About

Ethylated Ascorbic Acid 15% Solution is an advanced, direct-acting oil-like serum that helps visibly reduce signs of aging by brightening and balancing uneven skin tone. Among our other vitamin C offerings, what sets this formula apart is its ethylation which gives a small molecular size, allowing for faster visible results with less irritation potential. Ethylation is a process which helps promote the stability of Vitamin C while still retaining the direct-acting benefits when compared to other Vitamin C Derivatives. And because it has advanced antioxidant properties, this water-free formula protects your skin from the visual effects of damage caused by environmental stressors, helping to maintain a more radiant complexion.

What does Ethylated ascorbic acid 15% solution do?

Ethylated Ascorbic Acid 15% Solution is an advanced, direct-acting oil-like serum that helps visibly reduce signs of aging by brightening and balancing uneven skin tone.

How do you use ordinary vitamin C ascorbic acid?

Because The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% is a water-based vitamin C serum, you should apply it before oils/creams. 100% L-Ascorbic Acid Powder is mixed with other products, so you should use it during the step of your skincare routine that you would use the product that you are mixing it with.

Can you mix Ethylated ascorbic acid with niacinamide?

So, to reiterate, combining ascorbic or l-ascorbic acid with niacinamide is fine.
