What Most People Get Wrong About Antioxidants in Skincare

Dr. Tiina Meder Episode 17

Antioxidants are praised as skin saviors, but how much do we really understand about them? 

In this episode of the Meder Beauty Podcast, I explore the truth behind antioxidant skincare, uncovering what works, what’s hype, and how to build the right daily routine for real results. I talk about the balance between free radicals and antioxidants, why your microbiome matters, and the surprising link between diet and skin barrier health. I also break down popular ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide, coenzyme Q10, and polyphenols—sharing which ones are truly worth your time. 

This is your no-nonsense, science-based guide to supporting healthy, radiant skin.
