Blueberries (Vaccinium myrtillus) contain elevated quantities of antocianins which are coloured substances markedly protective against the fragility and permeability of blood vessels, especially peripheral (vasoprotective action). It is to the presence of tannins, on the other hand, that its astringent, anti-inflammatory, anti-reddening and antiseptic effects are due. Blueberry extract is particularly recommended for skin which is erythrotic and with couperose.
