This article contains a typographical error in the Introduction section,

“This spectral region penetrates the skin deeper that UVB (280–320 nm), readily reaching the dermal collagen and elastic fibres2.”

should read:

“This spectral region penetrates the skin deeper than UVB (280–320 nm), readily reaching the dermal collagen and elastic fibres2.”

Additionally, this Article contains errors in Reference 24, which is incorrectly given as:

Tewari, A., Lahmann, C., Sarkany, R., Bergemann, J. & Young, A. R. Human erythema and matrix metalloproteinase-1 mRNA induction, in vivo, share an action spectrum which suggests common chromophores. Photochem. Photobiol. Sci. 11, 216–223 (2012).

The correct reference is listed below as ref. 1.
