Antioxidant serums are an essential part of any skincare regime, helping fight free radicals which cause damage to cells and DNA and accelerate the aging process.
Ferulic acid can help strengthen and increase the effects of vitamin C products, according to Dr. Gmyrek. Ferulic acid helps stabilize and enhance its effects.
1. The Ordinary Resveratrol 3% + Ferulic Acid 3%
Resveratrol is an antioxidant responsible for making wine beneficial (in moderation, of course). Red grapes and dark berries produce it naturally to protect themselves against UV radiation, but when applied topically it can do the same for skin.
Shamban notes that resveratrol has skin-calming properties to minimize redness and inflammation. Furthermore, it helps brighten skin tone and texture as well as provide moisture to prevent dryness. Finally, its moisturizing benefits also make resveratrol an invaluable solution.
Ferulic acid is an exceptional antioxidant, known for reducing sun damage and amplifying vitamin C’s effectiveness. This serum combines these powerful elements into one easy formula with no additional water, oils or silicones added.
Propanediol, a solvent used to dissolve other ingredients within the serum and make them easier for skin absorption, serves as both an absorbent and mild humectant that keeps skin hydrated without feeling oily. Use it alone or combine with The Ordinary’s Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% for maximum effect.
2. Eau Thermale Avene A-Oxitive Antioxidant Defense Serum
Product Details, such as our Protective Antioxidant Serum, help prevent skin aging, dull complexions and signs of fatigue – like lack of radiance, fine lines and uneven tone – from occurring. It features an advanced complex of time-released Vitamin C and E precursors, enhanced with an extremely effective antioxidant booster to neutralize free radicals and help delay signs of oxidative stress. This fast-absorbing serum not only visibly plumps skin to preserve a younger and brighter complexion, it is also hypoallergenic with anti-pollution texture to provide daily protection from environmental aggressors (similar to 15% pure vitamin C). Furthermore, this product does not contain parabens, phthalates or mineral oil and instead uses Avene Thermal Spring Water Glycerin Isododecane Pentylene Glycol Artemia Extract tested on sensitive skin for maximum efficacy.
Apply daily and evening, on freshly cleansed skin. Avoiding the eye area.
