Food-derived active peptides (FDAPs) are a class of peptides that exert antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging and other effects. In recent years, active peptides from natural foods have been reported to improve skin photoaging, but their mechanisms have not been summarized to date. In this review, we focused on the preparation of FDAPs, their mechanisms of photoaging, and their function against photoaging through the gastrointestinal barrier. Furthermore, the latest progress on FDAPs in the prevention and treatment of skin photoaging via the gut-skin axis is summarized and discussed. FDAP...
