Hello, this is Mary Plastic Surgery Clinic, always glad to meet you.
Today, let’s look at the anti-aging effects of polyphenols and melatonin, known as secrets to maintaining youth.

When you look in the mirror, do you notice changes in your skin and worry about things like these?
Fine lines and skin sagging are starting to bother me more and more.
No matter how good the skincare products are, my skin’s elasticity does not come back.
I feel tired more easily than before, and my skin tone has become dull.
Skin aging is a natural process everyone goes through, but
there are definitely ways to slow aging and keep skin healthy.
That’s where polyphenols and melatonin come in!
As we live, we are naturally exposed to free radicals.
Free radicals damage skin DNA and attack cells, promoting aging,
and the process that protects against this is antioxidant action.
First, let’s look at these two substances.
🔹 Polyphenols are representative antioxidant substances that help suppress free radicals and maintain skin elasticity.
🔹 Melatonin is known as the sleep hormone, but in fact it also has powerful antioxidant effects that help skin regeneration and boost immunity.
Polyphenols and Melatonin
How to Use Them Properly
✅ Polyphenols: Protect the skin with powerful antioxidant effects!
Polyphenols are found in a variety of foods, and consistent intake can
help improve wrinkles, maintain elasticity, and protect the skin.
✔ Foods rich in polyphenols
-
Berries such as blueberries, acai berries, and cranberries
-
Coffee (contains chlorogenic acid; however, consume 1–2 cups a day in moderation)
-
Red grapes, red wine (contains resveratrol; avoid excessive drinking)
-
Dark chocolate (70% or higher cacao content recommended)


According to research, polyphenols are said to play a role in preventing collagen breakdown and slowing skin aging.
In particular, the resveratrol in red wine has research findings suggesting that it is effective not only for cardiovascular health but also for improving skin elasticity.
✅ Melatonin: Skin regeneration along with deep sleep!
Melatonin is not just a sleep hormone; it is a powerful anti-aging ingredient that removes free radicals and helps skin recovery.
✔ Lifestyle habits that naturally increase melatonin
-
Reduce exposure to bright lights and smartphone use in the evening
-
Maintain a regular sleep routine (deep sleep between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. is important)
-
Consume foods rich in melatonin such as bananas, cherries, walnuts, and tomatoes
-
Use melatonin supplements to improve sleep (consultation with a specialist is essential)


If melatonin supplementation is insufficient, it is said that not only sleep disorders but also reduced skin elasticity, weakened immunity, and accumulated fatigue can occur. In other words, simply secreting enough melatonin may help maintain healthy skin.
To turn back time and maintain youth, there are really so many things to pay attention to, right?
Personalized anti-aging solutions that take individual lifestyle and skin condition into account are all different.
