Anti-Aging and Wrinkles: 1 Antioxidants

Size:  1 oz.

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

This antioxidant is loaded with the good stuff.  Vit C in the form of Ascorbyl glucoside (stabilized form of L-ascorbic so it doesn't deteriorate with time), Vit E to also stabilize the Vit C, green tea extract, and ferulic.  All are natural and hydroquinone free.

The pigment fighter I recommend is the 5-Point Brightener & Pigment Serum.  This serum goes under the Triple Antioxidant Serum, if you have pigment problems like melasma or brown spots.

The goal of MadisonMD is to produce skin care products for active lifestyles, focused on wellness, skin health & beauty, at a good price point.

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

Ok.....so the SC antioxidants have been market leaders for some time, but they have not innovated in the past 15 years so I think there better products out there now.  Also these still have propylene glycol in them - sheesh - now in the top 20 of causing allergic reactions. 

So....I'm biased now toward the product that we created.  Better form of Vit C, less expensive, and no propylene glycol or other irritants.

 An antioxidant, this is a non irritating Vitamin C lotion that's still light.  With the Vitamin C (tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate) as the second ingredient, it has enough concentration of the active to make it effective.  Great for sensitive or easily irritated skin, but also great for those with dry skin.  Use it under your sunscreen in the morning.

Who It's For

All skin types but the most oily and acne prone.

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

An excellent antioxidant with 90% polyphenol extracts of green tea.  The cream form is very good for those of you with more sensitive skin or those who just don't like the smell or feel of the Vitamin C serums or gels.  The base is light but moisturizing.  Contains calming plant extracts as well, cucumber and chamomile. 

How to Use

Once or twice a day.  Use your antioxidants directly on cleansed skin and put your other products over that. 

Ingredients

Purified water, glyceryl stearate (soy), behenyl alcohol, palmitic acid, caffeine UPS, stearic acid, lecithin, lauryl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, 90% polyphenol isolate of camellia sinensis leaf, sodium hyaluronate, bisabolol, cucumis sativus (cucumber) extract, chamomilla recutita (chamomile) extract, triethanolamine, polysorbate 20, methylparaben, diazolidinyl urea, phenoxetol, tetrasodium EDT

Size: 1 fl. oz (30ml) 

Who It's For

Be cautious if you have sensitive skin.  Do not use if you are propylene glycol allergic.

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

Antioxidants (especially the well formulated Vit C products) have beneficial effects on skin.  This product is another version based on the natural antioxidants found in grapes and wine. Antioxidants help prevent the damage to skin cell DNA  from UVA & UVB.  They also help prevent brown spots.  This one is meant to be used at night while their Phloretin CF is recommended under sunscreen in the am.  

Bottom Line: If you love your morning antioxidant, and get good results, try this one for use at night also.   It's not a substitute for a retinoid though.  Try alternating nights.

How to Use

Using the Resveratrol and a retinoid on the same night may be too irritating. Try  alternating it with your retinoid.  It's wise to start any new product cautiously at first and watch for irritation.  Not for sensitive skin.

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

 Contains a ton of healthy skin oils some natural to skin like the triglyceride, and some just healthy oils like the grape seed oil.  Great for dry, sensitive, or eczema prone skin.  Not great for acne or oily skin.  Contains vitamin C and little vitamin A (retinyl palmitate).
