Vitamin C and ellagic acid
Work well together
Use them together in the morning, because ellagic acid helps vitamin C work better and stay stable on the skin. Vitamin C brightens the skin while ellagic acid fights dark spots and helps protect the vitamin C from breaking down too fast. You can use both daily, but if your skin feels sensitive, try applying them on alternate mornings instead.
