Helps neutralize free radicals supporting collagen production, helping to even out the skin tone and preventing early signs of agingCamellia Sinensis Leaf ExtractCan contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulationAscorbyl GlucosideA vitamin C derivative that is more stable but less potent than pure form of vitamin C.
