Green Tea Extract

Known for its soothing, anti-aging, antioxidant properties, green tea is everywhere.

Green tea comes from the buds and leaves of the tea plant known as camellia sinesis.

The active components are polyphenols that are thought to benefit the skin due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties but what sets green tea extract apart is its caffeine and tannins which work by shrinking blood vessels and decreasing puffiness.

Green tea does double duty on your skin by working as both a protector and a corrector.

As a protector, it works as an antioxidant that scavenges free radicals caused by environmental stressors and can fight off DNA damage in skin cells by promoting DNA repair. As a corrector, green tea extract works hard to reduce sebum as well as fighting against hyperpigmentation, rough texture, fine lines, and sensitive skin which helps effectively fight acne, minimize the signs of aging, and soothe skin.
