The Ordinary Solution of Ascorbyl Glucoside 12% Vitamin C

A Brightening Serum based on Stabilized Vitamin C Derivative

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that targets the radiance of the complexion and the signs of skin aging. In its pure form, Vitamin C is unstable in water. Ascorbyl Glucoside is a water soluble Vitamin C derivative. It is therefore more stable but less powerful than L-Ascorbic Acid. Its compatibility with water gives it a light serum texture. It is considered one of the best derivatives of Vitamin C thanks to its very good stability and its pleasant texture, however it is impossible to reach the power of L-Ascorbic Acid with this formula. In addition to the known benefits of pure Vitamin C, Ascorbyl Glucoside has demonstrated brightening effects.
