French company Caudalie has been formulating products with resveratrol for more than 20 years. In 2007, they patented resveratrol-oleyl, which combines resveratrol with oleic acid -- an ingredient that stabilizes the grape derivative while also fighting glycation. (You can read all about the horrors of glycation here.) This serum has a beautiful, creamy texture, and it also contains peptides to firm the skin -- you'll notice a difference the very next morning.
When Japanese skin care company DHC combined the resveratrol trend with the Asian skin care lotion trend, this product was born. It's a light, water-like texture that you can use underneath a serum. So, if you're already happy with your regimen but you want to add resveratrol, apply this right after cleansing.
If you're looking to brighten dark spots while boosting your antioxidant defense with resveratrol, this serum combines the two. It contains a special ingredient (mysteriously called 4MSK) that slows melanin production. You can use it as a spot treatment, but for maximum resveratrol benefits slather it all over.
To get maximum results from resveratrol, cosmetic chemists combined it with stabilizing vitamins A, E and C and created the 4-AR Molecule. This ultra-hydrating serum also contains panthenol for moisture, glucosamine to fight hyperpigmentation and bamboo and sweet pea extract to firm the skin. It's a fantastic does-it-all serum.
If you want to use the same antioxidant serum morning and night, this one is for you. In addition to resveratrol, it contains an enzyme called Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), which naturally occurs in skin but decreases as we get older. SOD fights daytime free radicals caused by sun and pollution exposure, and this silky serum is incredibly moisturizing -- it's great for dry skin.
