Vitamin C serves as a potent antioxidant, effectively brightening the skin tone and diminishing signs of aging. However, in its pure state, Vitamin C encounters instability in water. Ascorbyl Glucoside, on the other hand, stands as a water-soluble derivative of Vitamin C, ensuring enhanced stability in aqueous environments, albeit at the cost of reduced potency compared to direct L-Ascorbic Acid.
This water-friendly attribute bestows upon it a pleasing serum texture, rendering The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% as a preferred choice among Vitamin C derivatives. Renowned for its exceptional stability and user comfort, this solution, though unable to match the potency levels of L-Ascorbic Acid, maintains a superior standard.
Beyond the overarching benefits associated with pure Vitamin C, The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% delivers specific advantages in skin brightening, promoting a more even and harmonized complexion.

This feels so good on the skin. I bought it from theordinarys.pk after mine ran out from Target. Same product.

I had a brown spot on my face which I tried to get laser removed. It came back, so I tried this product and the brown spot is completely faded. Also makes my skin look good.

After doing some research, I decided to purchase this product to help brighten my skin. I have oily skin that is prone to breakouts. I also deal with post-inflammation hyperpigmentation. I use this in conjunction with a treatment essence. I’m really pleased with the results. After a bit of trial and error, I’ve found that I don’t need a moisturizer after using this. Also, it goes on a bit sticky, but that goes away when it’s dry unless you use too much. I stick with two drops on my face and 1.5 drops on my neck.
