Can I use vitamin C, vitamin E, and sunscreen together?

Short answerYesLimited evidence: Based on lab/animal research, expert opinion, or an absence of reported problems — not a dedicated human safety study.

Yes — a cited synergy. Sunscreen blocks only part of UV-induced free-radical formation, so a topical antioxidant adds complementary, non-redundant photoprotection under it. The supporting studies are swine-skin models — animal data, not human trials.
