The Read
Defense that travels.
What it is
The antioxidant shield, travel-sized.
The same ginkgo, green tea, oak bark, and grape seed gel in a 20ml format — oil-free, for the bag and the second bathroom.
Why it works
Don't skip defense on the road.
Sun and travel raise oxidative stress; these polyphenols scavenge the free radicals it generates, easing the load before it builds.
How to use
Thin layer, morning and night.
Under moisturiser and SPF. Antioxidants reduce oxidative damage but don't replace sunscreen — wear both.
The proof

Every claim pinned to its source.
