Polyphenols From the Most-Studied Plant in Skincare
Camellia sinensis — the same plant behind green, black, and white tea — is rich in catechins, of which EGCG is the most discussed. In a topical formula those polyphenols act as antioxidants and are associated with the look of calmer, less reddened skin. That dual role explains where brands place it: in antioxidant serums, to broaden free-radical defense beyond vitamins C and E, and in sunscreens and tinted moisturizers, where daytime environmental exposure is the whole point.
It appears in Alastin Skincare C-Radical Defense Antioxidant Serum, Revision Skincare Intellishade Original SPF 45, Obagi360 Retinol 0.5%, and CALECIM Professional Pigment Solution.
Does green tea extract help with the appearance of redness?
It is widely used in formulas aimed at exactly that, and skin often looks more even-toned with regular use — though it is not a treatment for rosacea or any diagnosed condition.
