Antioxidants prevent or slow damage to cells caused by free radicals.

Free radicals are unstable molecules produced by the body in response to environmental stressors or harmful external toxins like UV radiation, pollution, smoke, blue light, and ozone to name a few.

Free radicals are highly reactive and can cause significant damage to skin cells, leading to premature aging, inflammation, and other skin issues. Antioxidants work by neutralizing free radicals, preventing them from causing cellular damage. 

By adding antioxidants into your skincare routine, you provide your skin with a secondary line of defense against toxins and environmental stressors, like the sun’s UV light.

Antioxidants are essential for maintaining overall skin health.

Antioxidants offer numerous benefits for your skin. Here are some key advantages to including antioxidants in your routine:

While sunscreen is your primary safeguard to block UV radiation, antioxidants provide an additional layer of protection to sheild against the sun, improving your sunscreen’s SPF.

Antioxidants help mitigate the oxidative stress caused by sun exposure, reducing the risk of sunburn and long-term damage.

When combined with sunscreen, antioxidants can enhance its effectiveness, providing a more comprehensive defensive sheild against UV damage.

Antioxidants are powerful anti-aging agents. 

Excessive UV exposure accelerates aging by breaking down collagen and elastin. This results in thinning skin with reduced elasticity, which ultimately speeds up wrinkle formation.

Antioxidants help promote natural collagen production and stimulate skin cell regeneration, making your skin appear younger and more vibrant.

Antioxidants also help reduce skin photoaging, which can lead to fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots. Antioxidants combat this damage by neutralizing harmful molecules and supporting the skin’s repair processes, making them an essential part of any anti-aging skincare routine.

Exposure to the sun can lead to skin inflammation and redness.

Antioxidants, such as Green tea and Niacinamide can soothe the skin and reduce irritation.

This is particularly beneficial during the summer when heat and sun exposure can increase redness and puffiness in the skin.

Antioxidants assist in repairing skin damage caused by UV rays and other external stressors.

The antioxidants in your skincare routine can help reduce hyperpigmentation caused from excessive sun, and improve skin texture.

Even with the use of sunscreen, some UV radiation can penetrate the skin. Antioxidants help to support the skin against that cellular damage by enforcing a defense barrier, which helps in both prevention and repair of UV damage, ensuring your skin remains healthy and resilient.

With higher temperatures and more time spent outdoors, skin is more susceptible to dehydration and irritation. Antioxidants can help strengthen the skin barrier function and improve its ability to retain moisture. 

This strengthened barrier helps keep the skin hydrated, resilient, and better able to defend against external aggressors, ultimately contributing to overall skin health and vitality.

At KaramMD, we understand the significance of antioxidants in maintaining healthy, youthful skin.

That’s why we’ve incorporated them into each step of the Trifecta routine, as well as Polish and Enrich.

Using antioxidants both day and at night is essential for comprehensive skin care. 

During the day, antioxidants enhance your skin's defense against environmental stressors like UV radiation and pollution. At night, they aid in the skin's natural repair and regeneration processes. 

Trifecta was expertly crafted to harness the power of antioxidants and each product builds upon the next. Vitamin E works synergistically with Vitamin C, for example, making these Quench and Illuminate an antioxidant power couple, improving each other’s efficacy and boosting your skin’s overall resiliency. They promote natural collagen production and skin repair for healthier, more youthful complexion.

Our Enrich Balm stands out as an antioxidant powerhouse all by itself, providing deep nourishment and repair. It can be applied during the day before makeup and sunscreen for a boost of SPF, and is highly recommended at night to support the skin's repair processes while you sleep (especially if you got a little too scorched in the summer sun).

Antioxidants effectively battle sun damage, reduce signs of aging, and help repair the skin, which is why the KaramMD Trifecta is formulated with antioxidants at each step of your routine, ensuring your skin's optimal health.

By making antioxidants part of your regimen, you can achieve and maintain clear, glowing skin all year long.
