Product overview: Our antioxidant slow-aging boosters compared

Variety of boosters and serums

A wide product range promises that there's something for everyone. However, the sheer number of boosters and serums available can also make the shopping experience overwhelming. A product for slow aging , to minimize fine lines, certainly sounds like something you could use. But that's where the confusion begins: there are countless active ingredients recommended for this purpose. So you keep looking. "Anti-hyperpigmentation," "evens out skin tone"—that sounds good too. It also contains vitamins, which are generally good for the body. Vitamins are also natural antioxidants, and nobody wants to risk damage from free radicals. But with so many boosters and serums boasting brightening effects, slow-aging benefits, and antioxidants, you inevitably start to wonder: Which product is right for me? Are you asking yourself this very question? Then our following product comparison is for you, because we understand how difficult choosing the right skincare product can be. Here we try to present some additional properties of our boosters and serums to make your choice easier.

Antioxidant Serum

Our new Antioxidant Serum is a must-have in our product range. It combines ten different antioxidants. However, the individual antioxidants are not as highly concentrated as, for example, in a Vitamin C serum. Vitamin C, in particular, can initially irritate sensitive skin at higher concentrations. Therefore, the Antioxidant Serum is ideal if you prefer lower doses due to high sensitivity or if you are generally unsure how much Vitamin C or Niacinamide your skin can tolerate. Thanks to its special active ingredient complex, the Antioxidant Serum is well-tolerated and suitable for all skin types.

Scope of action: Unsurprisingly, the serum has an antioxidant effect. It is also suitable for slow-aging. What distinguishes its effect from that of other products is that the antioxidant serum can also effectively inhibit inflammation and regenerate the skin. Therefore, it is suitable for stressed skin and inflamed areas.

Texture: light

Combination with: Can be combined very well with other products. It is the only one of the products mentioned here that can also be used after exfoliation, even with a slight time interval.

Do not use in the same routine with: Retinol

Vitamin C 15 Booster

Our Vitamin C 15 Booster contains 15% ethyl ascorbic acid. This may initially seem like a fairly high concentration, and sensitive skin in particular can react with irritation. However, our Vitamin C 15 Booster is actually very well tolerated compared to other vitamin C serums because we deliberately avoid using pure ascorbic acid. Pure ascorbic acid can easily cause skin irritation. Ethyl ascorbic acid, on the other hand, is a derivative of pure ascorbic acid. It is not only more stable but is also absorbed better and more easily by the skin. The booster is especially suitable for oily and combination skin.

Scope of effect: In addition to slow-aging and brightening effects, the Vitamin C 15 Booster is also good if you want to stimulate your skin's collagen production to give your skin more elasticity.

Texture: liquid, very light

Combine with: Should be combined with other products for oily skin.

Do not use in the same routine as: retinol and chemical peels

 

Vitamin C 20 Booster

As with our Vitamin C 15 Booster, our Vitamin C 20 Booster does not contain pure ascorbic acid. Instead, it contains three derivatives of vitamin C, which together achieve a concentration of 20%. This type of active ingredient complex has the advantage that the individual derivatives have different penetration properties and can therefore work more effectively on various skin concerns. This makes the Vitamin C 20 Booster a more versatile product. All derivatives used are, of course, well-tolerated by the skin. The Vitamin C 20 Booster is particularly suitable for dry and normal skin.

Scope of effects: Just like the Vitamin C 15 Booster, the Vitamin C 20 Booster helps with slow aging, promotes collagen production, and has a brightening effect. What the Vitamin C 20 Booster has over its counterpart: It also provides moisture. Therefore, it is particularly well-suited for dry skin.

Texture: rich

Combine with: Should be combined with other products for dry skin.

Do not use in the same routine as: retinol and chemical peels

Vitamin A Serum

The Vitamin A Serum contains a complex of retinol, retinal, and bakuchiol. We have specifically combined milder forms of Vitamin A with more potent ones to ensure a balance of tolerability and effectiveness, as we want to avoid any skin irritations. The retinol used is also encapsulated. Encapsulation is a special, less irritating delivery method for active ingredients. This allows the retinol to be absorbed more effectively by the skin and works more gently. Thanks to its mild yet effective formula, this serum is suitable for anyone who wants to reduce the first signs of aging. While all skin types can use the Vitamin A Serum, it is particularly beneficial for oily skin prone to blemishes.

Scope of effect: In addition to slow-aging, the Vitamin A Serum is also well suited for you if your skincare goal is clearer skin.

Texture: light

Combine with: Moisturizers such as our moisturizers

Do not use in the same routine as: Vitamin C, chemical peels and the Brightening Booster

1% Retinol Booster

As the product name suggests, our 1% Retinol Booster contains exactly 1% pure retinol. We also use encapsulated retinol in this booster to make the product gentler on the skin. It also contains peptides, which are excellent for slow-aging and therefore work synergistically with the retinol. Due to the high concentration of retinol, this product is specifically formulated for mature skin and more pronounced signs of aging.

Scope of effect: The strength of our 1% Retinol Booster lies primarily in its focus on its slow-aging effect. Therefore, it is the product we recommend for mature adults.

Texture: slightly creamy

Combine with: Moisturizers such as our moisturizers

Do not use in the same routine as: Vitamin C, chemical peels and the Brightening Booster

Brightening Booster

While the Brightening Booster isn't strictly a slow-aging product, we still wanted to mention it here because of its brightening effect. It contains 10% azelaic acid, extracts of licorice root and green tea, as well as mandelic acid. In principle, it can be used by all skin types, but we recommend it especially for oily and combination skin.

Scope of action: The Brightening Booster is literally named for its brightening effect. Unlike the other products presented here, it is particularly suitable for those prone to acne scars and redness. In general, blemished skin benefits from the booster, as it reduces both impurities and the typical redness that arises from them, and makes any acne scars disappear.

Texture: creamy

Combine with: Should be combined with other products for oily skin.

Do not use in the same routine as: retinol, vitamin C and chemical peels
