Ascorbyl Glucoside - Vitamin C
Ascorbyl Glucoside is a stable connection between vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and grape sugar (glucose). Vitamin C in its pure form is not suitable for skin care, as it is too acidic and irritating to the skin with its low pH value below 4 when used daily. Pure vitamin C is prone to oxidation, so it decomposes quickly and loses its effectiveness. In order to optimize its effectiveness, the ascorbyl glucoside we use is only converted into ascorbic acid in the skin cells. Ascorbyl Glucoside has an effectiveness comparable to that of ascorbic acid, but is significantly more skin-friendly. It is therefore considered a gentle vitamin C alternative for sensitive skin. When used regularly, Ascorbyl Glucoside delays the aging process of the skin cells. It improves the skin's own sun protection by protecting against cell damage as a result of excessive UV radiation. Ascorbyl Glucoside also stimulates collagen production. It protects against the formation of wrinkles, brightens pigment and age spots, especially in combination with vitamin B3 (niacinamide).r.
