Want Vitamin C benefits without the irritation or oxidation? This is the stable, everyday alternative.

The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% is a water-soluble, highly stable form of Vitamin C that delivers consistent brightening and anti-aging results without the sensitivity or oxidation issues of pure L-Ascorbic Acid. Ascorbyl Glucoside is considered the gold standard of Vitamin C derivatives, it converts to active Vitamin C gradually on skin for a gentler and more sustained release. At 12% concentration it brightens dull skin tone, fades dark spots and reduces visible signs of aging with a lightweight, pleasant serum texture that suits all skin types.

Stable. Gentle. Consistent brightening and Vitamin C made for daily use.

Ingredients & What They Do

Ascorbyl Glucoside — 12%
Ascorbyl Glucoside is a water-soluble Vitamin C derivative formed by bonding L-Ascorbic Acid with glucose. This bond makes it exceptionally stable in water-based formulas — unlike pure Vitamin C which oxidizes rapidly. When applied to skin enzymes gradually break the bond and release active Vitamin C for a sustained and gentle brightening effect. It delivers the core benefits of Vitamin C — brightening, antioxidant protection and anti-aging — with significantly better stability and tolerability. It is less potent than pure L-Ascorbic Acid but far more consistent and suitable for daily long-term use.

How To Use

Step 1: Cleanse face thoroughly and pat skin completely dry

Step 2: Apply toner if part of your routine and allow to absorb

Step 3: Dispense a few drops onto fingertips

Step 4: Gently press and smooth evenly across face and neck

Step 5: Allow to absorb fully for 1 to 2 minutes before next step

Step 6: Follow with moisturizer and always apply SPF 30 or higher in the morning

Pro Tips:

• Safe for morning and evening use, gentle enough for daily application
• Always follow with SPF in the morning by which the Vitamin C increases sun sensitivity

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How is this different from pure Vitamin C?
A: Pure L-Ascorbic Acid is more potent but unstable — it oxidizes quickly and can cause irritation. Ascorbyl Glucoside is more stable, gentler and releases Vitamin C gradually on skin. It is ideal for daily use and sensitive skin types.

Q: How long until I see results?
A: Visible brightening is typically noticeable within 4 to 6 weeks of consistent twice daily use. Being a gentler derivative results build gradually but are long-lasting.

Q: Can sensitive skin use this?
A: Yes. Ascorbyl Glucoside is one of the most tolerable forms of Vitamin C available. It is significantly less irritating than pure L-Ascorbic Acid and suitable for sensitive and reactive skin types.

Q: Can I use this with Niacinamide?
A: Not on the same application. Use Ascorbyl Glucoside in the morning and Niacinamide in the evening for best results from both ingredients.

Q: Will this serum turn orange like other Vitamin C products?
A: No. Ascorbyl Glucoside is highly stable in water and does not oxidize the way pure Vitamin C does. The formula stays clear and effective throughout its shelf life.
