It’s no news that antioxidants are fantastic for our skin, and the most commonly known ones include Vitamin C, ferulic acid and vitamin E. Quercetin is less well studied, but worth learning about.
Quercetin is a flavonoid found in many plants, fruits and vegetables. It’s an antioxidant, meaning when used topically it helps protect the skin from environmental damage, like UV damage. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, and it’s been shown in studies to reduce signs of inflammation such as redness and puffiness.
