Anyone taking a green tea tincture internally alongside your topical routine?
I've been formulating with green tea extract for a while. I'm currently using it in a toner and a lightweight serum, mainly for its antioxidant content and how well it works alongside other actives. I'm pretty confident in what it does when applied topically.
Lately, I've been thinking more about the inside-out approach and whether internal supplementation adds any meaningful benefits on top of what I'm already doing externally. Specifically, I'm looking at green tea extract in tincture or capsule form, with a focus on EGCG content.
The logic that makes sense to me is that topical application works locally on the skin, while systemic antioxidant support from an oral supplement works differently and isn't necessarily redundant. I'd love to hear from people who've actually looked into this or have firsthand experience, rather than just speculating.
