Antioxidants and Aging Skin: What the Research Actually Shows
Antioxidants are one of the most talked-about categories in anti-aging skincare, and for good reason — but the research supporting them is more specific than most marketing copy suggests.
What antioxidants actually do
Skin is exposed daily to UV light and environmental pollutants, both of which generate reactive oxygen species (free radicals) that can damage collagen and accelerate visible signs of aging. Topical antioxidants are studied for their ability to help neutralize some of that oxidative stress before it does damage.
Green tea's EGCG catechins
Green tea extract is rich in a class of polyphenols called catechins, the most studied of which is EGCG. Laboratory and some human studies suggest these compounds may help protect skin from UV-related oxidative stress, though most of this research is early-stage.
Resveratrol from grapeseed
Resveratrol is a compound found in grape skins and seeds, studied for its potential role in activating cellular defense pathways. Topical formulations are a newer area of research compared to resveratrol's more established dietary research.
