The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% - Vitamin C Serum for Even Skin Tone & Antioxidant Protection, 1 Fl Oz

Product Overview

The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% is a high-concentration vitamin C serum designed to deliver visible brightening and antioxidant benefits without irritation. Ascorbyl glucoside is a stable, water-soluble derivative of vitamin C that converts to L-ascorbic acid upon skin contact. This 12% concentration offers effective results while being gentle enough for most skin types, including sensitive skin. The serum is part of The Ordinary's commitment to providing effective, no-frills skincare at accessible prices.

Key Features and Benefits

• 12% Ascorbyl Glucoside: A stable vitamin C derivative that brightens skin tone and reduces the appearance of hyperpigmentation and dark spots.
• Antioxidant Protection: Helps neutralize free radicals from environmental stressors, supporting overall skin health.
• Even Skin Tone: Regular use promotes a more uniform complexion and reduces dullness.
• Lightweight Texture: Water-based formula absorbs quickly without greasiness, suitable under makeup or other treatments.
• Gentle Formulation: Suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin, with minimal risk of irritation.

How to Use

Apply a few drops to the face in the morning as part of your skincare routine. Use after cleansing and before moisturizer. Avoid contact with eyes. If irritation occurs, reduce frequency to every other day or patch test first. Can be used in combination with other serums, but avoid mixing with direct acids or niacinamide in the same step (use at different times of day).

Who It Is For

This serum is ideal for anyone looking to improve skin brightness, reduce dark spots or uneven tone, and add antioxidant protection to their routine. It is particularly suitable for those with normal, dry, combination, or sensitive skin who want a stable, effective vitamin C option without high acidity.

Why Choose This Product

The Ordinary is known for transparent, science-backed formulations at fair prices. This serum uses a well-studied vitamin C derivative that is more stable than pure L-ascorbic acid, offering longer shelf life and less irritation. With 12% active concentration, it delivers noticeable results while being gentle enough for daily use.
