Missha takes potent antioxidant serums to another level with their new launch, a super concentrated serum that's 50 percent — yes, half — Irish moss extract. Also known as red algae, Irish moss is an antioxidant-loaded, skin-restoring ingredient that boosts moisture and protects from free radical damage.
And get this: Missha naturally ferments the Irish moss extract for 100 days to increase the antioxidant impact. The product is also formulated with hydrolyzed collagen to improve elasticity, centella asiatica (cica) to soothe, primrose oil to hydrate, and a host of other nourishing botanical extracts and oils.
Let's talk about Pacifica's new Sea & C Sheer Face Serum, an ultra-sheer SPF 55 cream. In addition to protecting your face from the sun, it's formulated with antioxidant hero, vitamin C, to shield your skin from free radical damage. Fun fact: numerous scientific studies have found that vitamin C and SPF work even better when paired together.
Concentrated black tulip powder — harvested from the Netherlands — is the hero ingredient in this skin-strengthening, protective serum. The ingredient bolsters the skin barrier by restoring ceramides, stimulating hyaluronic acid production, and shielding the skin from free radicals. In addition to black tulip, it contains an advanced amino acid peptide component called carnosine, as well as beta-glucan to moisturize, restore, and soothe.
Sometimes your lips get the short end, but they deserve some antioxidant TLC, too. Lucky for your pout, Pixi just launched the C Vit Lip Brightener as part of a greater range of vitamin C-doused cosmetics and makeup prep products. It's essentially a lightly tinted balm that's been infused with vitamins C and E for moisture, shine, protection, and a hint of color.
You might be wondering, "what the heck is glycation... and why do I want something that's against it?" Long story short, glycation is a process where sugar molecules wreak havoc on your collagen and elastin proteins. This serum helps prevent that from happening with lemon balm and green tea extracts. Both extracts are also antioxidants, and they're paired with hibiscus extract in this formulation to double down on that antioxidant-power.
