ABSTRACT:
A composition is provided to treat and/or prevent for treating skin conditions including fine lines and wrinkles, acne rosacea, surface irregularities of the skin and hyper-pigmentation melasma of the skin, which includes use of a topically applied composition such as an ointment, lotion, cream, serum, gel or pad applied formulation, containing an effective amount of polyphenols, such as green tea based polyphenols, including but not limited to catechins, such as epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), epigallocatechin (EGC), epicathechin 3-gallate (ECG) and epicatechin (EC). The formulation is preferably composed of 90 percent polyphenol isolates, derived from green tea with potent antioxidant properties, to assist in minimizing free-radical induced skin damage.
