Grape Seed Extract

Grape seed extract has been proven to help wounds heal more rapidly and with less scarring. The extract increases levels of tenascin, a protein that helps build the connective tissue that appears as pink skin when a wound is healing.[5] The powerful antioxidant also enhances the formation of epidermal tissue so it is stronger and healthier after healing, and improves function of connective tissue.
