Resveratrol (Micronized)

INCI: Resveratrol. Micronised Resveratrol is a plant-derived polyphenol used in skincare as an antioxidant. It is a polyphenol commonly sourced from the skins of red grapes, berries, and Japanese knotweed. The "micronized" aspect refers to a technique that reduces the particle size of the ingredient, which enhances its solubility and bioavailability, allowing it to penetrate the skin barrier more effectively than standard resveratrol.
