Curcumin / Curcuma Longa
Curcumin is a potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and tyrosinase-inhibiting brightener. Topically reduces inflammatory acne and hyperpigmentation. Systemically it is one of the most studied longevity compounds — applications in metabolic health, neuroinflammation, joint health and cardiovascular disease. Poor oral bioavailability; piperine (black pepper) enhances absorption by up to 2000%.
Topical extract 0.5–3% in masks or serums. Oral: curcumin supplement with piperine, 500–1000mg daily with food.
