By reducing oxidative stress and modulating inflammation, resveratrol can help to prevent pigmentation irregularities. Studies in vitro indicate that it could also inhibit tyrosinase activity, the enzyme responsible for converting tyrosine into melanin. Although further studies are needed, early results are promising regarding resveratrol's depigmenting properties.

Resveratrol is not regarded as a photosensitising agent. However, when exposed to light, it can undergo photochemical transformations that lead to the formation of photosensitising species. It is therefore preferable to apply it in the evening.

Yes, it is also found in certain dietary supplements due to its systemic antioxidant properties. However, before beginning any course of treatment, we recommend seeking advice from a healthcare professional.
