Summary
This episode of The Emma Guns Show is brought to you in collaboration with Skinceuticals.
I’m joined by Dr Emma Craythorne, consultant dermatologist and skincare expert, who joins me to take a deep-dive into antioxidants and how they provide vital protection for your skin.
We also take a look at Silymarin CF, the new Vitamin C antioxidant serum from @skinceuticals_uki which offers, as you’d expect from the leaders in antioxidant skincare, a potent Vitamin C in a formula that supports oily and blemish-prone skin.
In this episode, Dr Emma Craythorne and I discuss:
- the benefits of antioxidants and Vitamin C.
- what free radical damage is, how it affects the skin and how it can be treated.
- how to know a good Vitamin C serum.
- why many Vitamin C formulas favour certain skin types.
- the difference between Silymarin CF and other Skinceuticals antioxidant serums.
- the formulation of the Silymarin CF serum.
- how the addition of silymarin and salicylic benefit the efficacy of the serum on oily, blemish-prone skin.
- how to know if you need an antioxidant that’s designed for oily, blemish-prone skin.
- what oil oxidation is and whether more people are experiencing it because of mask-wearing.
- how Silymarin CF fits in with a skincare regime for oily, blemish-prone skin.
- how to layer the serum among a regime for oily, blemish-prone skin.
- the other cumulative benefits of using the serum.
The serums mentioned during the show:
Skinceuticals Silymarin CF, £145.

Skinceuticals CE Ferulic, £140.
