Achieve a visibly brighter complexion with The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12%, a vitamin c serum that targets the signs of ageing & dullness to give you glowing, youthful-looking skin. The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% encompasses all of the radiance-boosting benefits of vitamin c. This water-stable derivative helps to produce collagen, which promotes firmer & plumper skin, while it inhibits melanin production to help balance out uneven skin tone & brighten the skin. The serum is incredibly lightweight, meaning it absorbs into the skin instantly, & doesn't feel heavy or greasy after you apply. Antioxidant vitamin c also protects the skin from free radicals & environmental damage, such as pollution, UV rays & cigarette smoke linked to premature ageing. Vitamin c is an essential preventative measure to defend the skin against signs of ageing, & will keep your complexion looking healthy & glowing. Why We Love It Vitamin c is one ingredient that we recommend everyone adds to their skincare regime as it's an antioxidant that your body can't produce naturally. If vitamin c is new to you, this is a great introduction to it as it's considered the gold standard in terms of vitamin c because it's stable in water. For any The Ordinary fans who find the higher concentrations like the 100% P Direct Ascorbic Acid too strong, this is a less potent option that will still deliver. Innovative & scientific, The Ordinary has formulated the serum to be effortless as well as effective. You can apply this formula with precision thanks to its built-in pipette, & UV-protective bottle ensures that your vitamin c (notoriously unstable) maintains the formula's potency. How To Use It Squeeze the pipette to draw a few drops & apply to your face & massage into the skin as part of your morning & evening skincare regime.
