Ask Dr. Schultz
Antioxidant products
Hi Dr. Schultz, Do you recommend using the same antioxidant formulation for both day and night?
Are there antioxidant products on the market that would be particularly suited for day or night use?
Thank you!
It is absolutely fine to use the same antioxidant in the morning, and the evening. The evening is, however, much more important as antioxidants are better able to be absorbed into the cells at night as UV A and B from sunlight is not present to inactivate them before they are absorbed into the skin. Once the antioxidant gets absorbed into the cell it can fight against the dangerous energy of free radicals which cause skin cancer and premature aging of the skin.
