Science: MD Skincare Reviews by NvWah_MD Skincare Hydra-Pure Antioxidant Firming Serum

As the name applies, this is an antioxidant-packed product. Antioxidants defend skin from free radical damage and prevents the appearance of aging signs. Vitamin A and C also stimulate collagen production therefore play a role in wrinkle-reducing. Thirdly vitamin C has been proven to brighten the complexion and improve hyperpigmentation.

The serum is also richly moisturizing.

Other good ingredients include lactic acid (Alpha hydroxy acid, AHA). AHA exfoliates surface cells and reveals fresher new skin. But newly exfoliated skin is more sensitive to UV so keep in mind, always wear sunscreen.

There is a lot of silicone in this product. It’d provide an instant smooth and fine line-reducing effect. But that is only temporary.

Safety alert: Cautious
