Evidence by route

Topical application

Weak evidence. In vitro data, open-label studies, or expert consensus.

Pilot studies and in vitro research show antioxidant and anti-aging potential, but large independent RCTs are lacking. Molecular stability in cosmetic formulas remains an issue: oxidized resveratrol loses activity.
