Resveratrol as an active ingredient for cosmetic and dermatological applications: a review.

Author information

Abstract

Resveratrol is now being increasingly used in cosmetology and dermatology. This polyphenolic phytoalexin present in large amounts in red grapes and berries has a number of scientifically proven health-promoting properties associated with a positive effect on the cardiovascular system, lowering the concentration of low-density lipoprotein, and the ability to inhibit the cyclooxygenases activity. Additionally, it has antiproliferative, anti-angiogenic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. Its popularity in cosmetology and dermatology is primarily associated with proven ability to penetrate the skin barrier and antiaging activity. It has been shown that formulations with resveratrol can stimulate the proliferation of fibroblasts and contributing to the increase in the concentration of collagen III. Resveratrol has an affinity for the estrogen protein receptors (both ERα and ERβ), thereby contributing to the stimulation of collagen types I and II production. Moreover, resveratrol also has the antioxidant properties, thus can protect cells against oxidative damage associated with the effects of free radicals and UV radiation on the skin by reducing the expression of AP-1 and NF-kB factors and it slows down the process of photoaging of the skin. This study reviews literature on the skin care properties of resveratrol and its dermal bioavailability, metabolism, and dermal safety of application.

I've used some resveratrol in a DIY skin cream, didn't notice much result. So far, hands down, the best cream I've made is DMAE, MSM, and copper peptides (GHK-Cu) in conjunction with LLLT. Interesting non the less, too bad we can't read the full study.

I use resveratrol in a skin cream.  It cleared up a skin rash prescription antibiotics could not  cure.  It also is effective against acne rosacea, and protects against sunburn, even after exposure.  No doubt there are studies to support some of these applications, but this is primarily based on experience.

What kind of cream would you use if you were to add resv? Would it suffice to add resv to just the CeraVe hyaluronic / ceramide cream? I added GHK-cu to it recently.

Thanks for sharing this. Can you please tell me, how you create this cream? Are you making it yourself? I am interested in trying this as well.

Thanks a lot!

The Ordinary brand makes a cheap Resveratrol serum. I like it.
