Resveratrol

Resveratrol is most often sourced from red grapes but is also present in berries, pomegranates and even peanuts. It is naturally created by these plants as a response to environmental stress, such as insect attacks or intense sunlight, and is rich in antioxidants. In the human body, it is known to reduce the inflammation of blood vessels and improve circulation, decreasing one's chances of having a stroke or heart attack.Resveratrol is also thought to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and Alzheimers disease.

When it comes to its skin care benefits, resveratrol fights free-radical damage with its antioxidant power, minimizing the signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. That's why it is such a popular ingredient in beauty products for mature skin. Resveratrol may actually reverse damage done to collagen and elastin production due to sun exposure and minimize acne breakouts, too.

At Dermstore, we offer a full collection of skin care products that feature resveratrol, including facial moisturizers, eye creams, toners, serums and masks. To strengthen your anti-aging regimen, combine reservatrol products with retinols and other antioxidants. And don't forget to indulge in a reservetrol-rich glass of red wine every now and then!
