200–600mg of R-lipoic acid (the more bioavailable form) daily. ALA is both fat and water-soluble — uniquely allowing it to penetrate every cell membrane and compartment to neutralize free radicals. Topically and orally, it reduces oxidative stress that accelerates skin aging, recycles vitamins C and E for extended antioxidant coverage, and has shown measurable reductions in fine lines and skin roughness in clinical trials.

Combined with vitamin C and E. Skin looks more even and resilient. The antioxidant stack is real.

Subtle but real improvement in skin smoothness over 3 months.
