Repair.
In my quest for good effective products at a reasonable price, this one from my Dr. Lauren Greenberg skin care line is good for antioxidants and to decrease redness.
This specially made product has three important ingredients:
Green tea.
Easy description of green tea : Antioxidants. What does it do? Aids in improving fine lines, wrinkles and pore size. It is nti inflammatory which calms and cools the skin and decreases redness.
Medical stuff:90% polyphenol isolates. This is the active ingredient in green tea –contains egcg (epigallocatechin 3 gallate). Antioxidants counteract the effects of free radicals so they cant cause harm.”analysis of published studies demonstrates that green tea polyphenols have anti inflammatoryand anticarcinogenic properties.”. Archives of Dermatology 2000; 136; 989-994.
Resveratrol, an ultra-powerful antioxidant therapy.
Resveratrol, an antioxidant polyphenol from red wine, has been the subject of intense interest in recent years due to a range of unique anti-aging properties. These include cardiovascular benefits, possible benefits on Alzheimer’s, phytohormonal actions, anticancer properties, antimicrobial effects, and sirtuin activation(which is believed to be involved in the caloric restriction-longevity effect). Here we report a resveratrol-based skin care formulation, with 17 times greater antioxidant activity than idebenone. The role of resveratrol in prevention of photoaging is reviewed. Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2008 March.
Caffeine USP to deliver enhanced antioxidant benefits.
Caffeine enhances the antioxidant properties of the green tea and acts like a topical vasoconstrictor which reduces redness. And the combination of Green Tea Polyphenols and caffeine has been clinically demonstrated to promote positive apoptosis stimulating new cell growth.
