Antioxidant Mechanism of Action | Power of Vitamins C+E

–

Environmental stressors like pollution, UV rays, and other toxins are detrimental to the skin, forming free radicals that damage healthy cells. These free radicals attack cellular DNA; damage presents as inflammation on the surface of the skin, where melanin granules also form to reveal what we know as “dark spots.”

–

Degradation of collagen and elastin proteins occurs in the dermis layer of the skin, weakening the skin and- in turn- leading to lines and wrinkles.
