EGCG: One Of The Best Things You Can Do For Your Skin

EGCG: One Of The Best Things You Can Do For Your Skin

Posted By Mariana

EGCG, which stands for Epigallocatechin Gallate, is a type of plant-based polyphenol compound called catechin. These compounds are potent antioxidants that are superior free-radical fighters, which can protect the skin against cellular damage.

What are the skincare benefits of EGCG?

EGCG is one of nature's most powerful antioxidants and is proven to have a significant impact on our skin's healing processes.

EGCGs are commonly found in green tea and some berries, but topically you can find the ingredient in several medical-grade skincare lines. Here is a list of products that contain this potent antioxidant.

EGCG is anti-androgenic and lowers lipid levels. This makes it effective at reducing sebum excretions in the skin. By reducing sebum, EGCG can slow or stop the development of acne.

Drinking green tea and applying it to your skin can help your skin handle the aging process better.

  • A small 2005 studyTrusted Source of 80 women showed an improvement of skin elasticity in participants treated with a combination regimen of topical and oral green tea.
  • A long-term 2013 studyTrusted Source of 24 people showed that skin damage caused by sun exposure was reduced with the topical application of cosmetics containing green tea extract. Researchers suggested cosmetic formulations including green tea extract have improved skin microrelief and have pronounced moisturizing effects.

How to Incorporate EGCG Into Your Routine




EGCG is gentle, non-toxic, and considered a safe ingredient for all skin types. Just like many other antioxidants, its best to apply EGCG products in the morning. When you apply (creams or serums) its best to apply after cleansing and toning. After applying EGCG you can apply your sunscreen and makeup and then face the day. If youre not sure where to start, here are some awesome products for you to check out.
