OPA Defense Vitamin C + E + Ferulic Antioxidant Serum - 1 fl oz
OPA Defense Vitamin C + E + Ferulic Antioxidant Serum - 1 fl oz
OPA Defense Antioxidant Serum
OPA Defense Antioxidant Serum from OPA Nutrition combines the classic trio of vitamin C (ascorbic acid), vitamin E and ferulic acid with niacinamide (vitamin B3) and panthenol (pro-vitamin B5). Sodium hyaluronate and sodium PCA add hydration, so skin looks brighter, smoother and more radiant.
Vitamin C is water-soluble and vitamin E is fat-soluble, so together they cover both phases of the skin's surface, and ferulic acid helps support both while adding antioxidant activity of its own.
Who it is for
Anyone who wants a morning antioxidant serum built on the classic vitamin C, vitamin E and ferulic acid trio, with extra hydration from hyaluronic acid.
What it does
- The classic C + E + ferulic trio: Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), vitamin E and ferulic acid work together as an antioxidant blend that helps defend skin against the look of environmental stress.
- Plus two B vitamins: Niacinamide (B3) helps skin look smoother and more even, and panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) helps skin feel soft and conditioned.
- Hydration built in: Sodium hyaluronate and sodium PCA are humectants that help skin hold moisture, so it looks plumper and more radiant.
- Lightweight daily serum: A fast-absorbing water-based serum that fits a morning routine under moisturizer and sunscreen.
How to use
