Which Antioxidants are best for my skin?
Vitamin E
Vitamin E works in several ways to protect and defend skin from outside elements that can have a profound negative impact on skin. Vitamin E is often found in sunscreens because of its supporting role in helping defend skin from the stress caused by UV Light exposure.
Vitamin E also works in powerful synergy with vitamin C, so a serum or anti-ageing product that contains both vitamin C and vitamin E can be doubly beneficial. Look for Vitamin E in serums and moisturisers.
Vitamin C
When applied topically, vitamin C has been proven to preserve skin’s resiliency so it takes on a firmer feeling and smoother appearance. Research shows that vitamin C also helps improve an uneven skin tone and brighten dull skin so it’s visibly more radiant, just like younger skin.
Like most antioxidants, vitamin C also can calm and help hydrate skin so it’s better able to withstand the rigors of daily life and the environment’s impact on how skin looks and feels.
Vitamin C in concentrations from 0.5% to 20% has shown impressive efficacy.
