In skincare, it’s often used to help defend against environmental stress, support a brighter-looking complexion, and comfort skin that looks stressed or irritated. It can be a helpful addition to routines focused on dullness, uneven tone and early visible ageing—while still being suitable for many skin types.

Acne-prone skin: Antioxidant and soothing support can help calm the look of redness and irritation around blemishes and support a healthier-looking barrier.
Eczema / dermatitis: Can help support the skin barrier and comfort dryness and visible irritation (best used as part of a gentle, fragrance-free routine if skin is reactive).
Rosacea-prone skin: May help reduce the look of redness and sensitivity by supporting barrier strength and providing antioxidant protection.
Dry or dehydrated skin: Helps support moisture retention, improving the look and feel of skin texture and suppleness.
Uneven skin tone / dark spots: Helps brighten dull-looking skin and improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation and post-blemish marks over time.
Sun-stressed skin: Antioxidants help defend against oxidative stress from UV exposure, supporting a more even, resilient-looking complexion.
Signs of ageing (fine lines, loss of firmness): Supports collagen-related processes and helps protect against free-radical damage that contributes to premature visible ageing.
Sensitive, environmentally stressed skin: Helps shield against daily aggressors (like pollution) that can leave skin looking dull, tired or irritated.
