This review found that chlorogenic acid—a compound abundant in green coffee beans—has multiple skin benefits: it fights inflammation by blocking inflammatory pathways, neutralizes free radicals that damage skin, and helps restore skin's natural balance. However, the researchers emphasize that while the science is promising, we still need more human studies to confirm these effects actually work on real skin.

Researchers conducted a systematic review, meaning they analyzed existing published studies on chlorogenic acid to summarize what's known about how it works in the body and its potential therapeutic uses.
