Epigallocatechin Gallate …

This ingredient combines several active components: epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a polyphenol derived from green tea; biotin, a B-complex vitamin; collagen, a structural protein; and mouse fibroblast conditioned media, a cell-culture derived ingredient containing growth factors and proteins produced by skin cells in laboratory conditions.Together, these components are designed to work synergistically on skin firmness, elasticity and overall appearance. The formulation targets multiple pathways involved in skin ageing, though each component contributes differently to the overall effect.

Helps with Anti-Ageing

EGCG works as an antioxidant, reducing oxidative stress that accumulates in skin over time. Biotin supports keratin and collagen synthesis at the cellular level. The collagen component provides structural scaffolding, whilst fibroblast conditioned media delivers a range of growth factors and signalling molecules that communicate with skin cells to support their natural repair and renewal processes.This multi-mechanism approach means the ingredient targets ageing from several angles simultaneously, rather than relying on a single pathway.

Apply to clean, dry skin as part of your routine, typically in a serum or cream format. These multi-component blends often work best with consistent use over several weeks to allow cellular changes to accumulate. Layer with other active ingredients thoughtfully, as combining too many actives may irritate sensitive skin or reduce efficacy.

Generally well-tolerated in most skin types. EGCG and biotin are established safe cosmetic ingredients. Those with very sensitive skin or active inflammatory conditions should introduce gradually. No significant cautions reported, though patch testing is advisable before full facial application.
