Antioxidants on skincare

Lately I’ve seen a lot of tiktok content about including antioxidant in the skincare routine. I’ve been curious about how could they improve my skin and I’ve reached de conclusion that they help with skin aging and polution. Nowadays, we are exposed to a lot of harming substances that can damage our skin barrier by producing radicals that have a harmful effect on the components of our skin. Because of that, I’ve decided to start using an antioxidant on my morning routine called Resveratrol because a few years ago I tried vitamin C and I didn’t quite like it. This product has a texture that reminds me of an oil. I had to stop using it because I’m struggling with sooradic acne and I feel that is getting worse with it, but I’ll soon give it another chance. Any recommendations? I would like to know your experience with antioxidants.

I have great experience with antioxidants! I prefer using antioxidant serum under my foundation to prevent the foundation to oxidize which can darken the color shades. Antioxidants don't usually show visible results in short run, I'll suggest to commit and persist on using one.

I have been using the famous melano CC premium essence as my antioxidant step in my routine for quite some times now. My first and visible result was on pores around my nose. As someone with oily T-zone, the sebaceous filaments usually oxidized and appeared to be darker colour, making them look similar to blackheads. With this Vitamin C serum, I observed no oxidation (no colour change). @Heehee also mentioned on how it prevent oxidation on foundation, which helps to retain the foundation shade throughout the day!

I used to use q10 as an anti oxidant but now my vitamin c serum doubles as an anti oxidant, the one you linked is great, the ordinary has an even stronger one though, this one
