The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% 30ml
Product Description
Stable. Gentle. Consistent Brightening and Vitamin C Made for Daily Use
Product Description
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 the 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.

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 the 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, as the Vitamin C increases sun sensitivity. Do not mix with Niacinamide on the same application for best results. Pairs well with Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA for enhanced dark spot fading.

FAQs
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 the 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.
