Vitamin C and vitamin E: work well together

Work well together

Use them together in the morning, applying vitamin C first and vitamin E right after, because they boost each other's sun-protecting power. Vitamin E helps keep the vitamin C stable so it works better and lasts longer on your skin. You can switch to a lower concentration if you feel any mild tingling, or wait a minute between steps.
