Vitamin E is an antioxidant, which helps protect against sun damage and may reduce inflammation. It’s best applied in the morning, to help protect your skin from environmental damage such as ultraviolet light. It’s well tolerated by most skin types. Vitamin C regenerates oxidised Vitamin E, so the two work best in combination. For decades, Vitamin E has been reported to help hydrate the skin and reduce wrinkles, but there isn’t much evidence supporting these claims.
Evidence base: Strong
How to use: in the morning, before sun exposure.
