Buy a Vitamin C that contains mineral ascorbates and/or bioflavonoids. Plain ascorbic acid crystals will irritate the lining of your stomach and intestines. Spread out the dosage through the day because your body will absorb only so much at one time.
The powder form is more bioavailable to your body than the pill form, but both will work. Increase your dose of vitamin C slowly.

When buying vitamin E, be sure the source is natural. Look for "d-tocopherol" on the label and not "dl-tocopherol," which is synthetic. Also use an E vitamin that has mixed tocopherols and tocotrienols. A multivitamin-mineral does contain vitamin E but does not have high enough amounts for quality aging.
