skin, which will produce products in the form of porphyrins.
