Antioxidants for Skin

Antioxidant skincare features ingredients that help defend the skin against external stressors.

By neutralizing free radicals, they support the appearance of healthier, more resilient skin.

Pollution, sunlight, pesticides, alcohol, and cigarette smoke are a few factors that may contribute to free radical production.

Some of the best antioxidants for skin include vitamin C, vitamin E, green tea extract, niacinamide, and resveratrol.

These are often featured in antioxidant skincare products; each included for their ability to visibly revitalize and protect the complexion from external stressors.

Antioxidant skincare may help reduce the visible effects of everyday stressors, supporting a smoother, more radiant look.

By neutralizing free radicals, these ingredients support the appearance of healthier, more resilient skin and may improve the look of tone, texture, and fine lines over time.

If your complexion looks dull, lackluster, or uneven, antioxidant skincare may provide the support it needs.

These ingredients are often included in formulas that reinforce the skin’s natural defenses and may contribute to smoother texture and a radiant, youthful-looking appearance over time.

Antioxidant skincare may be introduced through targeted formulas such as serums, moisturizers, masks, or eye creams.

Popular options include vitamin C, vitamin E, ferulic acid, resveratrol, niacinamide, and green tea.

For those with easily irritated skin, formulas that combine antioxidants with soothing components, such as shea butter in our Chocolate Indulgence line, could be a suitable option.

For personalized advice on how best to pair these ingredients with the rest of your routine and avoid potential conflicts, we recommend consulting a professional.

Skincare with antioxidants may be applied both day and night.

The order of application depends on the formula. For example, serums are usually applied after cleansing, while moisturizers are typically used to finish a routine.

In the morning, antioxidants are often paired with SPF for added daytime support, while in the evening they may be layered with a moisturizer to encourage overnight renewal.
