Benefits of Adding Vitamin C & E to Your Skin Routine

Like every skincare enthusiast, we are always looking for products that bring as many benefits to our skin routine as possible. From ingredients to product bundles, we all love the synergy effect.

Recently we were talking about Vitamin C and its overwhelmingly beneficial properties.

Today we would love to share with you information about Vitamin E and how in combination with Vitamin C it can bring incredible benefits to your skin. Let’s explore the topic in more detail!

Vitamin E in skincare

Vitamin E is appearing in healthy skin. It has antioxidant properties to help tackle negative signs of pollution and other environmental stressors that compromise the skin’s natural barrier. In addition, vitamin E soothes skin and moisturises it.

As we age, our skin starts experiencing vitamin E deficiency. Hence, our skin is losing its volume and firmness.

Types of Vitamin E

There are a number of forms of Vitamin E. Among of those you will find: d-alpha-tocopherol, d-alpha-tocopherol acetate, dl-alpha tocopherol, and dl-alpha tocopherol acetate.

What is worth noticing is that the “d” prefix indicates the product was derived from natural sources. At the same time, the “dl” prefix indicates that the vitamin was created from a synthetic base.

Benefits of using Vitamin E and Vitamin C together

We highly recommend using vitamin E and vitamin C together. Together they are very beneficial for the skin. We love to use Vitamin C and E as they improve the appearance of uneven skin tone. They will tackle post-acne scars and be more effective in brightening age spots and hyperpigmentation. In addition, by strengthening the natural skin barrier they will bring a glow to a dull complexion.

What you will notice is that vitamin E helps to soothe the skin and reduce the risk of skin getting irritated and photosensitive from Vitamin C.

Most importantly, we value the combination of vitamin C and E as they have anti-aging properties. By using Vitamin c and E, you will be tacking free radicals and environmental stressors. So if you are in your 20s, this may be a great vitamin complex for you.

Our suggestions

Let’s start with the question: how experienced are you in using vitamin C and how sensitive is your skin?

If you are a newbie to vitamin C, we highly recommend using a serum with a lower concentration of vitamin C. We have been there, hence we know that if you start using a too high concentration of vitamin C, your skin may react. That is why we always suggest to check Klairs Vitamin C and E duo set. By using 5% ascorbic acid you will work on brightening your skin. At the same time, you will keep your skin stronger and moisturised with Vitamin E.
