Quick answer

What are antioxidant injections?

Antioxidant injections are IV drips or shots containing antioxidants such as vitamin C, glutathione, alpha-lipoic acid and selenium. Antioxidants neutralise free radicals produced by UV exposure, pollution, stress and long-haul travel, which contribute to fatigue and to visible skin ageing.

In Seoul they are often chosen as a wellness add-on during a skin-care trip, especially after time in the sun. They are supportive rather than a cure, and work best alongside sunscreen, sleep and a healthy diet. For a single-ingredient option see glutathione.
