Brighten the skin and reduce visible signs of ageing with The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12%. This Vitamin C packed formula has been designed to effectively brighten the skin tone on the face. The formula contains Ascorbyl Glucoside; this ingredient is a derivative of Vitamin C that is soluble in water. Pure forms of Vitamin C are unstable in water, however, Ascorbyl Glucoside is much more stable and less potent than applying direct Ascorbic Acid. The water compatibility of Ascorbyl Glucoside means that this solution has a pleasant texture, similar to a serum and is comfortable on the skin. Delivering a healthy dose of Vitamin C to skin supports a healthy functioning dermis and has been shown to have significant brightening properties. Products from The Ordinary focus on making clinical technology and functional beauty more widely accessible. Every product is innovatively formulated by a team of chemistry and biochemistry specialists using only ultra-pure and high quality ingredients, producing products that are as gentle and effective as possible. This Solution is free of alcohol, oil, silicone and gluten, it is also cruelty-free and vegan. To use this serum, apply a few drops to the face in mornings and evenings, smoothing over with fingertips before allowing it to absorb.
