The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% Serum 30ml
The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% is a brightening serum formulated with a highly stable form of Vitamin C, known as Ascorbyl Glucoside. This water-soluble derivative of Vitamin C is gentle on the skin while offering all the powerful benefits associated with Vitamin C, such as promoting a more radiant, even complexion and combating signs of aging. At a 12% concentration, this serum works to reduce the appearance of dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone, while boosting collagen production to improve skin elasticity and smoothness.

The lightweight, non-greasy formula absorbs quickly and is compatible with most skin types, leaving the skin brighter, firmer, and more youthful over time.
