The Skin Care Vitamins To Combine.

These two skin care vitamins act differently to limit the appearance of hyperpigmentation: vitamin C inhibits tyrosinase, an enzyme required for melanin production, while niacinamide blocks the transfer of pigments into cells.

As for application, there's no preferred order for applying these two active ingredients to your skin. Choose the product with the thinnest, most fluid texture first. For example, a serum is generally applied before a cream of greater viscosity. For example, for a luminous, smooth and even complexion, we recommend applying the unifying serum with 12% niacinamide morning and night, followed by the antioxidant face cream with vitamin C and lemon extract.

Researchers have shown that vitamins C and E combined in the same care product prevent acute ultraviolet (UV) damage such as sunburn, as well as photoaging (accelerated skin aging with sun exposure) and the risk of skin cancer. Furthermore, these two vitamins for skin care purposes are effective depigmenting agents, limiting the appearance of dark spots.

In addition, vitamin E, thanks to its antioxidant power, stabilizes vitamin C in a skincare product, enabling it to remain active for longer. For example, many vitamin C serums contain vitamin E (tocopherol). When applied to the hair, a treatment combining vitamins C and E will tone the hair fiber while protecting it from external aggression.

First, despite its name, vitamin F is not a vitamin, but a combination of two essential fatty acids: linoleic acid and linolenic acid. It repairs and preserves the skin's barrier function. To restore suppleness to the epidermis, we've combined vitamins E and F in our lipid-replenishing shower oil. Vitamin E or tocopherol protects the skin from free radical damage.
