The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% 30ml

Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% offers a lightweight, water-based formula that helps reduce signs of aging by brightening and balancing uneven skin tone. Unlike direct forms of vitamin C, this easy-to-use serum contains a water-soluble vitamin C derivative that converts into vitamin C once applied, giving it less irritation potential. And because it has advanced antioxidant properties, it also protects skin from the visual effects of damage caused by environmental stressors, helping to maintain a more radiant complexion.

Vitamin C’s efficacy in skincare stems from two primary mechanisms. These fundamental functions explain why vitamin C has become indispensable in individuals seeking solutions to their skincare needs:

• Powerful antioxidant protection: Vitamin C protects against environmental stressors from sources like pollution, that can lead to signs of aging and dullness.
• Brightening effects: Vitamin C helps reduce the appearance of uneven tone, discolouration, and dullness, resulting in a more even-looking skin tone.

Vitamin C skincare formulations come in two distinct categories: direct vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) and vitamin C derivatives. Choosing the right vitamin C format for your skin type and experience level helps ensure optimal benefits while minimizing potential irritation, ultimately affecting both your skincare results and product longevity.

Note: In its pure form, vitamin C is unstable in water. Ascorbyl Glucoside is a water-soluble derivative of vitamin C. It is much more stable in water but it is less potent than direct L-Ascorbic Acid.
