L-Ascorbic Acid

What is L-Ascorbic Acid

L-Ascorbic Acid is another way of saying: "the purest form of vitamin C you can find in skincare". This means it is an essential nutrient and plays a crucial role in skin health, offering a wide range of benefits, including being known as one of the most powerful antioxidants used in skin care, brightening the complexion, fighting free radicals and more.

Benefits:

Antioxidant: L-ascorbic acid helps neutralize free radicals caused by environmental stressors such as pollution and UV rays, protecting skin from oxidative stress and reducing premature aging.

Brightens Skin: Helps lighten the complexion by inhibiting melanin production, which minimizes hyperpigmentation, dark spots and uneven skin tone. The result is a brighter, more youthful appearance.

Increases collagen production: L-ascorbic acid promotes collagen synthesis, which is essential for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. This may help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time.

Reduces inflammation: Minimizes inflammation and redness, making it beneficial for skin conditions such as acne or rosacea.


Repairs sun damage: Although it's not a sunscreen, L-ascorbic acid can help repair skin from UV-induced damage when used in conjunction with sunscreen.


Improves skin barrier function: Supports the skin's barrier, which helps retain moisture, keeping skin hydrated and plump.
