Product Info:
L-Ascorbic Acid is a potent, pure form of Vitamin C known for its antioxidant, skin-brightening, and anti-aging benefits. It helps to neutralize free radicals, boost collagen synthesis, and reduce the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation. Due to its powerful effects, it is commonly used in serums, creams, and lotions aimed at achieving a radiant and youthful complexion. However, it is highly unstable and prone to oxidation, requiring careful formulation and storage.
