Looking for the best antioxidants to enhance your complexion? Here are the top antioxidants you’ll find in skincare products.

Vitamin C

This powerful anti-inflammatory ingredient improves your skin tone and texture, restores moisture and minimizes signs of aging. Vitamin C can also brighten your complexion and protect your skin from damaging free radicals and UV rays.

NIACINAMIDE (VITAMIN B3)

If you struggle with skin conditions like acne or rosacea, this antioxidant is for you. It reduces redness and soothes breakouts by fighting inflammation. Niacinamide is also known for improving the skin barrier and reducing signs of aging.

RESVERATROL

There’s a reason this antioxidant is called the “longevity molecule;” its exceptional anti-aging and reparative properties safeguard your skin from free radical damage. Resveratrol also soothes your skin by reducing inflammation and fighting off bacterial and fungal infections.

Vitamin E

Known for its ability to speed up the healing process, Vitamin E is often found in lotions, creams and moisturizers. It also helps stabilize other antioxidants to improve their effectiveness which is why skincare providers often pair Vitamin E with other antioxidants.

Retinol (Vitamin A)

Famous for its anti-aging abilities, retinol’s small molecular size allows it to penetrate deep into your skin. As it fosters collagen production and new cell growth, this antioxidant eliminates fine lines, wrinkles and discoloration while firming and tightening your skin.

Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinone)

While your body naturally produces coenzyme Q10, this process slows down over time, leaving you susceptible to wrinkles and sagging skin. By applying this antioxidant to your skin, it scares off free radicals, accelerates collagen production and enhances your skin texture.

Antioxidants

You’ll find these amazing antioxidants in cleansers, serums, eye creams and moisturizers. As you add more antioxidants to your skincare routine, you’ll have a brighter and younger-looking complexion.
