Vitamin C, also called ascorbic acid, is naturally present in a large number of fruits or vegetables. In fruits (oranges, kiwis, etc.), it is a powerful antioxidant which plays an essential protective role for vital functions. A gold standard anti-aging molecule for dermatologists, vitamin C plays an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory role. It regulates pigmentation, protects the collagen network structure, and supports synthesis of epidermal lipids to restore the skin barrier. Vitamin C is therefore an ally for tired skin as it brightens and smooths dull skin.
Vitamin E represents two classes of molecules — tocopherols and tocotrienols. As the most-abundant lipid-soluble antioxidant in the body, vitamin E serves to prevent the production of cell-damaging free radicals. Sun exposure causes the skin to form harmful free radicals, which prematurely ages the skin. Topical application of vitamin E is known to boost the skin protection against free radicals generated after exposure to UV.
