“Unlabel Lab Vitamin C Powder Wash”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, potassium laurate, potassium myristate, sodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium cocoyl glycinate, sodium lauroyl aspartate, sodium taurine cocoyl methyltaurate) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently. Still keep in mind that any cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.

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)

A vitamin C derivative that is more stable but less potent than pure form of vitamin C.
