Findings

EGCG, the most active compound in green tea, works as an antioxidant that fights free radicals linked to wrinkles, dark spots, and sagging skin. Research shows it can help with acne, UV damage, skin brightness, and even some conditions like psoriasis and alopecia—though most dermatology applications are still emerging rather than fully proven.
