Fermented Tea Seed Oil Improves Hydration and Reduces Redness in Sensitive Skin

A four-week, half-face clinical trial in 25 young Chinese women found that a moisturizer containing 5% fermented tea seed oil improved skin hydration, redness, and measured wrinkle appearance. Treatment was also associated with broader changes in skin lipid profiles and selected microbial taxa, although the study did not establish causality or compare fermented with unfermented tea seed oil.
