Bilberry Extract
Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit ExtractAntioxidant
Anthocyanin-rich berry extract. Antioxidant activity; supporting role rather than primary active.
What it does
Bilberry extract is high in anthocyanins, the same family of polyphenols that give blueberries their color. In vitro antioxidant activity is significant; topical evidence is limited but consistent with the broader antioxidant story. A useful supporting ingredient in AM serums alongside vitamin C and ferulic acid.
