Do you know what's better than one vitamin? Yes, you guessed it: two.

Vitamin E stabilizes the possible oxidization of vitamin C, and they effectively act as a stronger natural sun protection, while defending against free radicals and premature aging.
Are there any drawbacks/side effects of vitamin E beauty products?
