Any recommendations?
I used to be able to use a basic VitC serum and have used Prescriptives serum previously but following an allergic reaction to a product my skin has been more fragile (pre-rosacea and sensitivity) and both of these now cause redness and rashes. It is improving but I still have to be selective in what I use on my skin.
So can anyone recommend a good antioxidant serum that is low irritant.
Thanks

I would definitely consider trying Revaleskin Intense Recovery Treatment with 1.5 % coffee berry extract.
http://www.essentialdayspa.com/revaleskin-intense-recove-p_10857.htm
Revaleskin products have some scientific backing for their effectiveness against signs of aging, and they are also recommended by professor in dermatology, Dr Leslie Baumann, for calming down redness and treating rosacea symptoms.
You're killing two birds with one stone, in other words.
I have to admit that I have not tried the serum yet (just bought it), but I love the Revaleskin Night cream, and I figure that the intensive Recovery Treatment is even better.
Revaleskin Intense Recovery Treatment
Ingredients:
Purified water, glycerin, saccharomyces ferment, cyclopentasiloxane, pentylene glycol, bis-hydroxyethoxypropyl dimethicone, cyclohexasiloxane, coffea arabica fruit extract, C18-21 alkane, polyisobutene, stearyl alcohol, cetearyl olivate, sorbitan olivate, sericin, magnesium aluminium silicate, , sodium PCA, phenoxyethanol, glyceryl stearate, PEG-100 stearate, aloe barbadensis leaf extract, dimethicone crosspolymer, hydroxyethylcellulose, xanthan gum, vitis vinifera (grape) seed extract, glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice) extract, camellia oleifera leaf extract, panthenol, disodium EDTA, palmitoyl tripepide-5, butylene glycol, tocopherol, ethylhexylglycerin, glycine soja (soybean) protein, oxido reductases, phospholipids, glycosphingolipids, cholesterol.
Another good antioxidant serum for sensitive skin, is Topix Replenix CF serum with green tea and caffeine.

I would recommend Juicy beauty green apple antioxident serum and the organic pharmacy antioxident serum. They are organic and I think they will mild, especially the latter one.
I think maybe you could present the ingredients list to your dermalogist and ask if the product is safe enough. |

| Juicy beauty has a smoothing serum especially designed for sensitive skin. That one must be milder and may be better. |

| Juice beauty uses fruit juice as ingredients, so their products, no matter how gentle they claim it be, may contain some glycolic acid, I think, so still be careful especially if allergic to glycolic acid! |

Thanks. Actually suggest everyone, even you have a clear picture on the ingredients, still need to do an allergy test before you start use it, for the sake of safety~ |
