We recommend Vitamin C formulations also contain Vitamin E and Ferulic Acid. Vitamin E increases the efficacy of Vitamin C and they work together to create a protective barrier on the skin and within the skin cells. Ferulic acid is another plant-derived antioxidant that has been shown to increase the efficacy of Vitamin C eight-fold.
We also recommend taking a wholistic approach to caring for your skin, so eating a diet that is rich in antioxidant foods is important.
Here are some Vitamin C rich fruits and vegetables that can help you get your daily dose:
- Cantaloupe
- Broccoli (cooked)
- Red cabbage
- Bell peppers
- Kiwi
- Tomatoes
- Kale
- Strawberries
- Oranges
- Snow peas
- Pineapple
In short, Vitamin C is one of the best ingredients to apply to your skin daily – it helps with sun protection, protects from environmental free radicals, helps minimize collagen breakdown and can help brighten skin tone! Try CLARA FRESH SQUEEZED, daily collagen-boosting brightening serum with Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Ferulic Acid – we recommend applying in the morning after washing and before your moisturizer and sunscreen!
