Resveratrol is used for skin either topically (serums/creams) or orally (supplements). Evidence for visible skin effects is stronger for topical use because the active is delivered directly to the target tissue.\n\nTopical best practices:\n- Stability: resveratrol can be sensitive to light/oxygen; opaque, airless packaging helps.\n- Pairing: it can be combined with vitamin C, niacinamide, or hyaluronic acid, but layering too many actives may irritate.\n- Timing: often used at night, or in the morning with sunscreen. SPF is non-negotiable.\n- Expectations: avoid “instant” claims; think antioxidant support and soothing with consistent use.\n\nOral use has more indirect and variable skin outcomes.\n\nBottom line: a stable topical resveratrol + daily SPF + barrier support is the most rational skin-focused strategy.
