What is the new Multi-Antioxidant Radiance Serum?
This is The Ordinary’s new multi-active antioxidant serum containing 8 technologies, including vitamin C. It targets a range of environmental aggressors while leaving you looking radiant! It has a very light oil texture and sinks into the skin really well. There is a smell to this but I´m not sure if it´s because mine is quite old.
Multi-Antioxidant Radiance Serum is your daily defense against dullness and environmental stress. Pollution, smog, and everyday life can leave skin looking tired, but this serum helps brighten, smooth, and support your skin—so it looks fresh, not fatigued.
With 8 antioxidant technologies (hello, vitamin C and ginseng), it’s got your back 24/7. By day, it helps shield against pollution while keeping skin hydrated and strong. By night, it works while you rest, so you wake up looking radiant.
