When looking for the right product for your skin type, trust the doctors. Prevention recommends using a serum that uses clinically tested antioxidants such as Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin B3 and Vitamin E. Other notable antioxidant ingredients include resveratrol and curcumin. Make sure to read the back of the bottle to find exactly what the product in question uses as an antioxidant, then find a serum that uses one or more of these proven antioxidants for the biggest benefit.
Furthermore, note the bottle that your product comes in. Rina Allawh, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist tells the outlet, “Consumers should be mindful of packaging. An opaque, airtight bottle to prevent oxidation is vital.” Of course, with the sensitivity of the ingredients, the price is generally higher than other products you use. “Quality, proportions, stability of the ingredients used, and research can all influence price,” adds Edidiong Kaminska, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist. As for which products derms swear by, the outlet lists SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic Serum as the top-recommended antioxidant option, and Drunk Elephant C-Firma Day Serum and The Ordinary Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate 10% as other serums that work well.
