The Best Antioxidant Skin-Care Products to Try This Winter - NewBeauty

Antioxidants are often top of mind in the summer when we’re trying to find products to brighten skin and protect against sun damage, but they’re equally as important to use through the winter months. Skin care with antioxidants can soothe skin, reduce inflammation and boost hydration—all of which we could use more of during the colder months. We rounded up some of our favorite antioxidant products perfect for your winter skin-care routine, including new launches and old reliables.

This bestseller and Kaia Gerber favorite is beloved for good reason. It claims to reverse one year of aging in just one month with the power of peptides, brighteners and nine different antioxidants, including ferulic acid, white tea leaf extract and turmeric-derived compounds.

Antioxidant stars vitamin C, ferulic acid and niacinamide team up in this new serum to promote brighter, firmer, more radiant skin. After four weeks, 90 percent of users said their skin was noticeably less dull.

This recent launch is perfect for combating breakouts and acne without drying out skin during the cold weather. Antioxidant-packed ingredients like niacinamide and algae extracts pair well with salicylic and mandelic acid, copper, magnesium, zinc and clarifying plant oils in this concoction.

We love keeping this antioxidant-packed purifying toner mist on our desk for a pick-me-up, especially during those dark afternoon hours of the winter. It protects against blue light, refreshes and soothes skin and refines the appearance of pores.

Winter is a great time to incorporate soothing, hydrating antioxidants into your routine, so this new launch from Murad is perfectly timed. Although it’s a powerful resurfacing serum, the glycolic acid is microdosed and balanced with ceramides, microalgae and antioxidant-rich fermented heartleaf extract so that it’s safe for sensitive skin.

The antioxidants and peptides in this serum target irritation, fine lines and uneven tone with precision. It’s become a cult classic for a reason, and we don’t see that changing anytime soon.

This recently launched botanical facial oil is like an antioxidant-packed morning juice for your skin. While the antioxidants combat free radicals, boost skin’s resilience, and diminish signs of aging, ceramides help fortify the skin barrier and boost hydration to maintain a plump, moisturized complexion no matter the temperature.

Niacinamide is a potent antioxidant, and this new, affordable launch is chock full of the stuff. We can always use an extra boost of hydration in the winter, so we see ourselves going through a handful of bottles of these drops before the end of the season.

This is the topical multivitamin your skin needs in the winter. It’s packed with amino acids, green tea extract and natural skin brighteners. Plus, the energizing orange peel aroma is just the pick-me-up you need on a dark December morning.

Did you know that the black pine bud is rich in antioxidants and vitamins that can help revitalize and energize the skin? We could always use some energizing skin care in the wintertime, so we’re excited about this new launch from Korres.

This new anti-aging serum combines antioxidants, coenzymes, hyaluronic acid, amino acids and more to promote some seriously impressive results. Its ultralight feel and encapsulation technology make it easy to layer with the thicker creams that come with cold weather.

Winter is the time to up skin’s hydration as much as possible, and this recent launch from MUTHA does just that. It hydrates, plumps and brightens to help you maintain a dewy complexion even through the cold, dry months.

This reimagined innovation of the brand’s original Double Serum is high-tech anti-aging magic. Plus, it features a handful of ingredients with antioxidants, including turmeric, sea buckthorn, Mary’s thistle and edelweiss.

Q10 is a powerful antioxidant that protects skin from environmental stress, targets signs of aging and hydrates skin, and it’s the star of this affordable serum. The lightweight formula also features peptides and squalane for even more skin-loving benefits.

This nourishing skin serum is full of antioxidants like chicory root juice, beta-carotene and vitamins C, E and B5. Fresh says the fast-absorbing formula boosts brightness, smoothness and hydration while reducing signs of tiredness, which sounds like the perfect winter skin solution.

Vitamin C is important all year round, and this new launch from Dr. Few is good for all skin types, from acne-prone to sensitive. Brighten up skin and boost collagen with this serum during the winter for the ultimate springtime glow-up.

This recent launch is a great daily facial oil to use throughout the winter since it provides both deep hydration and anti-aging benefits through plum seed oil, prickly pear seed oil and antioxidant-rich goji berry seed oil.
