Vitamins can reverse skin cell damage caused by sunlight
Multiple scientific studies support the use of vitamins and antioxidants in mitigating and reversing oxidative skin cell damage caused by ultraviolet radiation and sunlight.
The retrieved papers consistently establish that ultraviolet radiation causes oxidative stress and cellular damage, and that exogenous antioxidants and vitamins (such as ascorbic acid and tocopherol) play a key role in preventing or repairing this photodamage.
