What it is — Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract (INCI: Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract), a plant traditionally noted as a natural source of resveratrol-type compounds, is an antioxidant botanical.

What it does — It is commonly used as a source of antioxidants to help defend against everyday oxidative and environmental stress.

Typical use — It appears in serums, essences, creams and masks, usually as a supporting antioxidant botanical.

Who it suits / good to know — Suitable for most skin types. Antioxidants work as a supporting part of a routine rather than a standalone fix, and complement sun protection rather than replacing it.
