Paula's Choice Vitamin C Face Serum RESIST, Super Antioxidant 1 oz — Brightening & Hydrating Anti-Aging

Paula's Choice RESIST Super Antioxidant Vitamin C Serum is a lightweight, hydration-boosting face serum that combines stabilized vitamin C, ferulic acid, CoQ10, vitamin E and peptides to help restore radiance and improve visible signs of dry, sun‑damaged skin.

This silky serum is formulated to layer into morning and evening routines, delivering antioxidant protection plus moisture to help skin look brighter and feel smoother. The blend targets dullness, uneven tone and loss of firmness with ingredients chosen to work together: stabilized vitamin C for brightening, ferulic acid to bolster antioxidant activity, CoQ10 and vitamin E for skin-friendly support, and peptides to help the skin appear more resilient.

How does this serum improve the appearance of dull, dry skin?

The serum uses a concentrated antioxidant cocktail to address visible dullness and dryness. Antioxidants help minimize the look of environmental damage while hydrating agents restore surface moisture so skin appears more luminous and even.

• Stabilized vitamin C helps even skin tone and enhance brightness.
• Ferulic acid amplifies antioxidant effectiveness for better protection.
• Hydrating base ingredients smooth texture and reduce flaky appearance.
• CoQ10 and vitamin E support a healthier-looking skin surface.

Can I use this serum with other products in my routine?

Yes — it’s designed to layer smoothly under moisturizers and sunscreen in morning routines and under richer creams at night. Apply after cleansing and toning; follow with targeted treatments, then moisturizer and SPF during the day.

• Use twice daily for consistent antioxidant support and hydration.
• Safe to pair with most serums, spot treatments and moisturizers.
• Always finish daytime use with broad-spectrum SPF for protection.
• Avoid mixing with unstable acids at high concentrations; patch test if combining actives.

What key ingredients make this an anti‑aging booster?

The formula combines several actives that work through complementary mechanisms: vitamin C for brightness, peptides to support firmness, CoQ10 and vitamin E to nourish, and ferulic acid to stabilize and enhance the antioxidant complex. Together they aim to help skin look firmer and more vibrant without heavy, greasy residue.

• Vitamin C: stabilized form to promote visible radiance.
• Peptides: support surface firmness and texture improvement.
• CoQ10 & vitamin E: antioxidant and conditioning support.
• Ferulic acid: boosts overall antioxidant performance.

How should I apply the Paula's Choice RESIST Super Antioxidant Serum?

Dispense a few drops onto fingertips, then smooth evenly across clean, dry face and neck. Allow it to absorb before layering moisturizer and, in the morning, sunscreen. Regular use helps maintain hydration and antioxidant benefits.

• Apply morning and evening after cleanser and toner.
• Use 3–4 drops to cover face and neck gently.
• Give it a minute to sink in before moisturizer or sunscreen.
• Store away from direct heat and sunlight to preserve actives.

Who is this for? Paula's Choice RESIST Super Antioxidant Vitamin C Serum is suitable for people with dry, dull or sun‑exposed skin looking for a hydrating antioxidant treatment that layers well with other skincare. It’s formulated for those who want brighter-looking skin and smoother texture without heavy oils; ideal for anyone adding a targeted free-radical defense and moisture boost to daily care. If you have very sensitive or reactive skin, test on a small area first and introduce gradually with other actives.
