The Science of Antioxidants in Skincare: Nature Meets Innovation

Introduction

Antioxidants are one of the most important tools in the fight against visible ageing and environmental damage. They protect the skin from oxidative stress caused by free radicals—unstable molecules generated by sun exposure, pollution, and even stress. At Pt78 Skin and Body, our skincare range leverages the power of natural antioxidants from Australian botanicals, while SkinCeuticals delivers industry-leading, science-backed formulations. Together, they represent the perfect balance of nature and innovation.

Why Antioxidants Are Essential for Healthy Skin

Every day, your skin is exposed to oxidative stress. Left unchecked, this damage accelerates ageing, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, dullness, and pigmentation. Antioxidants neutralise free radicals, protecting the skin and supporting cellular repair. Regular use of antioxidant-rich products can:

• Brighten dull skin

• Reduce pigmentation and uneven tone

• Improve elasticity by stimulating collagen production

• Strengthen the skin barrier against daily aggressors
