Do you take the vitamin c as l-ascorbic acid, which is the purest form of vitamin c? This is very important for it to work. I'd also recommend mixed tocepherols (vitmain e softgels), alpha lipoic acid capsules (a very potent antixodent and anti-inflammatory), Biocell Collagen capsules with hyaluronic acid and of course, a completely multi vitmain and mineral supplement, to ensure you are getting all your recommend daily allowances of vitmains and minerals.

There have been NO scientific studies (valid studies that were done correctly: double-blinded, placebo controlled) that show the benefits of all the vitamins/supplements another person recommended. Vitamin C has NEVER been shown to prevent colds and too much vitamin-C can causes kidney stones if you don't drink enough water daily.
The only vitamins/supplements that are recommended (in people with no metabolic disorders and living in a developed country) are 1) extra calcium in post-menopausal women if they don't take in enough dairy (the loss of estrogen takes away the protective effects on your bones) and 2) Vitamin D in women of cultures who keep all their skin covered from head to toe while outside. The sun on your skin causes your body to produce Vitamin D. Vitamin D is important in calcium regulation and 3) Iron in people who don't eat enough meat or green-leafy vegetables (particulary menstruating women who don't eat these items because they have an ongoing constant blood loss monthly)
If your diet is adequate I would only recommend a daily multi-vitamin (if you insist on taking one) plus one of the above if you fall into those categories. Also, almost EVERY person in a developed country has an adequate diet (regarding vitamins) unless you are bulemic, anorexic or extremely-poor with not enough food. Even if you eat fast-food all day every day, there is enough vitamins and minerals in that food. Just too much fat and cholesterol. But, that is another quesiton.

Woman's Ultra Mega from GNC, I can tell a huge difference if I take it or not. I think it helps me to have energy to workout and still clean my house and make dinner when I get home. It doesn't advertise that it gives you energy though, but that's just the difference I feel. I also just get a sense of health and balance. Hope this helps!

Besides the good vitamins C & E... you must drink a lot of water... that is one of the most important things that keep your skin hydrated and elastic.
