Antioxidant Skin Serum

Several years ago, one luxurious Italian lady of considerable age, during a break between dances (I need to pause here, because she danced so that her gold bracelets rang louder than the music), shared with me her life experience. “If you don’t know which wine to choose, take the youngest one; if you don’t know which cream to buy, look for the word “antioxidants.” We simply need both!” Whoever is ready to argue with this, let him be the first to throw a stone at me. Below are serums with antioxidants that impressed me no less than the intricate steps of the venerable lady. Of course, it would take too much time to truly evaluate the effectiveness of their action. I tried them all: I used some for a long time, some not so much. But the composition, texture and reputation of these products certainly make them worthy of close attention.

Tired skin has become a really big problem these days. Moreover, unlike a tired soul, it is very noticeable. The Elizabeth Arden brand (famous for its “eight-hour cream”) has released an encapsulated serum, Flawless Future Powered by Ceramide. When the capsule gets on the skin, it dissolves and releases the elements of the so-called “second skin”. The formula includes ceramides (an essential component of the lipid barrier of the stratum corneum), components with a brightening effect and pore minimizers. Overall, this is an excellent product for young skin, erasing signs of fatigue and energizing. And in defense it “plays” very well.

Magnificence Red Serum intensive restoration serum, Lierac, is intended for older people and is designed to specifically combat glycation (“sugarification” of collagen and elastin fibers). For this purpose, scientists have created a whole complex, which is called G-GLYOX. Everything inside the complex is very complicated, so we won’t go into scientific terminology. Let's just accept it as a fact that everything is very technological. The serum contains G-GLYOX in double quantity, which means it acts quickly and effectively, correcting wrinkles, improving skin texture, preventing loss of elasticity and restoring radiance.

Vitamin C is the genius behind skin radiance. It’s a shame that he hasn’t been remembered often lately. But in the antioxidant serum in capsules Anti-Oxidant Vit.C Drops, Bellefontaine, it is presented in the best form and in sufficient quantities. This explains the amazing revitalizing (one might even say, resurrecting from the ashes) properties of the drug. After an illness, a difficult journey, a sleepless night... In any extreme conditions, after several days of using the serum, the skin is filled with strength and health. The complexion becomes exactly like after a vacation.

New texture and new life position. Serum in cream Skin-Best, Biotherm. What is serum in cream? It's simple: a high concentration of active components and the depth of their penetration into tissues are combined with a cumulative effect and prolonged action. In a word, “both ours and yours.” The Biotherm brand succeeded in this trick perfectly. As for the purpose, this is an excellent prevention of aging and combating it in the early stages. The main purpose of the entire Skin-Best range is to combat facial wrinkles. Well, it contains... Miracle algae, algae, algae.

Cosmotheca has already become an iconic metropolitan destination for those who are always looking for something special. Beauty products with meaning are sold here. And they are sold with feeling, with sense, with arrangement. If you haven’t been to any store yet (and there are already quite a few), then I highly recommend checking it out. Have fun. Among the rare and sometimes exotic brands here you can find the Spanish brainchild Sepai. 99% of the active ingredients in all products are completely pure and safe. Anti-aging serum-elixir for the face Counter Clockwise is no exception. It rejuvenates problem and combination skin and prevents excessive sebum production. Cute and eco-friendly.

What are antioxidants

Antioxidants are substances that can fight free radicals, which are, not without reason, declared the main enemies of skin cells.

Free radicals - oxygen molecules that are missing one electron. They try to compensate for their inferiority at the expense of healthy structures. By taking the missing electrons from other molecules, they destroy them.

His main provocateurs:

tobacco and alcohol;

American scientist, professor of biogerontology Denham Harman in 1956 published a scientific work proving the harmful effects of free radicals, where he wrote:

The accumulation of free radicals leads to tissue degradation and is the main cause of aging.”

Since the skin is our main protective organ, it is the first to take a blow. Obviously, it needs antioxidant protection.

Residents of cities, where the effects of infrared radiation and tropospheric (harmful) ozone are especially aggressive, experience an increased need for antioxidants.

How to choose cosmetics with antioxidants

Take, for example, vitamin C, the most well-known antioxidant. Getting it to work in a cosmetic formula turned out to be quite difficult:

large molecules do not penetrate the skin well;

the substance is unstable and oxidizes quickly.

It turned out that in order for vitamin C to stabilize and penetrate into the skin, only three conditions must be met.

