Product summary
What can the product work for?
Works for
Anti-aging
What does the product description say?
Helps smooth, strengthen, and protect healthy skin with 3 synergistic forms of Vitamin C. Beneficial to all skin types, especially skin that show signs of premature ageing, irregular tone and sun-damage.
ascorbyl glucoside
2.2% -
3.3%
Irritation risk:
Concentration: Effectiveness:
MEDIUM
A vitamin C derivative that is more stable but less potent than pure form of vitamin C. Has a potential to boost collagen production, nutralise free radicals and reduce hyperpigmentation, but the required concentration is likely to be much higher than for the pure form of vitamin C, limiting the ingredient's effectiveness in products
ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate
5.1% -
7.7%
Irritation risk:
Concentration: Effectiveness:
MEDIUM
A vitamin C derivative. Studies show that is might be effective in reducing hyperpigmentation, but there are no studies confirming that it is effectively converted into the bioavailable form of Vitamin C in skin. It is not clear how this derivative compares in effectiveness to the topical application of bioavailable form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid)
ascorbyl palmitate
1.4% -
2.2%
Irritation risk:
Concentration: Insufficient!
Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable and can penetrate the skin better than L-Ascorbic acid. It is effective in protecting the skin from free radicals, as well as evening the skin tone, but is less effective in stimulating collagen production compared to L-Ascorbic acid.
