How is resveratrol different from other botanical antioxidants?

Resveratrol is a unique botanical antioxidant in that it has been shown to both directly search out damaging free radicals and also upregulate our cells to make more naturally occurring antioxidants. Interestingly also is that resveratrol is considered a phytoestrogen- it can provide the skin benefits of estrogen for anti-aging without the risks of estrogen.

For each of the following skincare ingredients, can you share how they also fight fatigue?

Glycolic Acid	Glycolic acid can stimulate collagen production as well as provide some chemical exfoliation to give the skin a glow.
Lactic Acid	​Lactic acid tends to increase the hydration of the skin. It works well to ‘trap’ moisture in the skin to improve its turgor and overall appearance.
Salicylic Acid	Salicylic acid is a chemical exfoliant that can shed superficial layers of skin to give the skin a glow.
Ceramides	Ceramides increase hydration and turgor of the skin and help restore the skin’s natural barrier to protect it from environmental stresses.
