This ingredient demonstrates its ability to protect against UV-induced DNA damage, immune suppression and ROS. Vitamin C is probably one of the most popular antioxidants in cosmeceuticals. When increasing vitamin C content, the skin saw a reduction of DNA damage, lipid peroxidation, decreased erythema response, also known as redness in the skin, and UVA (aging) damage. Vitamin C is also linked to limited release in pro-inflammatory cytokines, which again, has a huge impact on the rate one ages. Vitamin E also plays an important role in UV-induced damage. This ingredient is a lipophilic antioxidant and absorbs energy from UV rays, while protecting the cell membrane against free radicals. Vitamin E directly responds with ROS, reducing inflammation both in the skin and body. It is essential for both internal and topical application since it declines as we age and with UV exposure. These antioxidants are not solely beneficial in topical formulas either! Many of the same studies discovered that consumed daily and used in conjunction, vitamins C, E and green tea increase protection throughout the entire body.