Pure L-ascorbic acid.

High concentration of L-ascorbic acid (10–20%).

Formula with an acidic pH (below 3.5).

The most effective antioxidants

The names of antioxidant heroes who are ready to fight for the health and youth of our skin are well known:

However, to fully protect the skin from free radicals, a combination of several substances is required.

The multicomponent antioxidant formula was developed only in 2005. This was another breakthrough in cosmetology - the first preparations appeared on the scene containing not one, but several antioxidants for external use in optimal concentrations.

Classic example - Serum CE Ferulic, in which three antioxidants appear on equal terms, jointly increasing the protective functions of the skin by 8 times.

The formula of the drug seems to be simple, but its development took years of research. Includes:

pure L-ascorbic acid 15%;

alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) 1%;

ferulic acid 0.5%.

Among the factors that accelerate the aging of facial skin, specialists pay special attention to environmental influences. We are talking about unfavorable ecology, exposure to sunlight, tobacco smoke, and the influence of radiation from computer screens and other gadgets. All of them contribute to the activation of free radicals in the skin, which have a destructive effect on cells, triggering a cascade of oxidative reactions. The Mesoestetic company presents to readers of estet-portal.com the antioxidant serum aox ferulic - a revolutionary new product against premature skin aging.

Why antioxidant serum is effective against aging facial skin

Oxidative processes that destroy cell membranes and their internal structures are triggered by free radicals, which are formed under the influence of external factors, as well as stress, lack of sleep, poor nutrition and many other reasons. The consequence of the destructive influence of radicals is accelerated aging of the facial skin. It is externally manifested by increased dryness and flaking, sagging and wrinkles, dull color and pigmentation disorders. These manifestations do not depend on age and today are diagnosed even in young patients. To combat the effects of cell oxidation, Mesoestetic Pharma Group, which is represented on our market by the Laskos company, has created aox ferulic, a revolutionary antioxidant and anti-aging agent.

Aox ferulic serum is a cutting-edge antioxidant concentrate with powerful anti-aging effects.

The serum instantly slows down the oxidative process caused by external aggressive influences. Given its protective and restorative function, the serum is suitable for all skin types and can be used at any age, daily, morning or evening. In addition, thanks to its light texture, the product serves as a basis for any procedure and can be used before using a regular moisturizer.

Due to what components does the serum prevent aging of facial skin?

The aox ferulic antioxidant serum contains optimally balanced active ingredients that enhance each other's effects, helping to slow down the aging of facial skin and give it freshness and brightness:
• exclusive protective complex (1.5%), which contains vitamin E and a synthetic active ingredient of the latest generation (strengthens the antioxidant effect of the product, provides certain protection against IR radiation and HEV radiation, protects epidermal lipids and provides instant and long-term protection);
• ascorbic acid (15%) – the purest form of vitamin C (one of the most powerful natural antioxidants) in high concentration;
• ferulic acid (0.5%) is a powerful antioxidant that protects fibroblasts from the destructive effects of radiation and prevents inflammation from sun exposure.

Due to its active components, aox ferulic serum protects fibroblasts, the cells responsible for youthful skin, from destruction. They are necessary for the synthesis of collagen and elastin, hyaluronic acid - the main elements of the extracellular matrix that ensure a young and healthy appearance of the skin.

Thanks to the use of aox ferulic antioxidant serum, photoaging of the skin is prevented, since the drug protects it from UVB, UVA and IR radiation, as well as HEV rays.

The serum helps restore the skin's barrier functions, impaired due to adverse external influences, thereby maintaining its hydration and elasticity. The skin becomes brighter and fresher.

How does antioxidant serum work and what can it achieve?

Clinical studies of how aox ferulic antioxidant serum works have shown its high effectiveness:
• by more than 90% – the level of damage caused by cell oxidation is reduced;
• by 30% – the degree of cell oxidation caused by infrared radiation decreases;
• 6 times – collagen synthesis increases;
• by 100% – the viability of fibroblasts increases;
• 8 times – the duration of antioxidant protection increases.

Moreover, 100% of patients who have used aox ferulic report a noticeable increase in firmness and overall improvement in skin quality, and 90% report that their skin appears fresher and brighter.

A revolutionary new product - the aox ferulic antioxidant serum, which is exclusively presented by the Laskos company, successfully fights factors that provoke premature aging of the facial skin, protects and significantly improves its condition.
