The combination of Vitamin C and Vitamin E has gained immense popularity in skincare in recent years due to their potent antioxidant properties. One of the most popular blends is the 20% L-ascorbic acid and Vitamin E serum. It is safe for all skin types and provides numerous benefits to the skin. According to a study published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, a 20% L-ascorbic acid solution is well-tolerated and safe for use on human skin. Vitamin E in the serum helps mitigate any potential irritation or side effects, as it has soothing effects on the skin. Combining these two antioxidants neutralizes free radicals, inhibits melanin production, and promotes skin elasticity and smoothness.
PCA Skin's C & E Advanced serum contains a potent blend of 20% L-ascorbic acid, 5% Vitamin E, and other antioxidants and peptides. It has a pH of 5.5, which is slightly acidic, and provides maximum benefits to the skin. The serum has won several awards for its powerful blend, including the 2020 NewBeauty Award for Best Antioxidant Serum. It has also been featured in numerous beauty publications. It has received rave reviews from customers who have experienced visible skin health and appearance improvements.
PCA Skin's Hyaluronic Acid Boosting Serum is another excellent product with multiple awards for its hydrating and plumping benefits. The 2020 Harper's Bazaar Anti-Aging Award for Best Hydrating Serum is one of the notable awards it has received. The serum's potent blend of multiple forms of hyaluronic acid provides deep hydration and plumping benefits to the skin. It has been featured in several beauty publications. It has received high praise from customers who have seen significant improvements in their skin's hydration levels and overall appearance.
When using the above products and spending time in the sun, it is best to use a quality sunscreen like Elta MD. EltaMD is a famous skincare brand known for its superior sun protection products. Their sunscreens protect against harmful UV rays and provide additional benefits for the skin. For example, their UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 sunscreen contains niacinamide to reduce redness and inflammation and hyaluronic acid to hydrate and plump the skin. Many celebrities love EltaMD sunscreens for their effectiveness in preventing premature aging.
In conclusion, combining 20% L-ascorbic acid and Vitamin E serum in skincare is highly effective. When combined with other powerful ingredients like hyaluronic acid and broad-spectrum sunscreen, the benefits for the skin are even more significant. PCA Skin's C & E Advanced Serum, Hyaluronic Acid Boosting Serum, and Elta MD sunscreen are all excellent options for a rejuvenated, youthful appearance.
