These include Vitamin A, C, E and green tea. Their role in skincare is that they protect your skin from free radicals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_Free_Radicals\"><\/span><strong>What are Free Radicals?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Free radicals have a somewhat confusing name. They sound kind of like a personality type you\u2019d find on a quiz online. What they are, is molecules in the environment that damage the skin. Free radicals do this by attaching themselves to your collagen and weakening your skin\u2019s elasticity. Rude, right? Free radicals come from things like exposure to sunlight, chemicals, air pollutants, and cigarette smoke. Preventative skincare contains antioxidants to protect your skin from these things, which essentially speed up aging \u2014 or the look of aging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Antioxidants_Are_Used_in_Skincare\"><\/span><strong>How Antioxidants Are Used in Skincare<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typically, skincare formulations contain a few of the antioxidants on this list, namely Vitamins A, B, C and Flavonoids. Many of the vitamins go by aliases you may know them as. They are essential in protecting the skin from exposure to free radicals in the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_we_know_they_work\"><\/span>How do we know they work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rodan + Fields scientists at the Berkeley Innovation Center utilize a test, called the DPPH assay, to measure the ability of different ingredients to perform as antioxidants.&nbsp; The experiment works in a very simple way.&nbsp; A chemical called DPPH is purple in color when it contains free radicals, but when those free radicals are removed or \u201cquenched\u201d by adding an antioxidant, such as blueberry extract, then the solution turns yellow.&nbsp; \u201cHow purple\u201d or \u201chow yellow\u201d can be quantified and is a measure of the strength of the antioxidant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The picture below presents a 96-well plate where many different potential antioxidants have been evaluated in one experiment.&nbsp; The color changes in the wells illustrate how some ingredients are better antioxidants than others.&nbsp; This helps select the most powerful antioxidants to be added to skincare products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"1100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Well-Plate-Option-2_1100x1100-1100x1100.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Well-Plate-Option-2_1100x1100-1100x1100.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Well-Plate-Option-2_1100x1100-550x550.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Well-Plate-Option-2_1100x1100-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Well-Plate-Option-2_1100x1100-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Well-Plate-Option-2_1100x1100-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Well-Plate-Option-2_1100x1100-2048x2048.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vitamin_E_for_Moisturizing_and_Soothing_Skin\"><\/span><strong>Vitamin E for Moisturizing and Soothing Skin<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the most antioxidant with the most press, that is, it\u2019s the most regularly used one in skincare. Vitamin E is also referred to as tocopherol in ingredient lists. Vitamin E has moisturizing and soothing properties and is added to many skincare, makeup, and hair products. Using a heavy, oil-based Vitamin E-infused product could break you out if you\u2019re acne-prone, but if you opt for a water-light, Vitamin E\u2013spiked serum instead, it\u2019s not likely to irritate your skin. Vitamin E is a benchmark for other antioxidants to prove that they work, as it\u2019s the most abundant and potent free radical-scavenging antioxidant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vitamin_C_for_Skin_Brightness_and_Even_Tone\"><\/span><strong>Vitamin C for Skin Brightness and Even Tone<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s a reason <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/blog\/science-of-skincare\/benefits-of-vitamin-c-in-your-skincare-routine\/\">vitamin C<\/a> is a recommended remedy for a range of complexion concerns. A skincare heavyweight, the ingredient is a potent antioxidant that helps to address pigmentation and texture issues, even out your skin tone, brighten, and improve fine lines and wrinkles. In higher concentration, it provides brightening benefits, while in lower concentrations it acts as an antioxidant. Vitamin C also helps skin\u2019s ability to heal while imparting anti-inflammatory properties. This makes it an excellent choice for addressing acne or rosacea. There are three types of vitamin C: Ascorbic Acid, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP) and Ester-C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ascorbic_Acid\"><\/span><strong>Ascorbic Acid<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ascorbic Acid is the kind of Vitamin C that\u2019s most commonly found in your skincare. Ascorbic acid is known for fast absorption and high potency when it is applied topically to your skin. It\u2019s water-soluble. It fights bacterial infections while assisting with building collagen in the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Magnesium_Ascorbyl_Phosphate\"><\/span><strong>Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is another water-soluble vitamin C derivative that is effective in lower concentrations. This form of vitamin C is considered stable and it increases the hydration levels of your skin. It\u2019s also known for its calming effect on the skin. Magnesium in general has a calming effect \u2014 you may have taken magnesium supplements to help you sleep. Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate helps with sensitive skin and skin that produces excess oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ester-C\"><\/span><strong>Ester-C<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the third type of vitamin C that\u2019s pH-neutral. It\u2019s a trademarked form of the vitamin infused with Calcium Ascorbate and is made using a water-based manufacturing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good to know: When Vitamins C and E are combined, the antioxidant effects of both are boosted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vitamin_A_also_known_as_Retinoids_Retinol_Retinal_Retinoic_Acid\"><\/span><strong>Vitamin A, also known as: Retinoids, Retinol, Retinal &amp; Retinoic Acid<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vitamin A includes retinol, retinal, and provitamin A carotenoids. This vitamin serves multiple functions, from growth and development, to the maintenance of your immune system, to helping with your vision. There are a few different forms of Vitamin A. The first is retinoic acid, or Retin-A, which is a prescription drug. There\u2019s retinol, which is 20 times less potent than retinoic acid and while less irritating than retinoic acid, sometimes people still react to it. Last, there\u2019s retinyl, which is as effective as retinoic acid without the side effects. This makes it the most effective and well tolerated form of Vitamin A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vitamin_B3_also_known_as_Niacinamide\"><\/span><strong>Vitamin B3, also known as Niacinamide<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This one is also known as nicotinamide or niacinamide. It\u2019s a water-soluble vitamin that help visibly minimize large pores, tighten pores and improve uneven skin tone. It also helps lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and diminishes dullness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Flavonoids\"><\/span><strong>Flavonoids<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flavonoids are derived from plants and contain antioxidants in high concentrations. Skin care products formulated with flavonoids assist with maintaining skin&#8217;s overall quality and appearance. Berries like blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and blackberries contain flavonoids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Antioxidants_Assist_with_Preventative_Skincare\"><\/span><strong>Antioxidants Assist with Preventative Skincare<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Antioxidants not only protect your skin from the effects of free radicals, they can help reduce inflammation in your body\u2014and more importantly, in your skin. Inflammatory damage in your skin can contribute to the formation of wrinkles, so antioxidants are an ingredient that can help with preventative skincare goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/shop\/recharge-ultra-boost-moisturizing-treatment\/p\/RCTT050\">Recharge Step 2 Ultra Boost Moisturizing Treatment<\/a> Weightless, fast-absorbing gel cream is a good choice for a light moisturizer with antioxidants.
