What Is Green Tea Extract?
It is a pure botanical extract extremely rich in antioxidant compounds, obtained from the carefully harvested, unfermented fresh leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant native to the fertile lands of Asia. One of the best-loved and most indispensable ingredients of Lacinia skincare formulations, green tea extract is a wonderful source of nourishment for the skin in polyphenols, catechins, amino acids and vitamins in particular. In the cosmetics sector and in beauty research it is often chosen as a unique component that nourishes the skin against the wearing effects of free radicals, supports the skin in gaining resistance to signs of ageing, revitalises the skin instantly and brings a natural shine. It is integrated into our formulas in its most effective form in our laboratories in order to make the skin look more rested, firmer and clearer. Every drop is a source of freshness for your skin.
Benefits in Skincare
Green tea extract is one of the most precious cosmetic ingredients nature offers for revitalising and refreshing your skin after the stress of city life and a busy schedule. With regular use it allows the skin to bring out its own natural radiance and present a brighter bearing.
- It refreshes the skin deeply, instantly reviving the dull look that carries the tiredness of the day and giving the skin a clear, natural radiance.
- With the high antioxidant support it contains, it nourishes the skin, softens the look of fine lines and supports it in taking on a more energetic form.
- By helping to establish the skin's sebum balance, it carries out the moisturising step without making the skin greasy or heavy, successfully balancing unwanted shine.
How Is It Used?
Lacinia cleansing gels, refreshing toners or concentrated serums containing green tea extract can be integrated very easily into both morning and evening skincare routines. Applied in your morning routine, it keeps the skin cosmetically refreshed against the environmental dust it will meet during the day; applied in the evening, it helps nourish the skin during its overnight rest and achieve a renewed appearance. You can sweep toner-format products gently over your whole face with a cotton pad after cleansing, and apply serum-format products directly with your fingertips using tapping movements. Do not forget to seal your skin with a moisturiser afterwards.
Who Can Use It?
It is a highly compatible active for all skin types wanting to moisturise without weighing the skin down, refine the look of pores and revitalise the complexion, oily, combination and oil-prone skin with unbalanced sebum above all. It can feature in the daily beauty ritual of anyone who from time to time complains of a dull, lifeless and tired complexion.
Points to Keep in Mind
Although it is a gentle, soothing ingredient generally very well tolerated by all skin types, a patch test before applying the product to the whole face is recommended in order to observe any possible reaction to the other plant components in the formulation. Formulated for external cosmetic use only.
