Free Radicals

Unstable molecules that damage cells by stealing electrons from healthy molecules, a process called oxidative stress. Free radicals are generated by UV exposure, pollution, smoking, and other environmental factors. They accelerate skin aging, damage collagen, and compromise the skin barrier. Antioxidants like vitamin E neutralize free radicals before they can cause damage.
