Synopsis

Rating (out of 5): 3
Polyphenols are a diverse group of naturally occurring compounds found in plants, with well-documented antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties. Scientific research has increasingly explored the role of polyphenols in dermatological conditions, including dermatitis (such as atopic dermatitis and contact dermatitis). Several in vitro and animal studies have demonstrated that polyphenols—such as those found in green tea (epigallocatechin gallate, EGCG), resveratrol (from grapes), and curcumin (from turmeric)—can reduce inflammation, inhibit cytokine production, and improve skin barrier function, all of which are relevant to the pathogenesis of dermatitis. Small-scale human clinical trials have also been conducted. For example, topical green tea extracts (rich in catechins, a type of polyphenol) have shown some efficacy in improving symptoms of atopic dermatitis and reducing skin inflammation. Similarly, resveratrol has demonstrated anti-inflammatory effects in skin models. However, the majority of clinical evidence remains preliminary, with most studies limited by small sample sizes, short durations, or lack of blinding. While there is a growing body of scientific evidence suggesting that polyphenols may help manage dermatitis, the evidence is not yet robust enough to warrant widespread clinical recommendations. More large-scale, well-controlled clinical trials are needed to establish efficacy and safety profiles. In summary, the use of polyphenols for dermatitis is scientifically plausible and partially supported by early studies, but more research is needed.
