EGCG / Epigallocatechin Gallate / Camellia Sinensis
Rich in catechins, primarily EGCG — a potent free-radical scavenger, anti-inflammatory, and mild androgen receptor inhibitor relevant to sebum reduction. Topical EGCG reduces sebum, calms inflammatory acne, provides UV photoprotection, and inhibits MMP activity that degrades the dermal matrix.
Topical 0.1–1% EGCG in serums, toners or moisturisers, AM and/or PM. Well-tolerated by all skin types.
