Ref: 8883960156985
Potent Antioxidant & Brightening: L-Ascorbic Acid and 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid are both forms of Vitamin C, known for their powerful antioxidant and skin-brightening properties.
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Skin Type
Suitable for Most Skin Types, Especially Dull Skin and Those Seeking Anti-Aging Benefits: Vitamin C is beneficial for a wide range of skin types, particularly those looking to brighten their complexion, reduce hyperpigmentation, and combat signs of aging. However, L-Ascorbic Acid can be irritating for very sensitive skin, so starting with a lower concentration or the more stable derivative (3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid) might be advisable.
Skincare Benefits
- Potent Antioxidant Protection
(Long-term):
Vitamin
C, particularly L-Ascorbic Acid and 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid , is a powerful
antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals—unstable molecules that
contribute to premature aging and skin damage. By reducing oxidative stress,
Vitamin C protects the skin from environmental aggressors like UV radiation,
pollution, and toxins , helping to maintain a youthful and healthy complexion
over time.
- Brightening and Reducing
Hyperpigmentation (2-6 Weeks):
Vitamin
C is well-known for its ability to inhibit melanin production, making it an
effective ingredient for fading dark spots, post-inflammatory
hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone. L-Ascorbic Acid and 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic
Acid work by interfering with the enzyme tyrosinase, which is responsible for
melanin synthesis. With consistent use, this serum can help reveal a brighter,
more radiant complexion and reduce the appearance of discoloration.
- Boosting Collagen Production (4-12
Weeks):
Collagen
is a key structural protein that keeps the skin firm and elastic. Vitamin C
plays a crucial role in collagen synthesis, helping to strengthen the skin’s
support network and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Over
time, this serum can contribute to firmer, plumper skin, making it an excellent
choice for those looking to combat signs of aging.
- Hydration (Immediate – Few Days):
Sodium Hyaluronate, a derivative of Hyaluronic
Acid, is a powerful humectant that attracts and retains moisture in the skin.
It helps to keep the skin hydrated, plump, and smooth, reducing dryness and
dehydration. This ensures that the skin remains soft and supple,
- Improved Skin Barrier Function (2-4
Weeks):
Vitamin
C supports the skin’s natural barrier by enhancing moisture retention and
reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL). A strong skin barrier helps protect
against environmental damage, irritation, and sensitivity. Over time, this
serum can contribute to healthier, more resilient skin that is better able to
defend itself against external stressors.
- Soothing and Anti-inflammatory
(Potentially Long-term):
While
L-Ascorbic Acid can sometimes be irritating, 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid is a more
stable and gentler derivative that may offer anti-inflammatory benefits.
Additionally, ingredients like Echinacea Purpurea Extract, Pueraria Lobata Root
Extract, and Angelica Polymorpha Sinensis Root Extract provide soothing
properties that help calm redness and irritation. This makes the serum suitable
for reducing inflammation and supporting skin recovery over time.

Incorporating the technique for optimal application
Here’s a refined guide:
- Cleanse – Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat dry.
- Apply – Dispense a few drops of the serum onto your fingertips.
- Spread & Press – Dab the serum onto 5–6 areas of your face and neck, then gently smooth it outward for intense hydration.
- Boost Absorption – Using your fingertips, perform quick tapping movements from the forehead to the cheeks, then from the chin to the neck. This enhances absorption into the skin.
- Absorb – Allow the serum to fully sink in before applying additional products.
- Follow Up – Apply a moisturizer and sunscreen (if used in the morning) to lock in hydration. If using makeup, this serum creates a smooth base for foundation.
For best results, use morning and evening for a hydrated, plumper, and radiant complexion.
