Why do Anti-Oxidants oxidize?
Its very common that Anti-oxidants like Retinol, and Brightening agents like Kojic Acid, Hexyl resorcinol etc oxidize over time.
Why does it happen and how to prevent it?? Any formulation tricks?

It is my understanding that antioxidants are almost sacrificial in their nature because they will reduce a number of other chemicals. They do this in the body - and this is why Vitamin C is hard to stabilise in an aqueous solution.
