For those new to vitamin C or seeking a stable, gentle brightening formula, The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% (30ml) is a lightweight, water-based serum built on ascorbyl glucoside — a water-soluble vitamin C derivative that converts into active vitamin C on the skin, delivering brightening benefits with a lower irritation profile than direct vitamin C acids.
Key Benefits:
• Visibly evens skin tone and diminishes the appearance of dark spots and uneven pigmentation
• Provides antioxidant protection against free radical damage from environmental stressors
• Supports natural collagen synthesis to improve skin firmness and reduce signs of ageing
• More stable than direct L-Ascorbic Acid, with lower irritation potential suited to sensitive skin
Key Ingredients:
• Ascorbyl Glucoside 12% — water-soluble vitamin C derivative that converts to active vitamin C on the skin
• Propanediol — hydrating carrier that improves spreadability
• Xanthan Gum + Isoceteth-20 — stabilise the formula and ensure even distribution
How to Use: Apply a few drops to the face in the AM treatment step after cleansing and before moisturiser; use daily SPF to maximise brightening results.
