Vitamin C
There are many skin care benefits of topical vitamin C. "Vitamin C is known for its ability to neutralize the effects of aging and fine lines and give skin a beautiful glow," says Peredo. "It is one of the most important ingredients for reducing damage from free radicals and can also help boost collagen production." She adds that it works by binding to receptors in skin cells, which in turn helps strengthen the skin barrier, protects our collagen supply and stimulates skin cell turnover.

Green Tea
Green tea is another antioxidant-rich ingredient that helps ward off free radicals. "In the skin, free radicals induced by UV rays cause damage to DNA and proteins and destabilize the membranes of keratinocytes leading to premature aging of the skin cells," explains dermatologist Dr. Luigi L. Polla. "In other words, oxidation equals aging. When exposed to UV rays, the skin undergoes changes resulting in inflammation, photoaging and various skin disorders."
Green tea contains four major antioxidant flavonoids that have the ability to neutralize a number of the most harmful free radicals.
