The antioxidant facial treatments of the moment

The skin's sworn enemies: free radicals. Their crime? Causing the oxidation of our skin cells and leading to their premature aging. To counter these effects, we adopt a facial treatment based on antioxidants, super-powerful ingredients.

The skin is constantly "attacked" by the sun, pollution, blue light and even stress . They then lead to an overproduction of free radicals, responsible for oxidative stress and therefore, premature aging of the skin. Wrinkles, spots  and lack of radiance are then the stigmata. 

To reverse the trend, we are focusing on facial treatments concentrated in powerful antioxidants . The most effective? Vitamins C, A and E; certain plant extracts; coenzyme Q10; zinc; complex molecules (flavonoids, polyphenols).
