These days there are so many products and treatments on the market for skincare that it can be extremely confusing to navigate that world. Serum‘s are all over the place online and in stores, but which ones actually work best for your skin?
Today in this quick read I wanted to discuss antioxidant serums and other antioxidant treatments. These are the best types of serums and solutions for your skin as a whole for many reasons that we will get into later. Let’s dive right in!
Why Antioxidants?
You probably have heard about antioxidants a lot on TV and social media. Antioxidant products are considered “oxygen” for your skin. Many antioxidant serum contain a blend of retinol, vitamin C, and vitamin E which are all very powerful treatment nutrients for your skin
What Are Antioxidants?
Antioxidants are compounds that inhibit and slow oxidation, which is a fancy term for a chemical reaction that can produce free radicals and chain reactions that can lead to damaged cells in the skin. Basically, you want to use certain serum‘s that have antioxidants in them to prevent oxidation in your skin which damages skin cells and encourages skin rejuvenation. Like I mentioned before vitamin a, vitamin C, and vitamin E are the only dietary supplements that work to inhibit these reactions, and they are active ingredients included in most antioxidant serums.
In addition to using a serum that contains these vitamins and other ingredients, you can work them into your diet to make things even more effective. Check out some of our other blogs that help you build a proper diet that promotes great skin health.
More on Oxidation And Solutions
Like I mentioned before, oxidation is what breaks down healthy skin cells and can cause wrinkles, fine lines, and other skin imperfections. Oxidative stress breaks down collagen in the skin, and hinders the natural skin repair process while also triggering inflammation.
Serums that include antioxidants will help prevent oxidation in the skin. There are also treatment options like our Morpheus 8 treatment that can be used to increase natural production of collagen and elastin and to help prevent oxidation and breakdown of the healthy skin cells.

To wrap up this post I really just wanted to stress the power of antioxidants to you. Weaving them in through serums, treatments like Morpheus 8, and diet can do wonders for your skin!
