## Overview

The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% is a lightweight, water-based Vitamin C serum formulated with a stable derivative that brightens skin, evens tone, and provides antioxidant protection.

## Description

Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% offers a lightweight, water-based formula that helps reduce signs of aging by brightening and balancing the look of uneven skin tone. Unlike direct forms of vitamin C, this easy-to-use serum contains a water-soluble vitamin C derivative that converts into vitamin C once applied, giving it less irritation potential. And because it is formulated with/contains a potent antioxidant, it also protects skin from the visual effects of damage caused by environmental stressors, helping to maintain a more radiant complexion. Note: In its pure form, vitamin C is unstable in water. Ascorbyl Glucoside is a water-soluble derivative of vitamin C. It is much more stable in water but it is less potent than direct L-Ascorbic Acid.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12%, Vitamin C Serum for Even Skin Tone and Antioxidant
*by N***. on May 12, 2025*

Amazing Vitamin C Serum! I’ve been using The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% for about a month now, and I’m seriously impressed! This serum has become a staple in my skincare routine. My skin feels smoother, looks more even, and has that healthy glow I’ve been searching for. What I love most about this product is that it provides antioxidant protection without being harsh or irritating, which I’ve struggled with when trying other Vitamin C serums. It’s lightweight and absorbs quickly, so I can apply it easily in the morning and go about my day without worrying about a greasy feeling. I’ve also noticed a reduction in some hyperpigmentation and small dark spots I’ve had for years. The formula feels really gentle, yet effective, and it’s been great for keeping my skin tone even and bright. Plus, it’s incredibly affordable compared to other high-end Vitamin C serums on the market. The 1oz bottle lasts longer than I expected, so it’s great value for money. Highly recommend this to anyone looking to boost their skin’s radiance and fight dullness or uneven tone!
