Resveratrol description

Resveratrol is a potent polyphenolic antioxidant found in red grapes, red wine, nuts, and fruits such as blueberries and cranberries. Applied topically, resveratrol helps protect skin’s surface and rebuffs negative environmental influences. Among its many significant benefits, resveratrol and its derivatives have been shown to visibly minimise hyperpigmented skin discolourations and slow down the process of photoageing in skin. Studies also indicate formulations with resveratrol can support healthy collagen and it is known as to be “phytoestrogen” ingredient, which can help with issues related to estrogen deficiency/menopause, such as crepey, lax skin. Additionally, resveratrol has skin-calming properties that may help minimise the look of redness. Resveratrol concentrations in skin care typically range from 0.5-1% when the goal is fading discolourations and reducing other signs of ageing; however, lower amounts (such as 0.04%) may be used simply to impart antioxidant benefits, especially alongside other notable antioxidants in a formula.
