Description: Next-Gen Vitamin C for Radiant Skin

Ascorbyl glucoside is a cutting-edge stable vitamin C derivative that combines ascorbic acid with glucose through enzymatic synthesis. This water-soluble skin brightening agent gradually releases pure vitamin C upon skin contact, offering prolonged antioxidant protection without the irritation common to traditional L-ascorbic acid formulations.

As a gold-standard ingredient in cosmeceuticals, it effectively addresses hyperpigmentation, photoaging, and oxidative stress while maintaining exceptional formulation stability in creams, serums, and toners.
