ABSTRACT
The skin is exposed to many harmful factors. To remain healthy and good-looking, and to be able to resist or recover, balanced regeneration mechanisms are of great importance. One of these is called antioxidant capacity. What happens if the process of removing free radicals becomes saturated and the skin unbalanced? In this scenario, it is extremely beneficial to introduce antioxidants dermally. Resveratrol, a substance found in grapes and red vine, has been proven in vitro and clinically to have a high antioxidative strength. Not only does it play a major role in protection against UV radiation, it also demonstrates significant positive skincare effects in many skin conditions such as acne, wrinkles and pigmentation spots.
