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 that are better than existing lines, at a better price point, with a focus on active lifestyles.

Free of: Animal cruelty, parabens, propylene glycol, & fragrances

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

 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.

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

SkinCeuticals made its name originally by making the best antioxidants, and this one is no exception. 3 antioxidants in one, it contains L-ascorbic acid 10%, phloretin 2%, and ferulic acid 0.5%. My personal antioxidant under my sunscreen. The same high quality without the glass jars - love the new closed pump with its travel-friendly packaging. Oxidizes only minimally with time (turns slightly yellow).

How to Use

Apply after cleansing and under your moisturizer and/or sunscreen.

Ingredients

2% Phloretin, 10% L-Ascorbic Acid (vitamin C), 0.5% Ferulic Acid

Size: 1 fl. oz

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.

 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).
