1) Skin Aging and UV Damage The topical application of creams with GREEN TEA 3505 extract improved skin elasticity, reduced wrinkles, and protected from the harmful effects of UV radiation (aging, burns, immunosuppression) in 5 clinical trials on 87 people. However, another trial on 40 women found it ineffective.
The results of trials using oral green tea polyphenols are mixed. These compounds had similar effects to topical preparations in 4 clinical trials on over 150 people but were ineffective in 3 trials on over 150 people.
