They found that women who drank two glasses of non-alcoholic muscadine wine daily showed significant improvements in the elasticity and water retention of their skin.

'Our study suggests that muscadine wine polyphenols have potential to improve skin conditions, specifically elasticity and transepidermal water loss, in middle aged and older women.'
