Purpose of the Study:

• To review the link between oxidative stress and vitiligo.
• To describe advancements in targeted antioxidant therapy for vitiligo.
• To offer insights for developing new vitiligo treatments and drugs.

Main Methods:

• Literature review on oxidative stress in vitiligo.
• Review of current antioxidant therapies used for vitiligo.
• Analysis of research progress in targeted antioxidant treatments.

Main Results:

• Oxidative stress is confirmed as a critical factor in vitiligo development.
• Various antioxidants have demonstrated positive outcomes in vitiligo treatment.
• Targeted antioxidant strategies are emerging as a promising therapeutic avenue.

Conclusions:

• Antioxidant therapy is a significant research focus for vitiligo.
• Further development of targeted antioxidant drugs could improve vitiligo treatment outcomes.
• This review provides a foundation for future research in vitiligo therapy.
