Vitamin C is not only a powerful anti-oxidant but it helps stimulate cell turnover, reduces age spots, improves the texture of skin and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. An improvement in collagen synthesis also increases the moisture content of the skin and gives sun damaged skin a healthier more youthful appearance.

Vitamin E protects the top layers of skin from early stages of sun damage, increases the efficacy of active sunscreen ingredients, reduces the formation of free radicals when skin is exposed to UVA rays and other sources of skin stress, prevents the peroxidation of fats (a leading source of cell membrane damage in the body), and reduces trans-epidermal water loss from skin, which strengthens the skin's barrier function. All of this leads to skin that is better able to defend itself from damage that leads to visible signs of aging.
