Ingredient overview

What is Green Tea?

Green tea comes from Camellia sinensis and is rich in polyphenols, particularly catechins such as EGCG. These compounds are studied for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, making green tea a common ingredient in products aimed at environmental stress, oiliness and skin comfort.

Topical green-tea research is promising for photoaging-related outcomes, although studies vary in extract type, concentration and formulation. Green tea should complement, not replace, daily broad-spectrum sunscreen when the goal is protection from ultraviolet-related skin damage.

Routine guidance

How to use it

Green-tea toners, serums and moisturizers can be used morning or evening. In daytime routines, follow with sunscreen.

Pairing guidance

Routine compatibility

Green tea is generally compatible with niacinamide, vitamin C, retinoids, salicylic acid and hydrating or barrier-support ingredients.

Formula context matters

Good to know

Extract strength and catechin content vary considerably between formulas, so a green-tea ingredient name alone does not predict clinical effect.
