During the dog days of summer, sunscreen can only do so much. But if you get crafty with your skincare, you can give your SPF a much-needed, youth-protecting boost…..with Antioxidants! By layering an antioxidant product underneath sunscreen, or by applying it at bedtime before and after sun exposure, you can add a second line of defense against UV damage – antioxidants counteract the unwanted free radicals generated by UV light and help your sunscreen work better.
Need to find a great antioxidant buddy for your sunscreen? Meet Kate Ryan Skincare Vitamin C Collection! It includes two high potency Vitamin C Serums that work for your skin day and night to give your skin a boost of powerful antioxidant protection, support & promote collagen and heal any existing damage.
Kate Ryan Skincare Vitamin C Collection
Let’s talk about the Vitamin C Daytime Repair Serum first.
While you are busy going about your day, this serum packs a punch with a combination of 3 stable and non-irritating forms of Vitamin C that work synergistically to fend off free radicals. In addition to the most effective forms of Vitamin C, it is also packed with ingredients specifically formulated to combat the signs of aging, like Hyaluronic Acid, Coenzyme Q10, Alpha Lipoic Acid and Resveratrol.
Designed to be a part of your morning routine, it has a liquidy, weightless texture that’s perfect for layering under sunscreen. This serum contains a high percentage of Vitamin C so you just need to apply a small amount to face, neck and décolleté every morning. It absorbs super quickly leaving a smooth, non-sticky base for your moisturizer with SPF, thus making it an excellent choice for all skin types. Plus, the fragrance-free formula is gentle enough to be used around the sensitive eye area without any irritation.

The night repair serum has a lightweight, silky formula that glides smoothly and abosrbs quickly without a greasy feel or finish.
