Melatonin in Skin Care: Protecting From UV Damage With Vitamin C
Melatonin in Skin Care: Protecting From UV Damage With Vitamin C Melatonin already sounds pretty stellar, but we're not done with its potential benefits. Imber reveals that while he was doing initial research for the Youth Corridor Ultimate Antioxidant C Boost Serum, $195, he saw reports that showed the combination of vitamin C and melatonin resulted in more powerful antioxidant protection. An experiment involving sunburns showed skin that had topically applied vitamin C was less red after sun exposure than untreated skin. In the case of skin treated with melatonin and vitamin C and E it resulted in significantly greater sun protection. "I believe the combination of vitamin C, vitamin E and melatonin represents the most truly effective way to get enough of these antioxidants into the skin to impede collagen destruction, encourage collagen production, reduce facial wrinkles and reverse sun damage," explains Imber.
