What does the product description say?
Word on the street (read a consumer perception study of 33 subjects) is that 93% agree this tinted moisturizer revives the look of their skin’s complexion instantly; 85% agree this tinted moisturizer instantly diminishes the appearance of dullness all day and 72% agree this tinted moisturizer smooths the appearance of skin texture. We like those numbers...
tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate
0.2% -
0.35%
Irritation risk:
Concentration: Insufficient!
Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable than ascorbic acid, but still degrades quickly and needs to be stabilized in a formulation with another ingredient. It is claimed to penetrate skin better than pure vitamin C and have the the similar benefits, but solid studies of its effectiveness are lacking. Is likely to require a higher concentration in a product than pure vitamin C to be effective. It might be able to help reduce pore clogging.
