About
A stable vitamin C derivative that aims to give antioxidant and brightening benefits with less sting than pure ascorbic acid.
This ascorbate derivative links vitamin C to glyceryl and fatty acid groups, which can improve stability and skin feel compared with plain ascorbic acid. Topical safety is generally good, but real brightening performance depends on how efficiently the derivative converts on skin and on the rest of the formula.
