Vitamin C is considered as an antioxidant. As a substance with strong antioxidant capacity, it has a good scavenging effect on free radicals produced by human body under unfavorable external conditions. VC is reductive, which can block the production of arginase and affect the production of melanin in the process of dopa forming melanin.
On the other hand, vitamin A is quite fragile. Afraid of oxidation and ultraviolet rays, it is easy to inactivate during the day and useless, but it is better to use it at night. Although these two ingredients are good, they are both irritating to some extent. Vitamin c is slightly less irritating, but it is enough to make people blush for sensitive muscles. Vitamin A, also known as retinol, has the functions of improving fine lines and wrinkles, shrinking pores and controlling and reducing oil secretion. The best is anti-aging, which can stimulate the regeneration of dermal cells and collagen.
However, all skin care work cannot be generalized. If you only talk about ingredients and ignore the formula and technology of products, and blindly pursue high efficiency regardless of your own skin condition, then "early C and late A" will not only make your skin rejuvenate, but also make you step on thunder, redness, allergies, peeling and even rotten face in minutes. Generally speaking, I personally prefer the combination of pre-C and post-A. If the skin is in a healthy state and there are students who need to fight aging, then you can start to act.
