The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12%.

How It Works:

• Brightening and Even Skin Tone: Ascorbyl Glucoside helps to brighten the complexion and improve uneven skin tone by promoting the conversion of melanin (the pigment responsible for skin color). Over time, it can help fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation, leading to a more radiant and uniform skin tone.
• Antioxidant Defense: Ascorbyl Glucoside’s antioxidant properties help protect the skin from the harmful effects of free radicals, which are produced by sun exposure, pollution, and other environmental stressors. This helps prevent the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging, giving the skin a healthier, more youthful look.
• Gentler Vitamin C: Unlike L-Ascorbic Acid, which can be irritating for sensitive skin, Ascorbyl Glucoside offers a gentler alternative that still provides all the benefits of vitamin C without the risk of irritation, making it suitable for daily use, even for those with sensitive or reactive skin.

How to Use:

1. After Cleansing: Apply a few drops of Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% to a clean face and neck. Gently massage the serum into the skin until fully absorbed.
2. Layering: Use it after toners or other serums, but before heavier moisturizers or oils.
3. Morning and Night: This product can be used in both your morning and evening skincare routines.
4. Follow with Sunscreen: Vitamin C can increase the skin’s sensitivity to UV rays, so it’s important to use sunscreen during the day when incorporating this serum into your routine.

Note:

• Stability: Unlike pure L-Ascorbic Acid, Ascorbyl Glucoside is more stable in water-based solutions, which helps ensure the product maintains its effectiveness over time. However, it is less potent than pure vitamin C derivatives, meaning it may take a little longer to show visible results.

Results and Benefits:

• Brighter, Even Skin Tone: Over time, this serum can help reduce dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone, leaving the skin with a radiant and glowing complexion.
• Reduced Signs of Aging: By protecting the skin from oxidative damage, it can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, keeping the skin looking youthful.
• Gentle on Sensitive Skin: Ascorbyl Glucoside is less irritating than traditional vitamin C, making it suitable for those with sensitive skin who want the benefits of vitamin C without the risk of irritation.

Storage:

• Keep the product in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain its effectiveness.

Caution:

• As with any vitamin C product, use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from UV damage and prevent irritation.
• Perform a patch test before use to ensure compatibility with your skin, especially if you have sensitive skin.

Suitable For:

• Individuals looking to brighten their skin and improve uneven skin tone.
• Those seeking a gentler alternative to traditional vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) that is less likely to cause irritation.
• Ideal for individuals with sensitive skin or those who are new to incorporating vitamin C into their skincare routine.

Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% offers a stable, effective, and gentler alternative to direct vitamin C, making it a great option for those looking to brighten their complexion, reduce signs of aging, and protect their skin from environmental stressors, all while maintaining a more radiant and even skin tone.
