Science & Benefits

Ascorbyl Glucoside is a highly stable Vitamin C derivative created by bonding L-ascorbic acid with a molecule of glucose. This sugar-bond makes it a unique humectant-antioxidant hybrid; the glucose helps the skin retain moisture while the Vitamin C is slowly released into the skin through the enzyme alpha-glucosidase. This 'timed-release' mechanism makes it significantly less irritating than pure Vitamin C, making it a 'bulletproof' brightening choice for sensitive, acne-prone skin. It is completely non-comedogenic and highly effective at fading post-acne marks (PIH) and boosting collagen production without the risk of triggering redness or stinging.
