I believe the cosmetics companies are adding it to their products because not everyone takes vitamins, yet they'd welcome a product that supplies the desired effect without resorting to taking a pill.
Hi there! Antioxidants in makeup are actually very useful. The environment is full of free radicals that cause faster aging. Free radicals can rob the skin of its natural collagen, and promote skin damage and wrinkles. Antioxidants applied to the skin can protect against these damaging elements, and even reverse prior damage. Free radicals are everywhere, caused by pollution, diet, sunlight, and even medications.

I am just wondering what everyone thinks about having anti-oxidants in makeup? I understand how it makes sense to take an anti-oxidant vitamin or eat it in a food. Lately I've started to notice it all the time in makeup products and I was wondering if they work?
