The Ordinary outlines an antioxidant-focused skincare routine on its U.S. website on July 1, 2026, explaining how products support skin exposed to summer UV, heat and pollution.

The article said increased summer sun exposure, heat and pollution elevated oxidative stress in skin, contributing to visible dullness, dehydration and uneven texture over time. Antioxidants were described as ingredients that helped neutralise free radicals.

The Ordinary recommended a four-step routine: cleansing, applying antioxidants, supporting hydration and using sunscreen. It said antioxidants supported the skin’s natural defence systems and resilience when used consistently with sun protection.

Product examples included Squalane Cleanser, Pycnogenol 5%, Multi-Antioxidant Radiance Serum, Natural Moisturising Factors + HA and UV Filters SPF 45 Serum. The brand linked the routine to maintaining healthy‑looking skin during summer.

The site also promoted related resources in its O. Library, including guides on building a regimen, layering products, retinoids and toners. It encouraged users to build personalised antioxidant routines with an online Regimen Builder.
