Vitamin C has been leading the charts, in the context of skincare superheroes, since time immemorial, and rightly so. Reputed to increase the glow, decrease dark spots, and nourish the skin, vitamin C is a skin-saving essential for anyone on a quest to have a rosy complexion. Not every vitamin C is the same. Traditional science made easy with the science of 3-O-Ethyl L-Ascorbic Acid.
What Is 3-O-Ethyl L-Ascorbic Acid?
Pure Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is demonstrated as a stable, water-soluble derivative with molecules known as 3-O-Ethyl L-Ascorbic Acid. Compared to the conventional forms, this modern molecule is very stable, non-irritating, and permeates the skin easily and is therefore suitable to be applied every day.
Its molecular structure enables it to go far inside the skin and transform into active vitamin C in the skin cells, which makes it most effective, and it does not show the typical irritation and oxidation that the stable form of vitamin C does.
Why It Matters in Skincare
This form of vitamin C offers multi-dimensional benefits for the skin:
- Brightens dull skin and fades dark spots
- Fights free radicals and environmental stress
- Promotes collagen production for firm, youthful skin
- Gentle on sensitive skin, even at high concentrations
- Boosts hydration and skin clarity when paired with actives like Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, and Ceramides
When & How to Use It
Use your vitamin C serum in the morning after cleansing and before moisturizing or applying SPF. Since it helps defend against UV and pollution-induced oxidative damage, it’s your daytime skin shield.
Pro tip: Always follow up with a broad-spectrum sunscreen for best results.
If you’ve tried vitamin C in the past and found it irritating or ineffective, don’t give up yet. Try a stabilized, science-backed formula like ours—because real results come from real formulations. Let your skin meet Vitamin C, upgraded.
