Antioxidants not only help to combat the factors responsible for these visible signs – they maintain that desirable look, too.

Don’t get overwhelmed when you’re looking at the ingredients list, out shopping for skincare products. Look for these five antioxidants and you know that skincare product is one of the best.
Give your skin these five antioxidants through your skincare products
- Retinol
This antioxidant is found in many anti-ageing skincare products for its restorative powers. Retinol targets almost all complexion issues including uneven skin tone, bumps, enlarged pores, rough surface texture, lines, wrinkles and skin luminosity. Retinol is a leading ingredient in our skincare products.
- Green tea
Potent doesn’t sound like a word describing green tea, but it is. It’s a potent antioxidant when applied through a skincare product. Epigallocatechin-3 gallate (EGCG) is what gives this antioxidant its powers. EGCG helps defend the skin’s surface from the negative effects of the environment. It also gives your face that soft, smooth feeling. You can find green tea in many of our skincare products, including our eye serum.
- Vitamin E
A well-known antioxidant in many anti-ageing skincare products (including ours), Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that’s proven to protect and defend the skin from outside elements. You’ll find it in sunscreens because of its defensive role, preventing stress caused by UV light exposure. It’s in our skincare products like the Age IQ day and night moisturisers. Coupled with vitamin C, it’s anti-ageing properties double.
- Vitamin C
Speaking of vitamin C, this antioxidant diminishes the look of fine lines, wrinkles, dullness and uneven skin tone. It’s water-solubility is the key to a younger complexion and why we use it in many of our skincare products.
- Resveratrol
Found in red grapes, wine (cheers, ladies), nuts and fruits, resveratrol is the new antioxidant on the block. When applied through a skincare product, it brightens your complexion plus it’s also been known to reduce redness. It’s often found in skincare products like moisturisers and eye creams.
