Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body. Its fiber-like structure is used to make connective tissue. This type of tissue connects other tissues and is a major component of bone, skin, muscles, tendons, and cartilage, helping them be strong and resilient, able to withstand stretching. Human bodies create collagen naturally. Over time, however, the production of this protein slows down, also due to excess sun exposure, smoking, excess alcohol, and lack of sleep and exercise. As a result, a person’s skin begins to lose some of its ability to bounce back into shape, a process that many call “elasticity.” As this occurs, wrinkles begin to form.
 
Vitamin C play a role in protecting against free radicals, strengthening your immune system, improving collagen synthesis acting as a sort of glue that binds collagen fibers together, preventing scurvy, vitamin B12 deficiency and biotin deficiency.
 
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble nutrient found in many foods. In the body, it acts as an antioxidant, helping to protect cells from the damage caused by free radicals. The body also needs vitamin E to boost its immune system so that it can fight off invading bacteria and viruses, in addition, cells use vitamin E to interact with each other and to carry out many important functions. Pairing vitamin E benefits with vitamin C can have a good antioxidant effect on skin. There's evidence that combining these two nutrients speeds up wound healing, and promotes healthy skin cell growth.
