Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant, and our skin loves it, says editor Trudi Brewer. It has the power to brighten a dull complexion, smooth fine lines, and protects your face from free radical damage. This new routine offers anyone noticing the first signs of ageing - all of the above and more.

Avène skincare is famous for soothing, hydrating and calming sensitive skin. More recently, it has addressed ageing skin with the Derm Absolu range, and now A-Oxitive is set to refine and brighten your complexion. How? With the power of pro-vitamins A, C and E that are chrono-active. Here's everything you need to know about the new Avène's A-Oxitve routine.
Here’s the range
Avène A-Oxitive Antioxidant Defense Serum, $65
Perhaps the hero in this collection is the serum. Stacked with gradual release provitamin C and healing provitamin E. The power of this pair in one serum helps brighten and strengthen the skin against free radical damage invisible to the naked eye. In addition, the airless pump protects these vitamins from heat and air, preventing these sensitive ingredients from breaking down, so every last drop will brighten and tighten your skin. Use morning and night on the face and neck after cleansing.
Avève A-Oxitive Smoothing Water Cream, $60
This lightweight water cream melts into the skin and instantly leaves a pearly copper-coloured shimmer. While the blend of pure and potent provitamin C and provitamin E gradually absorbs, leaving an invisible antioxidant shield on the skin. Finally, you can be guaranteed that this illuminating cream will have you looking Insta-ready all day. Use two pumps for the face and neck each morning over the serum.
Avène A-Oxitive Night Peeling Cream, $60
The night cream in the routine that, long term, will dramatically boost radiance in your skin, brightening and regenerating. It has a rich, velvet-like formula stacked with retinaldehyde (derived from vitamin A) that gently exfoliates the skin. At the same time, the provitamin E and evening primrose oil nourish the skin while you sleep. Use this fragrance-free cream-like serum at night, two pumps on the face and neck daily.
