Don’t let the name fool you—Japanese Knotweed is far from an invasive presence in your skincare. Also known as Polygonum Cuspidatum, this powerful plant has deep roots in traditional herbal medicine and brings a wealth of skin-loving benefits to modern formulations.
At Balanse, we use its resveratrol-rich root extract to deliver a boost of antioxidants, calming care, and natural protection—especially for skin that’s stressed, acne-prone, or showing early signs of aging.
Why It Deserves a Spot in Your Routine
- Antioxidant-Rich: A natural source of trans-resveratrol, it neutralizes free radicals, supports collagen health, and helps slow the signs of aging.
- Calming & Anti-Inflammatory: Visibly soothes redness and irritation, making it ideal for sensitive or reactive skin.
- Antibacterial Properties: Helps reduce acne-causing bacteria, making it a smart pick for blemish-prone complexions.
- Brightening Effect: Works to promote a more even, radiant skin tone over time.
Who It’s For
✔ Sensitive and acne-prone skin
✔ Mature skin needing antioxidant support
✔ Skin in need of soothing, brightening, and gentle protection
You’ll find Japanese Knotweed Extract in our Probiotic Gentle Cleanser, Advanced Protect Sunscreen, and Lacto-Cica Ampoule—each one formulated to restore, defend, and enhance your skin's natural balance.
