Ingredients / Vitamin C derivative

Vitamin C derivative

Gentler, more stable forms of vitamin C (sodium ascorbyl phosphate, ethyl ascorbic acid) that brighten with less irritation than pure L-ascorbic acid.

How to use it

A good morning antioxidant for sensitive or reactive skin. Layer under SPF.

Avoid combining with

Vitamin C derivative + AHA (glycolic/lactic acid)

Stacking acidic actives can disrupt skin pH and irritate — even with a gentler vitamin C derivative.

Separate them — vitamin C in the AM, the acid at night.
